The Revolutionary War

I don’t know much about the American Revolutionary War.  Yesterday I found myself entertaining a funny thought which was, “What in the hell kind of daughter of the American Revolution am I anyway?”


I actually have seven (oh wow, I meant to say several and instead seven came out of my mouth or head rather) revolutionary war patriot ancestors.  They are all my mother’s ancestors.  I have no patriot ancestors from my father’s side of the family.

So what is a poor Santa Claus to do without a pipe?  I don’t know.  Maybe replace it with a candy cane. #candyisdandy Okay, I was wrong.  I guess for the sake of tradition and a traditional story, Santa is still sometimes shown with a pipe, at least in this Dollar Tree version of  “Twas The Night Before Christmas”.  It’s a really stupid looking pipe though.  Maybe

Halloween Town

It’s not yet Valentine’s Day but I find myself thinking of Tim Burton’s “The Nightmare Before Christmas”.  I can imagine a Halloween Town with real non animated characters.  😂 A delighted little witch from Halloween Town. 😀 🧙‍♀️ 🧡🖤🧡🖤  Trivia fact: “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” was the first fully animated feature film that was released by Walt Disney Productions in 1937. A Halloween Town barber. A Halloween Town plumber. Teachers from Halloween Town. A Halloween Town doctor.  Halloween Town firefighters. A Halloween Town auto mechanic. Halloween Town Trick or Treaters. A Halloween Town tavern keeper.  Halloween Town priests.
