    • WORD FROM THE MEISTER
    IS SANTA CLAUS DEAD?
    Last week I related an experience I had with my little boy who "matter of factly" told me the truth, that St. Nikolaus was dead - that he died a few hundred years ago in Turkey, and that the dude handing out gifts at the Kinder gym was a fake. He can be pretty blunt for a four-year-old. Obviously, he doesn't really care what BS I feed him, because he knows he's getting stuff on Christmas - no doubt about it. And I've completely lost my leverage with the boy; threats like "don't do that, Santa can see you" have no effect whatsoever.

    But it's my daughter who is the sentimental one. It was her who just last week looked at me with teary eyes demanding the truth. Was Santa really dead? Was he real? What was I to say? And I posed the question in the last newsletter - did I: a) lie to my little girl and fill her mind with total crap? or b) take the honorable route to righteousness; upholding truthfulness - teaching my child that honesty is the best policy no matter if you have to shatter a few myths along the way?

    The question was posted in our forum where a number of you voted - 74% of the voters believed that I totally bullshitted my little girl. 26% believed that I did the honorable thing and told the truth. So what did I do?

    Well you're damn right I lied. Why in the hell would I want to break my little girl's heart? There are times when it's best just to keep things mellow. Like the time when she was three, and I had to explain why we had to let one of her pet bunnies run free into the woods (yeah right), or when she wouldn't go to sleep at night - the "Nacht Eule" (the night owl) is going to come and check on you (that worked like a charm). Yeah, sometimes it's best to lie to children in order to maintain peace in the home.

    And myths are fascinating, aren't they? Christmas for me has always been a wonderful time, and it's the secular merged with the religious that is so intriguing. The History of Christmas is a must read at the history channel website. So what's wrong with a little myth in our lives? "Yes, little girl. There is a Santa Claus. And he's watching you."
    WHEN LYING IS BAD
    Lying is bad when you make a posting in forum, trashing an online casino and blatantly lie about the circumstance. Don't lie, because you will get caught.

    And now for the humor......
    You Know You've Had Too Much Christmas Cheer When...
    1. You notice your tie sticking out of your fly.
    2. Someone uses your tongue for a coaster.
    3. You start kissing the portraits on the wall.
    4. You see your underwear hanging from the chandelier.
    5. You have to hold on to the floor to keep from sliding off.
    6. You strike a match and light your nose.
    7. You take off your shoes and wade in the potato salad.
    8. You hear someone say, "Call a priest!"
    9. You hear a duck quacking and it's you.
    10. You complain about the small bathroom after emerging from the closet.
    11. You refill your glass from the fish bowl.
    12. You tell everyone you have to go home... and the party's at your place.
    13. You ask for another ice cube and put it in your pocket.
    14. You yawn at the biggest bore in the room... and realize you're in front of the hall mirror.
    15. You pick up a roll, and butter your watch.
    16. You suggest everyone stand and sing the national budget.
    17. You're at the dinner table and you ask the hostess to pass a bedpan.
    18. You take out your handkerchief and blow your ear.
    19. You tell your best joke to the rubber plant.
    20. You realize you're the only one under the coffee table.

    ha ha ha (hic!)
