My husband and I have the same argument
every Christmas. My husband hates telling the kids there's a Santa Claus,
while I on the other hand enjoy it. We both agree the real story of
Christmas and Jesus' birth is the one that should get our greatest
attention, so I just have fun with it. One of our 12 year olds thinks he is
totally convinced there is no Santa, until I start telling him my
observations.
- Number One: On every American freeway there is a sign that
shows where reindeer fly by when Santa delivers his presents to all the
good children around the world. Now some people are in denial and say
this is just a "deer crossing" sign but I have observed the
way it is drawn to show the deer are actually in flight. If the city
government officials believe in flying reindeer then who am I to argue?
So if you want to see the reindeer fly by this Christmas, then you need
to stand near one of those signs our good government officials put out
for us and just wait and see. Watch out for falling presents though.
Those big screen tvs can really hurt.
-
- Number Two: I saw for myself at a local taxidermy shop several
reindeer that must've flew way too low last Christmas. Why they were
still stuck in the walls! Those poor things. Guess they either needed
more flying lessons or poor Rudolph's nose went out causing the
collision.
-
- Number Three: Everyone I know who ever left cookies out for
Santa found an empty plate in the morning! So what does that tell you?
Ha...Darwin had nothing on his scientific experiments next to this one!
Over 10 million homes were surveyed and every last one of them had empty
cookie plates after those cookies were left for Santa only! There's just
no way to dispute this!
-
- So there you have it. Besides the fact you see the guy in the mall
every weekend from Thanksgiving to Christmas (but some tell me that's
just his helpers) I think my observations are evidence enough to
convince the greatest doubters among us.
-
- The one thing I can't figure out though is, why are the parents always
stuck with the credit card bills and not Santa?
