Peanuts by Charles Schulz for December 21, 2017

Careful, Sally. Those storms tend to bite back.

I knew there was no truth to the Santa legend when my older brother got gifts for Christmas instead of the coal he deserved.

Someone is aching for some coal.

Sally has an instinctive grasp of the scientific method.

Bring her her coal!!!.

Santa is very busy right now. His mail has been diverted to the Great Pumpkin. Sally will get lumps of coal next Halloween when she goes trick or treating.

Interesting coincidence with the classic Calvin and Hobbes series running right now. Calvin is worried about the consequences of having doubted Santa.

Next thing, Sally’s going to be saying that only little people pay taxes

Sally is very good at stirring things up! My MIL was a pro at it.

Sally is a smart cookie. She knows from experience that she gets presents every year without fail. Any child who puts a little thought into it will realize that, Santa rarely brings gifts his parents don’t want him to have, Santa gives more expensive toys to the children whose parents are rich, often times wellbehaved kids get little or nothing, and often times poorly behaved kids get the most coveted toys.

Smart Girl.

And if she were old enough at the time, she would have burned her training bra.

She’s got beautiful writing. She does her Y’s like I do. Curly at the bottom. But sometimes I just do “normal” ones.

Damn the torpedoes Sally, full speed ahead. Santa, doesn’t have time to figure out if you’re good or bad, he’s gracious just like The Lord and offers you a gift anyway.
