Monday Musings

The real reason for the season as I have said before is Santa Claus.  The story of Santa comes from Saint Nicholas who was a 4th-century Greek Christian bishop of Myra.  St. Nick as he was called was known for giving presents to the poor, but here is the real story.  Ole St. Nick led a double life and in his secret life he was a cat burglar.  

In the wee morning hours of December 25^th back in the fourth century, Ole St. Nick was caught filling his sack up with loot by the folks who lived there. The quick thinking naughty Nick told the people that he was bringing them presents and began taking things out of his bag that he had stolen from other neighbors. The people bought in and the myth began.

A few days later as the kids were playing with their new toys with other kids they recognized some of their own stuff and thus began the age old tradition of gift exchanging.

Tired of sitting at the kids table during the Republican debacles, Lindsey (I’ll Have Another Mint Julep) Graham has decided to go home and leave the mudslinging to better mudslingers.  Little Lindsey whose campaign of “Gloom & Doom” never caught on with people who had an I.Q. above 30.

Florida Senaterrible Marco (No-Show) Rubio had this to say last week about the spending bill before it was voted on, “We should use every procedural aspect that we have to slow it down and perhaps force some changes on these things that we’ve been discussing,” then he decided not to even show up and vote against it. Marco lives by the Republican motto: do as I say, not what I do.

When I first saw the headline, “The wrong winner of the Miss Universe Pageant announced”, I was sure they had announced that Miss Mars was the winner instead of someone from earth.




Stay tuned for future adventures.
