Thumbs Up-

It is Christmas time, folks! Yes Christmas time, not the “holiday season.” This is the best time of year, filled with fun, family and no school! No matter what is going on, or how much stress surrounds you, just remember that it is the best time of year! Enjoy these next few weeks away from school; we all need it after these tough first few months with all that has happened. Enjoy the New Year and let’s make this a memorable 2013!

Thumbs Down-

This goes out to all Santa-haters. We need to get one thing straight: it is impossible for parents to get you all of your presents – plain and simple. They do not have the time to make the toys nor the time to buy everything, wrap it, etc. Santa is real, folks. If you cannot understand that, maybe you just shouldn’t celebrate this great holiday. It is a shame people can’t appreciate all he does, working tirelessly to make millions of people happy, flying all over the world, and asking only for the occasional feast of milk and cookies. C’mon, people: Santa is real.
