“There’s Another Santa Claus” and “There’s A Santa Who Looks A Lot Like Elvis”, by Bob Rivers.

Love the matching hairbow on the outside of her hat!

“My aunt”? Does Nancy have a different aunt that Sluggo doesn’t know? Or are Sluggo and Fritzi only on a pronoun basis?

There’s another Santa Claus, there’s another Santa Claus, there’s another Santa Claus there… http://tinyurl.com/mmrfcb7

I recall a letter a father wrote to the newspaper which printed it. He complained that there were two Santa Clauses in a parade, so his son figured out that there wasn’t a real Santa Claus. The father’s complaint was that he wanted to keep the spirit of Santa alive for his son for a few more years and that there should have been just one Santa in the parade.

We have one Baby Jesus in our neighborhood, and the family who put it out has several children. No Santa Clauses but a beautiful Nativity decorate their tiny front lawn.

But we celebrate the birth of our Lord on Dec 25th.

And the publicist had better be good or no presents on Christmas.

It seems like no one cared for at least 100 years what day Christ was born, so now there are so many theories that the guesses include practically every month of the year. Debate all one wants, but the shepherds had nothing to write the date on, so they branded the date on the sheep. Then the wolves and coyotes came and killed and ate all the sheep so the real date of Christ’s birth was digested long ago.

We’re Jewish, so I guess we’re Grinches. But my born-again Christian neighbor with no decorations, who knew she was a Grinch, too?

Interesting that you capitalized Grinch but not Jesus.
