Santa even put his best elves on it -- and they still came up as blank as a fresh piece of paper.

Photo finish Friday: “A bit deflated”

Christmas is over, the presents are delivered, and Santa and his reindeer are exhausted and needing a little help to get in the air for that final trip home.

Sunday silliness: “They’re back!”

Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Woodstock, and friends blow in for the holiday season.

And they brought a friend and some fun.

And they brought a friend and some fun.

Just when you think it is safe to go outside, to enjoy the season, to appreciate the outdoor decorations … you come across this!

Keep you distance … for if you dare and cross through the candy cane arch you will enter a world of both of silliness and air, strange lights and odd shapes, dark corners and strange surprises. You will have just crossed over … into the Holiday Zone.

Monday morning writing joke: “Willing Suspension”

Q. What is the difference between Santa Claus and a work of fiction?

A. Nothing. Both offer rewards for a willing suspension of disbelief.

Holiday Reprise: “Santa’s Setback”

This is a note to tell you
that Wall Street has taken away
the things I really needed:
my workshop, my reindeer, my sleigh.

I now make my rounds on a jackass;
he’s old and crippled and slow.
So, if you don’t see me come Christmas,
I’ll be out on my ass in the snow.

Santa on a jackass

Santa mounts a new challenge.


[Editor’s note: original appeared in Dec. 2012, but brought back because it still applies. And because I can.]
