- Instead of milk and cookies, leave him a salad, and a note explaining that you think he could stand to lose a few pounds.
- While he's in the house, go find his sleigh and write him a speeding ticket.
- Leave him a note, explaining that you've gone away for the holidays. Ask if he would mind watering your plants.
- While he's in the house, replace all his reindeer with exact replicas. Then wait and see what happens when he tries to get them to fly.
- Keep an angry bull in your living room. If you think a bull goes crazy when he sees a little red cape, wait until he sees that big, red Santa suit!
- Build an army of mean-looking snowmen on the roof, holding signs that say "We hate Christmas," and "Go away Santa"
- Leave a note by the telephone, telling Santa that Mrs. Claus called and wanted to remind him to pick up some milk and a loaf of bread on his way home.
- Set a bear trap at the bottom of the chimney. Wait for Santa to get caught in it, and then explain that you're sorry, but from a distance, he looked like a bear.
- While he's in the house, find the sleigh and sit in it. As soon as he comes back and sees you, tell him that he shouldn't have missed that last payment, and take off.

I love Miracle on 34th street with cute-as-a-button Natalie Wood.
Sorry I haven't been around much, even about football. After that shelacking we took from New Orleans, who turn around and get squelched by the Redskins, I've vowed to stay away from football shows like Inside the NFL and from all the websites I've read daily. I need to get some writing done.
I'll try to post later.
Be well. And despite my new attitude, I couldn't help but watch and be excited about Saturdays game. But we have some problems on D.
ROFLOL. I love these "how to confuse Santa" tricks.
Thanks for sharing, Bailey!
Oh, poor Santa. I gave your earlier one to my son. Thought he was going to bust a gut. I'll give him this one too.
Happy Birthday Uncle Bill--how was the party?
Like the Santa tricks. poor Santa :)
When you wake up Christmas morning and find coal in your stocking it'll be because of the "how to confuse Santa" tricks! ;)
Thanks for the reminder of Miracle On 34th Street. I love it!
Chocolate Peanut Butter Squares sound yummy. I'm printing it out for my mom.
Yeah Cowboys! Did you have a good time at the party?
OOOOH, those cookies sound divine!
LOL. Those are funny.
No wonder Jill has 97 comments. Maybe by the end of day she'll have 100 comments and birthday sishes. Maybe I'll go back over there and help it along.
Boy, you must really be needing some coal 'cause you're sure to get lots of it with all those tricks. *g*
Speaking of coal, we watched Santa Clause 2 last night, too funny.
Thanks for the contest notice at Jill's, I've thrown my name into the hat.
Happy Birthday Uncle Bill!!!!
The peanut butter squares sound delicious!
Loving the bull one!!! You are going to get a stern talking to from Santa this year.
I'm BACK! And just in time for chocolate and peanut butter!
Mmmm, I’ve been drooling over all the scrumptious recipes you’ve been posting, Bailey. Yum! The chocolate peanut butter squares sound fabulous (LOVE that combination!)--and so quick and easy!
I’ve never read a Jill Shalvis book but after having read that heartfelt tribute you wrote for her birthday I’m definitely going to have to check out her work. :-)
The original Miracle On 34th Street is one of my favorite Christmas movies! I always liked Natalie Wood and I feel bad about what happened to her.
Happy Birthday, Uncle Bill!
We just watched our favorite - National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Miracle unfortunately is on against football - bah humbug.
I love these, especially the one about leaving a note by the phone.
My Christmas holiday is not complete if I don't see the original B&w version of Miracle on 34th Street.
OOoh, I just bought National Lampoons Christmas Vacation for DH's present. Guess it's a good one?
You have an Uncle Bill? Happy B-day to him.
However, in my head, sick that it is, I hear ...Oh Noooo, It's...Uncle Biiilll!
Remember SNL from the 80's? I thought Mr. Bill was such a hoot.
You know, there's a LOT of thought going into tricking Santa. Where do you get fake reindeer anyway. And how do you know whether or not Rudolph is going to be pulling that sleigh?
Now horses .... horses I could get you -two life sized Morgans. There standing proud and tall in an MD's front lawn
Why? I have no idea, but they certainly are attention grabbers.
I saw them today and was astounded.
I've heard of flamingos, lawn gnomes and bird feeders, but life sized horses?
He at LEAST could have put wreaths on the beasts ..geesh.
