Christmas to New Year Break

And an Interesting Reading Recommendation

I plan to return to writing next week on January 2, 2023. The City of Spokane City Council and Spokane County Commissioners don’t re-convene until next year—and I need to recharge my batteries. 

Meanwhile, for those of you who were never quite satisfied with the story that Santa Claus originated from the particularly generous 4th century Roman Catholic bishop Saint Nicholas (with many subsequent cultural modifications), there is another story from far northern Europe that, for me, offers a better explanation of how flying reindeer became part of the story that most of us grew up with in the North America. 

Here’s the link: The Hidden History of Santa Revealed! (To read it you may need to click a “No Thanks” button to get past the subscription offer.)

Keep to the high ground,
