Aw, heart-warming Christmas story


"A German chain of shops has removed miniature wooden Santa Claus figures from its shelves and destroyed them after customers complained it looked like they were giving the stiff-armed Hitler salute that is outlawed." (CNN)

Ich bin Santa!

Driving north out of my fine city, you pass a christian college with a large, boxy, odd looking, huge statue of jesus (in front of a seminary tucked into the woods) which until people complained and it was modified, appeared to be giving the finger to passing (secular?!) motorists.

(I love this place)

You better not shout.
You better not cry.
You better not pout.
I'm telling you why...
Santa Claus is goose-stepping to town.

Question: Where does the expression goose-stepping come from anyway? I have yet to see a goose walking in this manner.

And just how many geese have you observed going about their daily business?

Well, um,...I saw the Aristocats, and there was that scene with the two lady geese.
