Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for May 20, 2024

Where can you see Santa before Thanksgiving?

Would a red polyester suit work better?

Yeah, they know you’re still watching their kids.

Especially in June!

There is a season for everything. This is not the season for Santa.

Well, every dog has his day. Yours happens to be December 25.

If there is only twelve days of Christmas, how come it lasts from October to mid January?

“Save your complaints for someone who cares. The Easter Bunny’ll be here in about 10 minutes.”

If you love Christmas, there is this island I know about ……

There’s a guy in my area who works as a Santa in season. Has his own beard and really looks the part, and his wife dresses up too. He has a personalized license plate that says NICELIST.

2023 was my rookie year as a Santa. Keeping the beard. I love it when even now in the store some children look, and you can tell they’re thinking, “Is he …?”

Pre-decorated Christmas trees showed up in big box stores in late Sept. Seasonal music played at low volume until October. By the time Christmas arrived, very few cared about it at all. Even the kids were tired of seeing them.

They’ll never leave with a ‘closed’ door . . . ;-)

Not untrue. Especially in June.

Nice pictures on the wall!

This year Balsam Hill started running Christmas tree ads in April.

I always thought that Santa thing was a bad idea. Then I worked in a mall and saw one behind the scenes, and I KNEW it was a bad idea!

It is good to see a man willing to swaddle himself in velvet

He does look like Billy Bob Thornton

Give it a few more months, Santa, and you’ll be popular again.

And he shook when he laughed like a bowl full of jello shots.

Try NOT wearing red VELVET in warm / hot weather, weirdo.

With shopping segments on Morning TV almost every day of the week 12 months a year what’s your problem Santa ???

Seems a bit hot these days for that garb, Santa.

Love the pictures on the wall…… different from the usual blanks!

I bet his ho ho ho keeps him happy!

The red nose isn’t going to help.

The funny old guy in the red suit is paid by the store that supplies the chair and all the decorations, as well as being surrounded by umpteen families waiting to have a go; can’t see there’s much problem there. But if he’s walking around in summer heat, then I would steer clear – but wait, what if it were a woman wearing that clobber .. ? Now that WOULD be weird.

Seasonal employment is always a downer.

Rough off season at North Pole, Nick?
