Modern St. Nicholas

Like many other residents of Chicago, we are struggling with eradicating mice in our house. So when Jonathan and I realized that St. Nicholas would be filling our shoes last night, we reminded him that candy and fruit on the floor are not the best idea right now.

Early this morning, I found nine shoes in the back of our van. As I moved them just inside our front door, I noticed that St. Nicholas had protected the food from the mice but forgot that tropical fruits like bananas don't fare well in Chicago's freezing climate.

As a side note...
To keep mice from coming INTO your house from open doors, place dryer sheets at the threshhold. This works well for us at the garage door to the kitchen. We have garage mice, but so far they have STAYED garage mice!
Blessings on your St. Nick Day!
Love,
Your Colorado Cuz
