Cynic
I watched “Christmas Chronicles” with a four-year-old. (Yes, it’s February. It was my idea.)
I joked, “Will they save Christmas?”
Without missing a beat, he said, “No. Impotible (impossible). Santa said so.”
“What?! They have the Christmas spirit! They’ll save it.”
He said, “No, they won’t.” Like I was naïve.
“I’ll bet you dessert tonight that they do.”
He bet me. Turns out, I was right.
I know you’re thinking, “No way you ate his dessert,” and you’d be wrong.
In my defense, there were only two pieces of chocolate cake. Besides, he was already cynical, so what’s the harm?



I love, love, love the illustration! Christmas can be anytime you want. If Sirius XM is still playing Christmas music, I am tuned to that channel no matter what month it is 🤣
