St. Nicholas’ descent down the chimney was uneventful, but instead of stockings hanging from the mantle he found a menorah and some Mogen David wine. He made a mental note to have the elves update the database, then carefully selected eight gifts, small enough to fit into the spaces for the menorah candles, and placed them gently therein. He helped himself to a generous sample of the wine, and left a note, “Thank you for the wine, but I prefer something less sweet. Happy holidays, St. Nick.” Although slightly tilted, he ascended successfully, and flew off to the next chimney.
