Odd Christmas photo of the dayLeo Park, age six, poses as a man dressed as Santa Claus is lifted by crane onto the world’s first Santa-friendly chimney in Somerford Keynes, England, Dec. 19, 2011. The development of the chimney, which is undergoing practical tests, was inspired by Leo after he told his mother that the chimney in the house they were having built was too small to accommodate Santa Claus.

from Wall Street Journal: Retail Sales Gained in November
Retail sales rose 1.3% — almost twice as much as predicted.
Hey, who needs a job when they have credit, right?

U.S. retail sales rose in November nearly twice as much as expected, making a broad-based increase that suggested consumers were buying aggressively and supporting the economy in the holiday shopping season.


Must be Santa.

Santas Demand Swine Flu Vaccination

From Asylum:

The Amalgamated Order of Real Bearded Santas (AORBS) has called for costumed Santas to be put on the priority list for swine flu vaccine shots. Apparently, the standard flask of gin concealed in a Santa suit just doesn’t have the germ-killing power to defeat H1N1.

“I have heard across the country numerous Santas who have actually had the swine flu, but I have not heard reports back of any of our Santas being able to get the swine flu shot as of yet,” said AORBS president Nicholas Trolli.

Trolli said he wants swine flu shots to protect not only the Santas but to protect the public. In the meantime, he is urging Santas to take vitamins and use hand sanitizer (Santa-izer?).

Another Santa group, Santa America, said they will require their Santas to wash their suits daily instead of once a week and dispense with white gloves so Santas can wash their hands more frequently.

And coming soon to a mall near you, the hermetically-sealed Santa chamber. Merry Christmas, kids!
