MOLESKIN
I am not a Q repeater, but I repeat this one every year. It’s a good time, no matter what sorts of complaints some may have. We hit Hardee’s afterwards. While Jesus is of course the main focus, Santa matters too. Santa is hope, belief, youthfulness, generosity. Certainly second fiddle to Jesus, but don’t discount the values that Saint Nick brings. Your kids may not believe anymore, but they probably believed at some time, and that matters.
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.
