Nelson's Santa

Inga from Brooklyn

I really do not understand the problem. Santa can be any colour he/she likes - never heard of Christmas magic? Just like children come in all colours so does Santa. If we kept up all our 'traditions' women still wouldn't have the vote, couldn't work when they married etc - I … View moreI really do not understand the problem. Santa can be any colour he/she likes - never heard of Christmas magic? Just like children come in all colours so does Santa. If we kept up all our 'traditions' women still wouldn't have the vote, couldn't work when they married etc - I could go on about the traditional past inequalities in societies. We all know that many inequalities and prejudices still exist in our society, so I hope it is time to let Santa be who he/she wants to be and give children of all colours a feeling of belonging and self-worth.

iii) our front glass ranchsliders that open out into 2 balconies so easy to reach etc

may make a bit longer but that's fine.

Ideally in week starting Mon 17/12.
