Santa And His Trip

Santa's Riding The Skies

Sleigh bells ring and Santa rides the skies. Just like last year. 
But, last year he ran into a bit of controversy.  Yes he did.  Just as he flew into the skies of Turkey and Iraq.

When the leaders of Turkey were young they believed in Santa and he was welcomed with open arms, but now these same kids grew up and didn't believe because they are old and mean and they sure didn't want him around.  But, he said to himself....."I had enough Turkey at Thanksgiving this year" so he really didn't want to stop in Turkey this year.   Iraq was the least desirable country to pull into and stop his sleigh.  After all, he'd been shot at many times as he flew over parts of the Middle East and especially Turkey and the no fly areas of Iraq.  This was dangerous stuff let me tell you.  Some kids in Iraq believe in him and call him Baba Noel but apparently their daddies don't believe and don't want him flying the skies of Iraq central.   They hate anyone who looks like he may be from the United States and Santa does look like that.   At least last year, that's the way it was.

In view of all of these factors, Santa pulled over beside the Country line to think about what to do.  He could leave presents on the Country line and hope that the kiddies of this country got them, but that wouldn't work.  No he's sure some punk will take them and sell them for a profit.  I guess there is only one sure way .... and that is to go into Iraq as much as he doesn't want to.

Santa's glad he's doing this Iraq delivery earlier than all the rest of the world.   Early means he can get done and if anything happens....like taking his magic red sack which spews forth the gifts, at least he could get home to the north pole and get a new sack or two and maybe replenish his strength and perseverance.

So he pulls up the reins and hollers at the reindeer....let's go boys....off to the wild blue yonder of Iraq.  Now Dancer, Now Prancer and Vixen.  On Comet, On Cupid, on Donner and Blitzen.  They mounted to the sky and before long he landed on the roof of the Iraqi compound of the the local big shot...might as go big on the first delivery.  But it was a mistake....the big guns came out.....and Santa and his eight tiny reindeer had to make a run for it....back to the sky.

And as he drove out of sight, Santa was mad, so he hollered ----
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night and may your wells test of camel urine and may all of your camels die of HIV.....

Guess he showed them who was boss.  This is a lesson, do not make Santa mad when he lands on your roof in America or any other country!!!

Old Stuff

 

 

Some little girl once got this doll for

Christmas back in the 1950's.  It is a part

of my collection but was not my doll back then.

She was and still is a popular doll to collect.  She is a Terri Lee Doll.

 

 

 

Some little girl got this doll for Christmas in the early 1940's.

This doll has been a part of my collection for about 15 years.

Her name is Rosebud.

 

The doll on her lap is from the early 1900's.  It is

a cloth doll with a head made from a compound like plaster of paris.

 

 

Some little girl got this doll in the late 1800's.

A friend from Athens gave me this doll.  She was in very bad shape when I got her.  She looks better now and is happy now to be among the other dolls.

 

 

 

 

Remember when the old commercial came out about the softness of Charmin?  One would always see old Mr. Whipple and him saying "don't squeeze the Charmin". 

 

If you could use this type of tag line "Don't squeeze the ________, what would you put in that blank?

 

It could be "oranges" or "apples", but that would be boring.  How about the "trigger".  Wowser, that could be dangerous.

 

When you insert another word besides "Charmin", it just doesn't work too well.  So, it's my opinion that if you want to spiff up that old tag line, you may have to still use Charmin in the blank and add something at the end. 

 

Something like "Don't squeeze the Charmin......it could save yo old hiney".  Now that spiffs up an old thing really well!!
