    Sorry Randy…really not trying to be jerk. I think it’s because I’m looking at it on my iPhone. Yhe marks above his eye looked like stitches to me, and the ruddinrss on his cheeks looked like blood. Blame it on the small screen! I thought maybe you were trying to make a statement about the commercialization of Chirstmas or something.

      @Rich Stephens, No, I understand. I removed the “stitches.”
      I really wasn’t trying to make a statement, but I can see where you could see that—and I’m alright with that, now that I think about it. Thanks, Rich!

    Nice…but… well…is it just me? Who’s been beatin’ up on Santa?

    1. Randy Elrod Avatar

      @Rich Stephens, Uh, I don’t know whether to say a sarcastic “thanks” or give a hearty laugh.
