If you haven’t been good you should put on your best behavior now for you don’t know when Old Santa Claus may be peeping around the corner.

The Twins were told to get a new picture for the Cliffside News as the ones they now use does not look like the originals. Thanks for the nice compliments (C. P.) you paid the Twins, but we’re thinking that it was all flattery. We’ll try and see what we can do about this matter.
