[Basilissa]

Ho ho ho, 'Lissa, oft-times so obsessive about rationality yet equivocating potential age with actual age.



You regular humans are so cute, I am not even going to discuss the apparent contradiction of your cognitive dissnance of making the preservation of glass objects overly optimistic - yet considering the unproven and hearsay-based eternal existence in bliss factual.



But we have to discuss shards. Aren't they useful by their own right, and the existence of the glass objects can continue in them even if the artwork has ceased? I urge you, Pumpkin, to consider e.g. the person Job [COLOR=#ff0000][B]of the book you are obsessed with, how he used shards and ashes as nice remedies of a skin condition. Of course, you can also melt them for recycling.

Why are you so obsessed with melting glass for human recycling?

As an immortal being, shouldn't you be more concerned with geological scale of recycling, that is, grinding, not just glass but also natural rocks (even natural glass, obsidian), into sand, and then recycling these sand particles into brand new sedimentary rocks?

I put some extra commas there as my gift to you.

But gotta go for now, I have some hospital visits to make. Stay cute and stubborn, 'Lissa.

Is this your conjoined twin?

Anyway, I have a more important question. You said you don't deliver people - but do you deliver islands? The bestest President in the history of America and (obviously) of the whole world, our One and Only Donald Trump (), is dreaming of Greenland for Christmas. Can you give it to him?

Baz... Geological scale is also ephemeral. I care about the continuous present, and how presents bring about nice emotions in those, who have accummulated high-quality elf-karma and, perhaps, a learning experience for the others. I also deliver according to the innermost needs of the receivers and, no, I do not deliver sovereign states to individuals. While Donnie-Baby has obviously his own gift registry, I can devulge one of the items going to the WH one of these days. He'll need it eventually.



Meanwhile, I'm also pondering what to give old Vlad, one of the bestest pals of Don-Don. He has only so many Christmases left, as you can deduce from this photograph that one of me Elfs took in 2037(-ish).

At least someone still knows how to give truly useful gifts.

Sister Basillissa, you are so thoughtful! Always thinking of others-- unlike some people who don't seem to know the difference between Nancy Who? and Trixie Belden, the bestest girl sleuth to ever grace the pages of a children's mystery novel. Stupid Santa Claus.

[Isabella White]

'Bella...



In your case, there is still potential for emotional improvement and, perhaps in a couple of decades of so, I can actually deliver the baby toucans that you crave so desperately. Here's something that can prepare you to taking care of other organisms! A duck-shaped ceramic pot for easter grass. Just plant the seeds and you'll have your own very funny and cute easter ornament in just a few weeks. All your little friends will envy you and wish to share a nice drink with you. Perhaps even your gentleman friends will want to stay the night...

Oh, no you don't, SATAN Claus — you can just keep that pot of Easter grass. I haven't forgotten the horrible grassy plant pot that you left on my porch (for all of the neighbors to see!) years ago, you awful, creepy demon, you!



Now, kindly clear out of here, and take your plant pots and toucans with you. has had more than enough of you for quite some time. Lucy agrees!!!

I understand, Baby-Girl. Expectations are high, emotions are all over the place, and you're shivering with antici----pation... Just a few hours more and I'll be there, but I do get that it's so-o-o-o difficult to calm down when SANTA IS COMING TO TOWN!!! I could not locate a "Nancy Who" book but there are lots of Doctor Who products to choose from. THIS one is for YOU. Ain't I swell. Jolly nice, isn't it, utterly delightful for a purrrfect Christmas! A Tardis mug.



It's the perfect vessel for you Tea Royale. I'm also eager to start off. This is from last year, the Philippines. The crowd went wild, as always!

I also loved Lucille Ball and spent many pleasant hours sweeping her chimneys, if you know what I mean. Because of our shared love, I'm giving you something EXTRA SWELL AND UTTERLY UNIQUE. A gift card to your local tattoo studio for a Lucy tattoo on your wrinkled shoulder, Baby-Girl!



This was I with Lucy in the 60's, one of the bestestest millennia of my prolonged existence.

[Isabella White]

This was I with Lucy in the 60's, one of the bestestest millennia of my prolonged existence.

NO, SATAN Claus! I Love Lucy was in the 50s. The 50s! The 1950s, and don't forget it! And while it's on my mind, I must rebuke you for inspiring the destruction of beautiful mas music. Most of the people here at are accustomed (and looking forward) to musical selections that are done with grace and dignity — to glorify the birth of the beloved , . We cherish the old carols, such as Silent Night, Away in a Manager, O Little Town of Bethlehem, to name but a few.

But, no thanks to your infiltration, what do we get these days? Agatha (my sister) turned on the radio the other day and she got this: a bunch of nigras doing a "gospel" version of music from Messiah. If this isn't atrocious, then I don't know what is!

And as if that isn't bad enough, I was looking for a video of Renee Fleming singing Rejoice Greatly, and what did I find? Utter rubbish, and a sure sign of the decaying effects of sin — as you shall see here in this video of a proud, flaming homersexualist singing like a woman!

And as for your earlier comment that I take tantrums, I will have you know that I am NOT taking tantrums. I am merely doing my -given duty, as commanded from within the pages of the glorious !

Psalm 107:2 "Let the redeemed of the say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;"

Taking tantrums and testifying for about decent, Holy standards are not the same thing — not that a bound heathen such as yourself would notice — or care!

[Dr. Anthony J. Toole]

Santa, I've noticed you have a thing. That's good, people love that, especially the young'uns. I made you something for your special day. Alright enough man-on-man gift giving, you better get going, it's past midnight in Kiribati.

Gee Whizz, 'Bella. The cuteness overload of your emotional paroxysms. I am quite busy now flying over the Pacific. Christmas Island's done. I always begin there, as it is so fitting a start, isn't it?

Never cared much for Handel and it's much too upbeat for you. So no more stocking-stuff but just a nice sacral work for you to enjoy and reflect upon your regular moodiness.

I still miss her. Lili. The most talented one ever. But gotta fly on. Great vistas over Samoa.

LOVE it! Ho ho ho ho! I take back my earlier words and the new fleshlight is YOURS. Still going over the Pacific and typing but will get to you in due course!

Oh, for Heaven's sake, SATAN Claus! What on Earth is wrong with you? I had to look up that Lili Boulanger person, as I could not understand the fuss that you've made. And am I surprised in learning that she was a French woman, which means that she — most assuredly — was a Cathyolick heretic? Of course not, and that explains why her "music" is so dreary and dismal. Instead of writing some brilliant music that actually glorifies Almighty , Miss Boulanger had decided to write a piece that belongs in a funeral — a dreary dirge, a death march!

And, "boulanger" ... apparently, that means "baker". One might think that if this Lili woman had any real talent, she might do some actual baking and open a pastry shop. But, if her cooking is anything like her music, then I think we can all be glad she missed that calling!

Now, for goodness' sake, let that be your last message for the year on . I think I speak for one and all people when I say that we have had more than enough of your incessant ramblings!

[Santa Claus]

*A desperate plea for attention*

OK. Isabella White, seriously! You don't have to be JEALOUS of me! Of course I still love you and will always be there to deliver stuff. In fact, in your age group, you're my 367,801,202nd favorite person ever! That's jolly good! Don't you worry, Unca Santa will slip a bottle of good old MD 20/20, your all-time favorite, as an extra tonight!



Still going strong. Over Asia. Good memories from yonderyear Samarkand.

[Isabella White]

Is it safe to come in here yet? Has he left? Oh, how I long for the old days when we would hear, "Elvis has left the building!" — only replace "Elvis" with "SATAN Claus" and we're all set! Let us glorify the on birthday today, and give thanks that the devil has once again been defeated!

Revelation 20:1-3:
1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.

² And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

³ And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more ...

Merry mas, one and all!

Thank you, Sister Isabella. I think this Santa is now at home throwing down the whiskey. He will do that until next Christmas.

[Santa Claus]

This is an automated reply. Santa is on vacation until December 1, 2026. Regarding customer complaints and returns, Santa is proud to introduce a 'goodwill' returns policy, especially at Christmas. All properly filled complaint forms can and will be assessed if returned in person to the North Pole Central office (Manager's building, 3rd floor) by 2 January 2026. Only personally signed petitions in triplicate will be considered.

Santa thanks all participants of this forum for their interest is his policy of good delivery and he's looking forward to meeting you all again next year. Santa especially thanks the World Population for, once again, showing much more interest in his thread on this forum compared to the one by Jesus C. As a compliment, Santa is happy to share with you some of his bestestest holiday photos that he just sent to the NP headquarters. Be nice!
