Poof!  There it goes.  The 4th year in the life of Cordarounds, and more than 10000 fathoms of horizontal corduroy now span the globe. Yes, on today, December 23rd, we have plenty to be thankful for, but the greatest blessing is our children.

Our eldest, Lazenby, slew the despicable St. Nick (scroll below to read), and will now deliver gifts of plenty to children and women around the world this Wednesday night.   Be sure to sing his official carol when he visits, and you'll get something extra special in your stocking(s).

Meanwhile, did you know that our riverboat gambler, Beauregard Delacroix bested the steam-driven poker robot, then went on to defeat Texas Hold 'em Super Computer, Deep Bluff?

And what about Wellington Stack, the adventurer of the family?  After testing our trousers' ability to withstand the gut-expanding rigors of Thanksgiving dinner, he woke to gobble down a stack of pancakes shaped like a pair of upright Cordarounds!  A caloric feat that didn't go unnoticed by the Pied Piper of Booze, who casually donned his reversible smoking jacket and set off on a quest to consume San Francisco's remaining stocks of Bacon and Eggnog.

Our youngest, Bosco Breedlove, joined the famed Hanover Commando Unit, yet the rookie toddler has been unsuccessful in his campaign to promote diaperless wearing of Babyrounds.

Buck Kentucky is still wanted by Interpol. Our lovable fashion prognosticating pet, Frisco Frank, recently raised Cain in San Francisco harbor, mauling all in sight who weren't wearing Cordarounds.   That bloodthirsty scamp!
