Peanuts by Charles Schulz for December 19, 2020

And some of us keep it right on the fireplace. (Which happens to be the place he comes out.

Nose mittens are the best!

I was just thinking, newer houses like mine down here in the South probably really confuse Santa. I have a fire place — but no chimney. :-o

Stretching it out for more goodies?

That Sally is why the Christmas Stockings are so garish in appearance. That way Santa couldn’t miss seeing them.

“Sock it to ME?” -Richard Nixon

Santa can’t fill his stocking if he’s wearing it.

I left my personal stocking with my name on it at my brother’s apartment.

Always be prepared, huh, Snoopy?

It’s a nose warmer for Snoopy.

Santa sees everything.

Silliest Christmas tradition? Midnight Mass. Or mistletoe.

“He sees you when you’re sleeping, he knows when you’re awake”…

Sally, I think he can handle one lousy sock.

Once upon a time, all your presents would actually fit in a stocking. And not one of those special Christmas ones – an actual sock that you wear.

After all these centuries, Santa knows what he’s doing. Try not think about it too much.

That is why you hang them by the fireplace, Sally.
