Santa Bonuses
Cartoon of a boy and a letter carrier at the post office. The boy says, “It’s a letter to Santa. My hopes and fears of all the years are mailed with thee tonight.”
The other day, National Public Radio in the United States had a report on the tough economy and letters to Santa Claus. It broke my heart to hear how some families are struggling this year. I thought of the kids who were looking for hope for the new year.
It made me thing of the Christmas carol, “O Little Town of Bethlehem.” The last part of the first verse spoke to me.
I drew this for Illustration Friday. This week’s word is “mail.”
Reality Goes North
Cartoon of an elf and Santa Claus. The elf says, “It’s another cable TV producer asking if we’d like to be in a reality show.”
I’m not sure I’d want to see elves going at each other because of deplorable working conditions, but it would make interesting TV nonetheless. It could be called “Santa’s Sweatshop” or “North Pole Goes South.” Oh the sordid details that would emerge!
