Gordon Mcconnell Date: 12/6/2022 12:21:00 PM 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 Login to Reply

Jenna Logan Date: 12/6/2022 7:29:00 AM 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. Login to Reply

Joe Dimino Date: 12/6/2022 6:58:00 AM 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. Login to Reply

Phyllis Babcock Date: 12/5/2022 1:05:00 PM Ha ha ha that sounds so true these days. Things have changed.

Ilene Bauer Date: 12/5/2022 1:00:00 PM ha! so true, anne-lise! the whole spirit of the holidays has changed, and not for the better! Login to Reply Anne-Lise Andresen Date: 12/5/2022 1:05:00 PM - You're absolutely right, Ilene :) - hugs

Tom Cunningham Date: 12/5/2022 11:57:00 AM 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 Login to Reply Anne-Lise Andresen Date: 12/5/2022 12:06:00 PM - 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

L Milton Hankins Date: 12/5/2022 10:55:00 AM 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.
