Great fun piece Anne-Lise, indeed the changes that this day would bring to Santa. Hope you're well up north, it's getting really cold here. Blessings always,Gordon

Out with the old and in with the new. I suppose the new version of Santa will use Amazon or Fed Ex to deliver. ha ha. Great fun to read, Anne-Lise.

He'll be back, though underground, when the government mandates that they alone can give gifts and receive. Busted for leaving out a plate of cookies. Blessings my friend.

Oh, No! Poor old Santa is gone, however, your beautiful writing lessens the pain. Be blessed, dearest, Anne-Lise! Hugs xxx

Yup. The way of the world... Adjust or get left behind in the dust. (This one kind of hurts though).

Sad but true Anne, people don't even have to leave the house to give a gift. The modern way I suppose, same with Christmas cards, people now send an email or a text. Tom

- No, sit at home in your favorite chair - I made 35-40 Christmas cards every year ... this year I haven't made any ... it was one thing I always looked forward to doing ... yeah that's sad Tom - hugs

So true, but very, very sad, I think. Thanks for calling our attention to this direction gift-giving is taking. I'd say you are spot-on.
