    The hens seem to have forgotten about snow, though it was only a few weeks ago. Had to do much encouraging to get them out of the hen house this a.m. One bright bird flew to where we feed them, rather than set foot in the stuff!

    That should cheer up a few bitter and greedy mid-lifers who missed the boat in 2009.

    Some online retailers are saying they might not be able to deliver on time.

    Look, someones going to be more upset than you this Christmas, even if it is a 5yr old girl that thinks Farther Christmas has forgotten about her.

    Get gloating! Bear food I think it's called.

    What a pathetic post, shame on you

    Now any smart kid is going to wonder why the snow causes logisitical problems for Santa on Christmas Day... he's got a sleigh after all. I forsee much parental wriggling to manouver out of that particular can of worms (and yes, as a kid I was the little so-and-so who'd come out with something like that).

    Animal welfare rules have changed these days....he can't take the rein deer out when its too cold, they can't wear rugs because of the wind up there. a reindeer with frostbite is a tragedy.
