For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
Isaiah 9:6-7
I can so vividly remember being in such a panic as a child wondering how Santa was going to get in with a fire in the fireplace and my parents telling me the fire would be long out before he came. I don’t think I ever barged into the livingroom with a fire extinguisher in my hands though. I couldn’t have, I’m still among the living.
A very merry Christmas to all of you! May your day be blessed with peace and loved ones.
Change the spelling of santa and the fire is not so hard to deal with. There are some who believe that Christ was really born on Sept 11. Interesting concept.
♥Little Sister♥ How do you do the formatting? I have tried several ways, including copy & paste - and nothing has worked for me.
By the way, here where I live, the city and the firefighter’s union are battling over a new contract and, coincidentally, the fire dept. decided it wouldn’t be safe for Santa to ride in a fire truck this year (in the annual parade). So Santa rode in the sheriff’s SWAT truck….giving rise to a columnist’s comment that the kids might think Santa will be coming though the front door with a battering ram.
My sones are grown up and each one lives in his own household, we don’t see each other very often, so I am always glad to be together with them on Christmas Eve.
Calvin, I wouldn’t worry too much. With the amount of coal that YOU are getting, those fires are going to last a LONG TIME, especially if he just keeps dropping it down the chimney a lump at a time!
As a 6 year old we were transferred to California in late November and got a house with no chimney. As I recall it I was not at all confident that Christmas as not only did Santa have to FIND our new home but then how would he get in!? Thankfully for the earlier me, he did - LOVE YOU MOM&DAD!
Merry Christmas and God’s Blessings to all whether you deserve it or not (and that includes your’s truly!)
Yumm! Santa Flambe with plum pudding sauce! Just kidding, Calvin. Merry Christmas Calvin and Hobbes, peace and good health to all my fellow commenters. Happy Birthday, Jesus!
One Xmas eve I climbed on the roof of our log house on the farm and made tracks in the fresh snow.
I tell you our 5 little kids were all believers on Xmas morning .
Calvin could use some of this.
growing up in another country (SE Asia area), we saw Santa arrive on a Honda Trailbike, jump from a Cessna (and fall into the roof of the print-shop), emerge from a stack of firewood which was on the back of a dump-truck, etc. So I was never sure how Santa was going to find us - since we lived 150 miles away in the mountains!
Merry Christmas to everyone. May you be filled with Peace, Joy, and Grace!
Oh, But, Calvin forgot that Santa is a Nascar Member/driver and always wears a fireretardent suit. He’s quick with the in and out, fer sure, to get all the world done in one night!
And whatever you do, keep the seven hundred something dogs that live next door out of your kitchen tomorrow and don’t let your kid shoot his eye out!!!!!

OTOH, one to five #s at the beginning of the line make it larger, among other effects:

The fire is there to warm the chimney for Santa; he appreciates this gesture on his cold winter journey.
