Santa Claus is coming to town and it appears that a white Christmas is out of the question.
That’s OK; maybe Frosty the Snowman can make an appearance sometime next year. It’s going to be a low-key holiday for my family sticking close to home, so there will be no Christmas vacation. I certainly wish all of you a very Merry Christmas!
