Santa’s Rant
You want to know what takes so long each year or all the things which must be factored in from circumnavigation of this sphere to bag logistics; where do I begin? It used to take an hour, maybe two with just a single pit-stop for reindeer but now my elves say thirty just won’t do and I will have to change them out each year. Your millions turned to billions and the greed begins some time in August or July when things come rolling out you want or need. My wife just says be jolly and don’t cry. From games and guns to clothes or brand new phones; I’m thinking of investing in some drones. ·······  ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

Hahahaha Larry!
    Your thoughts and mine are very similar. YES, Home Depot and Walmart had already put out aisles upon aisles of holiday 'stuff' back in September. I mean REALLY? Can't we work on Halloween first?  Anyway, I enjoyed the perspective of Santa and how he must change his thinking in this 'new age'. DRONE OUT.  Happy holidays! ~Cleo
