• 11:31 I wish my true love would stop giving me all these birds. What am I supposed to feed them? #
• 11:32 Actually, maybe the birds are meant to feed all the people I'll be getting in the last few days of Christmas. #

• 12:18 For that matter, since the Whos' world doesn't appear to have an axis to tilt, would there even be a winter solstice? #

No, you don't have a FIREPLACE. EVERYBODY has a chimney, it's just a really small pipe that lets the furnace exhaust out, but Santa can handle that because he's Santa. (True. My dad explained this to me back when I was four and our house at that time didn't have a fireplace).

Good theory. I'm going with that.

Lo how a Rose E'er Blooming. And The Snow Lay On the Ground, which is an obscure song apparently the choir director at my dad's church loves because they sing it every year and I've never heard it anywhere else.

Happy Boxing Day!

I hope he didn't end up in the hot water heater at my mom's house, because that's where our chimney ended!
