Santa vs. The Internet

All hail the Sunday Comics...
Once again I was reading the Sunday Comics, and I came to realize just how much we rely on electronics and today's communication systems...


Blondie Cartoon for 12/05/2010

I kind of feel like Dagwood...
I can remember counting the days, but the minutes and seconds?
Or having a computer do it for me...
I remember writing letters to Santa, and having my mother check them for neatness and spelling...
Instead of a computer and word processor...
I loved opening gifts - just for the sake of tearing the paper off...
And laughing at my dad for using his pocket knife and only slicing the tape...
I remember writing and sending cards...
I remember falling asleep by the fireplace waiting to catch Santa...
And resisting the temtation to eat his cookies...

Is it wrong for a technology instructor to wish for days when technology was not so prominent?


Now for a little humor in this holiday season...
"The Supreme Court has ruled that they cannot have a nativity scene in Washington, D.C. This wasn't for any religious reasons. They couldn't find three wise men and a virgin."... Jay Leno.
