….only time will tell….

Well…

disappointment in the stockings is COMING!

Trump should talk to the coal miners on this one. STEP UP PRODUCTION!!

Katy’s got the eyes that make you talk!

This was the time for Santa to explain that live animals are a huge responsibility and expense for ongoing care, and that Katy is not old enough to support a pony and how it would not be fair to saddle the responsibility (no pun intended) on her parents. And then he should offer to bring her a My Little Pony figurine.

I am terribly afraid that Katie run for President when she grows up

And win

The only sure way to get a pony is to buy a horse. Santa is on the hook for wishes but Dad is on the hook for reality. Sorry kid, ‘My Little Pony’ is in your future.

We better see her reaction on Christmas Day when there’s no pony.But I do wish that Santa had a counter-argument against giving ponies, to shut Katie up.

Or, you could just man up, Adam, and explain to a child who is old enough to have figured out for herself the fraud of the Santa idea. I mean, come on, my kids figured it out at about age 3; they said “is Santa real?” and I said, “think of the story of what he does. Does it sound like it could be true?” and it dawned on them. . . .DUH.

Sign her up for riding lessons that also come with caring for the horse lessons and mucking out the stable lessons.

I’m curious…at what age does it dawn on kids that Santa isn’t real and a story?We had no children and I’d never say mum to any kid of Santa being fake.

Adam: [Stinkeye]

Santa: [Shrug]

I would have just told her that the ponies hated being dropped down the chimneys…

Thank you, Adam, um, I mean, Rob. I sure enjoy your comic strip. Enjoy a Blessed Christmas.

These are fun to see.
