The Right Attitudes
It is good in life to be open to having the right or best attitudes about things. It is very possible that we can learn new things that we previously didn’t know or understand that can very much change our opinions and attitudes.
North Pole Smoking Controversy
I found myself recalling that the Santa Claus of years gone by smoked a pipe. It was even described in the book, Twas The Night Before Christmas. “The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth. And the smoke it encircled his head like wreath.” It’s amazing how times can change. Nowadays, a smoking Santa would never be part of a children’s book. I don’t know if any other human beings in history have ever had the experience of seeing the world change so much, and in so many ways, over a few decades of their lives. I doubt it. What a pivotal time in human history have those of us living now found ourselves born into. 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
