Cartoon of a boy on Santa Claus’ lap. Boy says, “If I confess stuff, will I get more loot?”
Something about Santa and his throne has always made me uneasy. It felt more like a confession booth to me. I was sure he would penetrate the deep, dark places of my soul and find a reason not to give me that souped up Batmobile!
Cartoon of two women walking. One woman says, “Have you ever tried not to covet when you’re a the mall? It gave me an anxiety attack.”
It’s Black Friday in the United States. It’s the biggest shopping day of the year. I will once again, make a vow to stay away from the mess. My wife had me got out on Black Friday once. She saw an ad for a TV. The problem was the store opened at six in the morning and she told me this at ten. When I arrived at the store, it looked like the aftermath of war. A store clerk laughed at me when I asked they had any more of the TV sets. I’m never going out there on that day again!
Cartoon of a dog and cat. The cat says, “It will be a real Thanksgiving when they start serving tuna.”
Cats never looked like the kind of animal that would like a day of giving thanks. Perhaps they do all their thanking in their sleep.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Cartoon of a woman and a butcher. The butcher says, “The entire family is coming for Thanksgiving. One turkey won’t cut it. How much for ostrich?”
Cartoon of a wife and husband in a kitchen. The wife says, “We’re having a traditional Thanksgiving. Here’s a musket. The turkey is in the backyard.”
It’s Thanksgiving week in the USA. Time to figure out how to get that turkey with all the trimmings. I’ve never shot a turkey, nor have I had the privilege of using a musket. I’m hoping we can find the perfect bird at our neighborhood grocer. It’s much tidier that way.
