Just some random thoughts the me and Oliver have about Christmas. Oliver by the way is getting very spoiled at Christmas, just don't tell him I want it to be a surprise!
Anyway back to randomness. If there isn't a Santa Claus, I want to know just who was it that ate all those cookies, milk and carrots (for the reindeer) that I left out all those years?
And if you didn't have a chimney, how did Santa get in to leave all those presents and full stockings that weren't there the night before? My mom, bless her heart, told me she left the front door open for him to come in. Remember that was back in the day that you could actually do that without being axed murdered in your sleep.
And all those Santa's in the stores, again back when there were no malls. My Mom pulled yet another rabbit out of the hat, and told me that Santa was way to busy up at the North Pole making lists and such that these were actually elves standing him for him. And you know you have to believe her, because Mom's never lied!
And then when Christmas morning finally arrived, you were so excited that you have been up somewhere between midnight and 6:00am. My poor parents were tell me to get back to bed otherwise Santa wouldn't come. I think by 7:00 they let me get up and look at the unwrapped toys under the tree that Santa had left for me, again coming in by that unlocked front door. And then we had to go to church and if you went to church on Christmas you had to receive Communion, so you couldn't eat breakfast before. Once you got home you had to have breakfast, clean up, all while x-ray starring at the presents. Good thing there were no Social Services back then, that was clearing some sort of child abuse.
So my friends Oliver and I wish you a Merry Christmas and remember there will always be a Santa Claus, just how he gets into houses with no chimney these days is a mystery. But somehow he does.
