It's beginning to look a lot like christmas

First, SD Watch noted that Christmas displays are going up at Lewis and K-Mart in Sioux Falls. Then, I see this little item on the AP wire on Yahoo News:

Danish Air Force Compensates Santa

The Danish Air Force said Thursday it paid 31,175 kroner ($5,032) in compensation to a part-time Santa Claus whose reindeer died of heart failure when two fighter jets roared over his farm. The animal, named Rudolf, was grazing peacefully at the central Denmark farm of Olavi Nikkanoff, when the screaming F-16 jets passed overhead at low altitude in February. The reindeer collapsed and died, leaving Nikkanoff with the prospect of only one animal pulling his sleigh next Christmas.

He complained to the air force, which agreed to compensate him for the cost of the reindeer and veterinary expenses.

"We got a letter from Santa complaining about his reindeer's death and looked into it seriously," said air force spokesman, Capt. Morten Jensen.

Read the whole thing here (but don't tell the kiddies).

Hopefully, Santa can get the Rudolph replacement all juiced up on flying corn, and get him ready for this season - since it's NEARLY 3 MONTHS AWAY!

Sorry, pet peeve of mine. I believe that Xmas shopping should not begin until the day after Thanksgiving. Not September. Of course, with 6 kids, I believe in the Easter Bunny and tooth fairy, and that professional wrestling is real, (at least, that's what I tell them so they don't try it at home.)
