The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for December 24, 2020

Santa can’t fail . And little Jesus neither : in my Italian childhood He was the one who brought gifts to good children .

He won’t bring you the gift you really need Hattie-a one way trip to a reform school!

Does Shannon from Luann have a side job?

It’s never a good idea to “mess” with Father Christmas!! You might end up with a visit from KRAMPUS!!

I agree with her, but I still ended up having to buy my own pony. Only by then my pony was technically a horse. ;)

Then don’t leave out milk and cookies. Give Santa what he really wants. A sandwich and a beer. That was the tradition in my wife’s family and she has never expressed disappointment in her Christmas gift when she was a little girl.

When my daughter was about 5 years old, she made out her Christmas list, then gave the list to her mom, saying, “Here’s my Christmas order.”

Don’t know if I ever got what I asked for? That’s why I hope Santa brings me a winning lottery ticket. I’ll be able to do my own shopping.

It is shame that some people only think about getting gifts on Christmas.

Isn’t she a little charmer?

He may not get your whole list right but he usually gets you some of the things you asked for…..

IMNSHO, Christmas is for kids. And for parents experiencing their kids experiencing Christmas…

You’re lucky to get anything at all, even coal is too good for you.

Shannon will mellow a little and become Hattie. Different comic strips have different time lines. In a combo of comic strip and real life, Lucy Van Pelt grew up to be Joanne Worley.

Maybe Santa will bring Hattie a more modern chapeau

This year Hattie plans on being proactive in order to get her fair share from Santa.

Hattie is so hateful…she deserves a lump of coal.

I think Calvin is far worse than Hattie for greed. I could see the two of them getting married some day. Hopefully, Hobbes would chase Hattie away, though.

SNORK!!!
