approaching! Things have changed since I wasa kid. Santa’s a wreck trying to live in a worldthat’s politically correct.

The run-ners on Santa’s sleigh were removed becausethe ruts were deemed too dangerous by theEPA. No candy or sweets…they are bad forthe teeth. No baseball, no Football…some mightget hurt, besides, playing sports exposed kidsto dirt. Dolls are said to be sexist and should bepassé. Nintendo will rot your entire brain awayand don’t get me started on toy guns! Santadoesn’t know what gift to give without anger-ing the left or the right. Finally a gift that wouldsatisfy each group of people in every religion,every race, every hue. Everyone,everywhere…even you!
