Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for December 26, 2022

I always get a present “from me to me.” Santa is so worthy!

Always with the perfect gift – how DOES he do it?

that’s me buying camera gear as gifts for my own birthday

Looks awfully small to be a 92" TV.

Mrs. Claus (see her rolling her eyes) is thinking “Here he goes again. He’s like this every year.”

I bought a new computer for me for Chanukah

He’s so good to himself.

The profits from his toy deliveries?

I don’t have a room big enough to accommodate a 96 inch TV.

There is actually a study on this: https://www.howtogeek.com/818835/whats-the-best-tv-viewing-distance/

96 inches is literally off the scale. The geek in me decided to calculate it: it’s 13.1 feet. I suppose I can move the couch out to the hallway.

I thought she put him on the Naughty List this year?

Every year, as he heads out on his deliveries, he gets live naughty/nice updates. He never knows who will slip from the list, so he’s always surprised by what’s left over for him.

Everyone in our family is now ‘too old’ for Santa, but our pets give presents. And, since I have to do the shopping for them [I’m the only one who speaks cat and dog, though I have difficulty with snake], I get a present as well.

The bigger TV the better to watches them naughty kids eh.

A planned event…finally‼️

You’d have to sit in the next county to watch it.

Mrs. Claus knows the truth, as always.

Mrs Claus seems to be rolling her eyes. You’d think she’d be used to this, by now.
