25/Nov/21 one month till Christmas


 

Good morning world.

Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home, in Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada.

The Big Guy is off work today.

It's Thanksgiving in the United States.

Thanksgiving in the Unites States is a much bigger "thing" than Christmas is.

Christmas tends to be celebrated by people of the Christian Religious Faith.  But pagans have added the gift giving to the extreme.

They say that some dude, who for some reason, lives at the North Pole, has flying reindeer, a sleigh, a huge bag of toys for "good" boys and girls.

Does that mean that Santa Clause is Canadian?

For some reason, the Big Guy, when he was a Little Guy, always thought that Santa Clause, although living at the North Pole, thought that he was from Norway.

But Canada has the most Northern Community in the world.

CFS Alert.

The Big Guy was there for 6 months.

While was there, they had Christmas in July.

The Big Guy had worked in the CANEX, or as they named it, The Trading Post.  People used to call him Capt CANEX while he was there.  But he was supposed to be known as "Trader".

When they sent mail from CFS Alert, there was a stamp that said, Top of the World, next to Santa's Workshop.

Floyd even got a letter from Santa, while the Big Guy was at CFS Alert.  It was hand written.  Floyd was in grade 3 and brought the letter to school to show the non-believing kids that Santa existed.
