It's such a treat to see your comment here. I grew up on a farm and was exposed to endless surprises found in natural things -- the star inside a tree twig, the peanut santa, and I could go on and on. I'm happy to see that other people are out there who are aware of all these little "secrets", too! :) Enjoy your "Santas" today and stop back by here if you're ever so inclined. Nice to meet you! Hi Cathy!

I thought we were the only kids in the world to ever learn about the magical Santa in the Peanut!! My mom showed my brother and I that when we were small. We in turn showed our kids. However, when we tell anybody outside the family about the "Peanut Santa" we typically get an odd look.. hahahaha! As luck would have it my daughter is eating peanuts right now and she brought me a handful of "Santas".. It prompted me to go online and see if anybody else out here remembers that. :) Oh my gosh!!!

They naturally go together, anyway (Reece's PB cups!), right? ;) What’s not natural in this world without peanut butter and Hershey’s syrup?

I can't even look at a banana without thinking... "You are such a beautiful, peaceful example of how perfect nature is... and best served with peanut butter and Hershey's chocolate syrup." (But that last part doesn't have anything to do with Nature... that's all me.) ;) Isn’t it the best?

I'm glad you liked it! (I've got to start practicing for your 2010 year of laughter, right?). ;) Oh man, don't tell me you fell for the coin behind the ear trick. What a GEEK!!! That's OK, though, it takes one to know one. Now, I'm off to go practice finding the image in the fractals... Have a great weekend, Tim! Hi Tim,

You're totally the type of little kid that would've got me in trouble, me the perfect, suck up, teacher's pet! I needed someone like you to push me off my throne! ha ha ha! Yeah, you'd LOVE all my uncles. They rock! I love the banana thing, Lisis, and I just TRIED it - yay for banana peace signs! I'll never eat a banana the same way. :) Ah-ha! I knew it!

I would have had a BALL making stuff up to put you through! The porcupine thing is brilliant! I like your uncle already. I have to say, I've never noticed the Peanut Santa before, but I do love slightly squishing a pealed banana until it splits in perfect thirds, where you can see the seeds. We'll call that the Banana Peace Sign, and throw it in for the Holidays. :) .-= Lisis´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.questforbalance.com/2009/12/18/why-do-you-fear-being-great-you-yellow-bellied-coward/" rel="nofollow">Why Do You Fear Being Great, You Yellow-Bellied Coward?</a> =-.

Other than meeting people and helping me to heal, my goal with my blog is to 1) have fun and 2) keep people guessing about what they'll learn at my blog next! It's funny, I always wanted to write for an agency like "Science for the Public Interest" or for the show "Bill Nye the Science Guy." My blog is quite a fun outlet, so thanks for making it fun by reading my dorky posts! And guess what, it's people like you (and me) I write for, who did not have the most fun childhood but need more humor in their lives. Climb on board - let's laugh! :) Hi Suzen,

Thanks for providing the link - I'll check it out. Oh yeah, I totally agree that Haggis needs love, too. Sometimes I actually feel bad for eating the Peanut Santa - I hope he doesn't feel pain as I'm chewing. ;) I need to get out of my dreamy head - I tend to personify things too much! Take care, George! Hey George,
