Santa Claus: good role model?
Lee Murray
What about Santa Claus? Works all year, well he has some helpers
including the Mrs. Claus, but anyway, gives away everything.
What about that? Gives the product of his labor to children mostly,
to be more specific.
For generosity, the Santa man is a pretty high achiever. But how
does he do it?
Is this guy an anarchist? I don't think he has to pay taxes or
insurance at the N.P. That's how he can afford to be so generous.
Of course, Santa Claus does get a lot of cookies and milk on his
rounds, too, which helps keep the reindeers fired up but can't
possibly be enough to feed all those elves. You never hear what
the elves eat up there at the N.Pole unless it would be peppermint
sticks.
Are Santa and Mrs. Claus actually married or shacking up?
I never heard of any children.
The guy dresses well, for the north. He sets a good examplein
being all bundled up against the cool air. He eases in through the
chimney, ignoring the locked door. Maybe this sets a good example
of perseverance and initiative, skills that are needed in todays
dog-eat-dog dizneyworld. AFter all its all for a good cause, to
make the little folks happy.
Which reminds me. There are alot of Canadian youth on the street
and into bad things because, what else is there? If we want to look
at it this way, the baby-boom generation had the best breaks of
any generation in history, and now we are taking it all away from
our own kids. If we look at it that way it's kind of odd what's
going on.
Anyway we better do something for our youths in this country to
give them some kind of hope or belief in the value of life. I believe
that each one of us can do something in our own ways, as we
interact in our communities, to see that our youths get some
chances and support.
This student loan thing is a serious crime against our youths.
So let's all be a little like Santa Claus this year and deliver
a few presents towards the youth support as we go along our
merry way with bells ajingling.
a happier new year
