Kerstmis Fatato, Santa’s Chief Elf, has confirmed that Santa and his empty sleigh safely touched down at the North Pole at 2:00 a.m. local time on December 25. Santa was greeted by an elated Mrs. Claus who took him home for a mug of hot cocoa (with marshmallows) before tucking him in for a long winter’s nap. Merry Christmas Folks, From My Family To Yours.
NORAD has confirmed that Santa and his fully-loaded, reindeer-powered sleigh took off from the North Pole and soared into the Arctic sky at 6:00 a.m. EST (5:00 a.m. CST, 4:00 a.m. MST, 3:00 a.m. PST). NORAD radar is tracking Rudolph’s bright red nose, and satellite imagery is providing minute-by-minute coverage of Santa’s location.
I like to post this every year. ENJOY!!
“DEAR EDITOR: I am 8 years old.
“Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus.
“Papa says, ‘If you see it in THE SUN it’s so.’
“Please tell me the truth; is there a Santa Claus?
“VIRGINIA O’HANLON.
“115 WEST NINETY-FIFTH STREET.”
VIRGINIA, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except [what] they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men’s or children’s, are little. In this great universe of ours man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge.
Yes, VIRGINIA, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus. It would be as dreary as if there were no VIRGINIAS. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished.
Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies! You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that’s no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world.
You may tear apart the baby’s rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, VIRGINIA, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding.
No Santa Claus! Thank God! he lives, and he lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.
Well Christmas is finally upon us. Just wanted to thank all those that have taken the time to drop by, Email, write and call me through out the year.

We are home for Christmas this year and family is heading our way. So………………Merry Christmas everyone and yes, I really do mean “Merry Christmas,” not just happy holidays or happy winter break, etc. Click On Image To Enlarge, Just For You.
You know there probably is a lot of you folks out there that think I am maybe over exaggerating a touch, when it comes to what is happening in this world today. Well I suppose I can get up tight on a few things, but the reason in doing this is that when I see something that just doesn’t seem right, I feel that I should let you know my opinion on what I think of them. Thing you have to remember, is that all I am trying to do is give you the other side of the coin. Now a days folks seem to pretty well believe that everything the Powers That Be tells you is the truth, when it isn’t. No one is perfect including myself, lots are just trying to make an extra dollar, lots are pretending to know when they really don’t. Now take the doctors here in Canada. Say where they come from. I would say most is of the doctors now in Canada are of an Asian back ground that we are allowing to practice in our country. I for one don’t see why we aren’t getting an equal amount from other countries. Say like Italy, Germany, USA, France, England, Australia, well you get my meaning, there are lots more I am sure. The Powers That Be would like you to believe that these other countries aren’t looking to move here to Canada. That is totally wrong, as I know for a fact of what is really happening. I have talked to numerous doctors, specialists of all kinds and they all have said they have been waiting so long for the Canadian government to get back to them that they have all but gave up hope. One lady dropped by this year a renown heart specialist from Germany. She said she has been on the waiting list now for over five years and would just love to come here to set up shop. Not going to happen she said, as it is all in who you are if you are wanting to move to Canada. I believe what she is saying to be true too. So you see, that is why I get to talking like I do so often on certain topics, as if someone doesn’t get the other side of the story out there, folks just figure everything is ok when it isn’t, or could be better. Had better go, got a fresh perked coffee waiting to be tasted, I have had my say for the day. My Opinion Only
