So… How does a defrocked Xmas Tree Angel spend her Holidays??
Things to remember in this season of festivities: the Kid wasn’t really born on Xmas… The modern concept of Santa came from 1940s Coca-Cola ads and merchandising… The Roman festival of Saturnalia has more in common with what we celebrate than anything else… and I used to joke that “Xmas Tree fires kill more people every year than terrorists” – However, with all the Home-Grown Right-Wing Gun-Nut Loony Terrorists, School Shootings an’ such, seems these days the trees are in 2nd place… Bummer huh?
So even Rudie has to hold down two jobs to get by these days… Wonder if Santa’s Reindeer and Elves can join Local 190 of the Union of Wee Folk, Leprechauns, Long-Leggity Beasties and Assorted Apparitions? Miffy might make a great Agitator, although she might also scare off potential recruits…
Yeah, thanks… and I see poor Miffy has been shanghaied back into Xmas Tree duty… although at least Rudie had the kindness to duct-tape her to the treetop, instead of… uh, the old procedure she objects to so strenuously…

I was wondering when she’d show up…
The Angel with an Attitude…
Or these days, she’s a Sugarplum Fairy… How Miffy made the switch, I dunno – Perhaps she took a correspondence course…

Heeey Rudie, I’ll have two of whatever she’s drinking!
…drawn by the request of Joseph Bonnar, so thank him… Okay?
Thanks, Josh. 🙂
