We were part of Small Business Saturday this year - YEA! we were included. We were on the "passport" that was supposed to be signed by each shop to qualify for the drawing for a basket of great stuff (what else - 2 roasts of coffees from here). Santa needed a place to change - so we offered here. Tour of the house was to be Noon to 3. Of course the door started opening at 11. As I took them upstairs to tour the B & B, Santa came out to go to his first store and ask if I knew his schedule and where he was supposed to go first. He nodded to the guests and said, "Santa needs a place to stay when he visits Shinnston." (When he came back to change, he asked if it was OK that he said that. OK? It was perfect!)
ONLY because we were on the passport did I expect to have many come here - so I made a raft of muffins, a large pot of coffee, and bought a gallon of cider. I doubt if I had 2 dozen people - some who got initialed and left, some who sampled muffins, and some who also did the tour. I sent Santa off with a lot of muffins - it is a long way back to the North Pole - tool some to the ladies at the Shab by Ch ic Sis ters, and I still have a lot left. Gave almost a whole gallon of cider to the Prez of the Woman's Club & she took a few muffins. I made Surprise muffins also because I was afraid I would not have enough of the Muffins Worth Getting Up For (MORE than enough).
