I don’t want to sound like Ebenezer Scrooge, but sometimes all the Christmas hustling and bustling and shopping ’til dropping has me saying, “Bah, humbug!”
However, one of the traditional activities is now much easier — the children’s visit to go see Santa at the mall has been replaced by our city-sponsored drive-thru Santa. It’s brilliant. The police block off a stretch of road, and you drive by a live Nativity and then into a parking lot where Santa opens the door, takes requests from the kids, gives out some candy canes and other goodies, and then sends you off. No pictures, no lines, no malls, no problems. Finally, some real benefits from our hard-earned tax dollars.

It had to be a mom that thought of that idea!
