Holiday Rush

I saw an object way-up high -- analysis, no UFO no drone, told my supervisor, no need for the military red-phone. Again: I saw a sled way up-high -- and knew only one had clearance to fly, so, as an air-traffic-controller, forewarned, I had to quickly adjust, reindeer’s not equipped with jet avoidance thrust -- No take offs! No landings! grounded, planes forced to stand-by, but one impatient pilot on his own, decided to give it a try well, rained down stuffed bears and little Timmy's toy boat; reminded were all that only Macy Santa's float -- Clause landed in a a nearby barnyard, still wearing his splattered signature coat, tearfully clutching antlers, startled the 'jeebies out of a pair of mating goat' --

Told to me by an old Billy years ago. Could not get the image out of my mind. Yet, though more alert, have not always gone indoors. Thank you, Andrea. Hope you're having a wonderful holiday.

Enjoyed your tale, Joe. I don't really believe in UFO's. Merry Christmas.

I agree. Our president, Joe Biden said, they are identified, but we just know what they are.... VP Harris says, in her mind, there is no measure of obscurity, without a measured response to the unidentified we all share no matter the clarified object. Thank you, Victor. Have a great Christmas my friend!

You got me there, Kim; I imagine Batman would not fly without some strings attached. And a sizable check. Now America has to find a way to pay for all our gifts. Have a great Christmas. Blessings.

Joseph I agree with you a 100%. Jesus is the reason for the Season. John McArthur did a great sermon on Christmas and he addressed this same topic of your comment, if you get a chance watch it on Youtube. He talks about Santa Claus taking the focus of Christ to Santa and that he is a fictitious character. Big thumbs for your comment my friend...

Hi Mike; thank you. Happy the read gave you a chuckle. Really don't know why I wrote this, nor how could I write such a thing? When I grew up in New York, the Macy's Seasonal' pageant was something special. I tried watching it on TV the other day. Just my humble opinion, it was crap. Did not see one reference to Christ: the music, seemed to me, vulgar (in my opinion) -- the costumes and dancers were vulgar (in my uneducated opinion)~ guess I am a Dinosaur. Merry Christmas should get back to Christ. Should be less a worship of Santa. We can give gifts and share everyday of the year...without Christ it will do little good. Just my opinion.
