He has beenmaking thatlistand yes he is checking it twice to see just who has been naughty and who has been nice. Of course he will have some nice presents for those who have been nice and for those who have been naughty, well there is the lumps of coal. Of course the elections are now over and itseems it was amixfor Washington. In the house there was lots of coal for the republicans. Now the question is howmanyand what presents are the people going to get now that the democrats have control there. Things aren’t so good in the senate. Seems there the presents went to the republicans. The Grinch (Mitch McConnel) has vowed to get more conservative judges appointed. .He may get his chance to further bias thesupreme court against us and women for as I write this a news report indicated that Justice Gingsburg Had a fall in her office and broke 3 ribs. This could mean a lot of coal for Members of the LGBT (especiallythe transgender) and for women. The democrats did campaign on health care so we will have to see what if any presents are given to the people there.. For the Scrooge President Pinocchio (aka Trump) well it does look like Santa did give him some presents, but not sure just what. But from the looks of things in congress, well he will have plenty of coal coming. Some really nice presents have been given to us in Masachusetts as the attempt to overturn the law that allows us to use the restroom that matches our gender got defeated. This can be some reallygood news for us as perhaps it willmake it harder for the anti LGBT to get similar bills passed in otherstates where we have been given equality. In Colorado theyhave elected a gayman to be the governor. Iwonder ifthere will be coal there for the baker who does not want to make wedding cakes for same sex couples or for transgender people. Some presents also wentto the LGBTin thatKim Davis,the clerk who wentto jail for refusing to issue a marriage license to a same sex couple lost her bid for re-election In Vermont it seems that Santa has brought coal to Christine Hallquist the transgender candidate for governor as she did not win her election. A Late report shows that Krysten Sinema Has won the Arizona Senate seat. A democrat and member of the LGBT community. Santa seemed to be very nice with the women who ran for office, and many of them did make historyas being the first. But too Santa was sort of nice to the LGBT with the Rainbow wave. Oh what will that poor little boyin the Oval Office do with so manyLGBT Members in both the house and senate. 5 Yes, Virginia ... There is a Santa Claus Editorial of The NewYork Sun | We take pleasure in answering thus prominently the communication below, expressing at the same time our great gratification that its faithful author is numbered among the friends of The Sun: Dear Editor— I am 8 years old. Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says, "If y ou see it in The Sun, it's so." Please tell me the truth, is there a Santa Claus? Virginia O'Hanlon 115 West Ninety Fifth Street Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They donot believe except they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men's or children's, are little. In this great universe of ours, man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge. Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and dev otion exist, and you know that they abound and give toy our life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary as if there were noVirginias. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance tomake tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The external light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished. Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies. You might get y our papa to hire men towatch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if y ou did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Didy ou ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that's no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all thewonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world. You tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived could tear apart. Only faith, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding. No Santa Claus! Thank God! He lives and lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay 10 times 10,000 years from now, he will continue tomake glad the heart of childhood. 6 A WOMAN'S VERSION OF THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS Twas the night before Christmas and all through the kitchen; I was cooking and baking and moanin' and bitchin'. I've been here for hours, I can't stop to rest. This room's a disaster, just look at this mess! Tomorrow I've got thirty people to feed. They expect all the trimmings. Who cares what I need! My feet are both blistered, I've got cramps in my legs. The cat just knocked over a bowl full of eggs. There's a knock at the door and the telephone's ringing. Frosting drips on the counter as the microwave's dinging. Two pies in the oven, dessert's almost done; My cookbook is soiled with butter and crumbs. I've had all I can stand, I can't take anymore; Then in walks my husband, spilling rum on the floor. He weaves and he wobbles, his balance unsteady; then grins as he chuckles "The egg nog is ready!" He looks all around and with total regret, says, "What's taking so long....aren't you through in here yet?" As quick as a flash I reach for a knife; He loses an earlobe; I wanted his life! He flees from the room in terror and pain and screams, "MY GOD WOMAN, YOU'RE GOING INSANE!!" Now what was I doing, and what is that smell? Oh darn it's the pies! They're burned all to hell! I hate to admit when I make a mistake, but I put them on BROIL instead of on BAKE. What else can go wrong? Is there still more ahead? If this is good living, I'd rather be dead. Lord, don't get me wrong, I love holidays; It just leaves me exhausted, all shaky and dazed. But I promise you one thing, If I live 'til next year, You won't find me pulling my hair out in here. I'll hire a maid, a cook, and a waiter; and if that doesn't work, I'LL HAVE IT ALL CATERED! HAPPY HOLIDAYS !!!! 7 Jazz Jennings Says She Had A ‘Complication’ During Her Gender Confirmation Surgery By Korin Miller "There's nothing else after this.
