We put up our Christmas tree today. I helped decorate the tree. There's a few bobbles we've had for 10 years or so that feature a Santa with a cigarette going. As soon as I saw them I thought "Avatar!" Hope you like it.

P.S. This is not my handy work. I think the bobbles were made in Poland before political correctness hit them (if it ever did).

Are you SURE Nick isn't sparkin a bowl? Looks like a pipe to me.

I have put in my large order for cigars at Thompson....should be here in a few days. Torpedo samplers this go round....with humidors.

My excuse is they are for my Brother in Law but I might pull a few out for quality assurance ...

In order to keep our board members informed about pertinent issues, the visitreno.com research team went to work on this issue.

The results show that not only does Santa smoke, but he may indeed be a public hazard and a bank robber, as evidenced by the photo on the right. Our researchers noticed a glass of brandy and bags of money. Given he must reach billions of households in a relatively short time, he's undoubtedly guilty of speeding while driving impaired.

Our researchers have also found evidence that Santa may be spreading infectious diseases to children and women of all ages. ("I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus"). Considering the number of children who sit on his lap in malls throughout the world, the spread of disease is a given.

Our researchers feel that restrictions should be placed on the old fart to include health checks (kind of moot, since he smokes), a background check, sobriety checks and something else, but our researchers have forgotten what that is.

This report is a public service of visitreno.com. You can thank me later.

It's a good thing we have this board - who knew that Santa was such a public enemy?

From now on, I know to keep careful watch for him from behind an overturned couch, with my sawed-off shotgun handy.

Thanks for the public service, John!

Ahhh.... I think I've decided to send Christmas cards this year using either the Pall Mall or the Lucky Strike image.... you can't imagine the joy that washed over me as I saw Santa enjoy the mellow flavors of a Pall Mall and the richness of a Lucky Strike - LSMFT!! (anybody know the "second" meaning of LSMFT?)

Something to do with a tired finger. I am a strong believer in premarital interdigitation.

The "loose strap" reference was the one I was thinking of, but tired finger also lends itself well to the LSMFT.....
