Santa In His Cups
If there's a school of fish, a gaggle of geese, and a pod of whales, what would a whole bunch of Santa Clauses be called? It's a question that came to mind yesterday when I saw a news report about a bunch of drunken marauding Santas rioting someplace. Another question that came to mind is how witnesses are expected to identify the individuals involved. "Um, he had a red suit and a white beard, officer?" Don't bother with cookies and milk tonight, kiddies, leave old St. Nick some chardonnay and brie. Or maybe a few brewskis and some beef jerky. Now we know why he's so darn jolly.MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! And thanks for being such great travelling companions on this journey.

Merry Xmas John! I hope Santa finds his way down your chimney tonight. Naughty or nice, we've enjoyed your cartoons and commentary this past year, so for you I'm lifting a glass this night for your next cheery year.
Cheers, Rico

Thanks, y'all. And thanks, Kate, for that link. For those who didn't access it, it's Judy Garland singing "Have Yourself a Merry Litle Christmas," and it's sublime!
For those who don't know the song, it occurs at at a great moment in a great film --Meet Me in St. Louis-- possibly Vincente Minnelli's (Liza's dad) masterpiece, and surely one of Judy's best acting and singing performances. Song by Hugh Martin and Raph Blane.
"Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Let your heart be light
From now on,
our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Make the Yule-tide gay,
From now on,
our troubles will be miles away.
Here we are as in olden days,
happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us
gather near to us once more.
Through the years we all will be together
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now."
