Yes, yes he is.
And, here's the proof
Isn't it wonderful when technology works to enhance and enrich and modernize old traditions? It almost feels like we're using it properly when that happens.
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.

Isn't There A Line?
Santa Claus, kneeling, his eyes fixed upon the baby Jesus.
The head of Santa Claus, on a pole.
A Helicopter, propeller moving, carrying Santa Claus.
Two snowpeople who appear to be ... attempting to create a third through natural methods.
A giant snowman, standing in a balcony, hands stretched out like the Pope giving an imporant address to the people.
What do these things have in common?
... I'll give you a moment to ponder your answer

got a guess?

If you guessed "Things scene in Northwest Ohio in people's front yards" you win!!!!
"Elf Puke" has simply gone too far. And has stopped making sense. I love houses who compiment their beauty with simple white lights on their porch, or even running across their house. I love a nice display in a front yard that is well done. I really enjoy driving down the street and seeing a wonderful and festive display.
What I don't get are people who feel the need to cram a decoration on every square inch of their property. People who mix and match with no need or desire for a theme. People who spends what i have to estimate at thousands of dollars in lighting bills (not to mention the cost of the decorations themselves).
Isn't there a line? Isn't there a point where common sense should kick in?
How I hope that I never join these people in elf puking my house. I've decided to enact a "Betts Law" (think man law, only ... just me and Rachel). Any external decorations we buy and put up, we have to give matching time and money to a charity.
I hope that will keep us from losing our senses and going overboard on the decorations.
