I’ve always had my suspicions about that Virginia O’Hanlon letter

It's the MSM: "Fake but accurate" is the standard.

I saw that, too. It surprised me it had just stayed within the family so long. It was sweet.

"And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

(Luke 2:10-14, NIV)

And to all on the Balkan List and everyone else who celebrates Christmas this day, "Christ Is Born! Truly He Is Born! May the Peace & Joy of Christmas fill your Hearts!"

This whole Santa Clause business is just strange to me

Me too, but then I never saw that movie.

Is this why March of the Wooden Soldiers isn’t on anymore?

Thank you for the greetings.

By the way, those passages come from the King James Bible, not the NIV.

Oops. That's what happens when I'm too hasty; I make mistakes. Thanks for catching this one.
