The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for December 10, 2022

I would have guessed kids TEXTED their lists nowadays

Greed always outs.

“I believe in Father Christmas” is a Greg Lake’ song. And he cannot be wrong.

Sounds like a lot of christians, and other religions to me. Just sayin…no offense

They say that there are no atheists in a foxhole.

I guess there is a similar corollary with Santa.

Canada has a great postal code (ZIP code) system. Letter number letter number letter number. It is so accurate that if you only put a name and the postal code on your envelope it would get to the right destination. Every year Canadian kids simply address their letter to…

Santa

I have a couple of grands in this category

Hedging your bet means you already lost one bet. You’re betting against yourself.

Here is where I would write my annual sermon about the evils of the commercialized and secularized christmas season…the true gifts of G-d’s Son, born to redeem mankind are peace [not absence of war but the peace that passes understanding in heart mind and spirit], hope, love and salvation. Santa Claus and “I want…” lists have nothing to do with what the season should mean.

Better safe than sorry.

from who, yourself? :\

wait, what does hedging mean? :\

Hurricane Hattie just making sure her bases are covered. Messrs. Sansom pegged me at her age with that. Old enough to know better but young and naive enough to still hope.

Workin’ the system while it works.

I sent mine wish list letter off in November. Give Santa extra time. One request only. Can’t say what but clues are: Green and in God we trust.

Hattie is wasting her time. She’s on the top of the naughty list.

Always find a way to hedge your bet!

P.S. Don’t forget to leave a copy with Mom and Dad in case Santa’s copy gets lost in the mail…

Pascal’s wager, basically

She still doesn’t, but she has a strong belief in getting presents.

Sneaking out to mail a letter to Santa. Right. That explains why she is out in the snow wearing her night cap and pajamas.

Just another Merican Christmas. Now let’s all go sit around the video of a fire place on the 72" flat screen and sing Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer. Then we can sing Have Yourself A Scary Little Christmas from Tales From The Crypt’s.

With her reputation, Hattie can’t afford to take any chances.

my letters to santa were regularly returned marked return to sender…
