Not On Santa's List Anymore

I grew up knowing that Christmas was for boys and girls. It was obvious that Christmas holidays brought joy. Well like most I was young then. As I got older, religion stared pushing out the simple pagan joys of toys, and excitement of the fat guy in a red suit with a bag slung over his shoulders. Somehow Santa took a knock out punch by the Christian concepts. The Christians just outright high jacked the magic and gave it to the glory of God.

But then all religions then jumped in around 1970 and wanted no part of Christmas sprit that is associated to the tree, with tinsel frosting, blinking lights, decorated glass balls, and gifts under the tree for every girl and boy that would run at break neck speed to see what Santa gave them for being good.

You might say that today many men and women are now deprived, grumpy, and sad know thing that the good global spirit of Christmas that brought everyone together during the Cold War, World War One in the trenches , and the lost illustrated pictures of all children seeing Santa zoom off leaving them toys has be Block out. The global bonding and belief of all children and parents as good people is long gone.

I don't know exactly who made it the way. I figure that they are a very powerful group of people kind of like Mr. Ebenezer Scrooge and the Grinch.

One thing for sure, this man can not find Santa, and not even over the internet to ring Amazon or the famous B&H for camera bits.

I guess Santa is not coming due to the high risk of something we all here about in the news. The Flight Zone is off limits". Well I guess a cigarette will have to do.

I can still here Saint Nick in the back of my mind that is still attached to my youth saying, "Merry Christmas to all in spirit and to all a good night."

My simple prayer to God is that One day I wish that Christmas is given back to all from the kindness of his heart. Let Santa Ride.

    Today, Christmas is a celebration of gifts.
    Where is the Christmas of peace? Gifts are not important. Christmas can only be good if people closer together and want to see the love for each other and more important.
    For me, Christmas is when I'm with my loved ones. Time had with them.
    I wish you a Merry Christmas .... Ilona

    Sadly and strong... Your words are touching the heart...
    Yes, we are trying to find the shelter in our dreams and memories about sweet holidays but... sometimes life is showing it real face without pink and sweet mask.
    Any way have a good time during those days and take care!
    Regards
