ni just not ready
Saturday. November 1 - as I recall, it was
a typical Indian Summer day. fairly mild for
that time of year and a bit hazy in the
distance.
I turned on the television to relax for a few
minutes on a lazy autumn day. And there he
was the jolly old gent in the red and white
suit riding behind some deer on a float in
Toronto's Santa Claus parade.
Don't get me wrong. I like Santa as well as
the next person. I admire his generosity and
longevity, and I marvel at his seemingly
boundless energy. .
Contrary to popular belief. '1 understand
dat his work lasts longer than one or two
ays. I'll bet he's busy twelve months of the
year. I'll bet he and Mrs. Claus haven't taken
a decent vacation in years.
Consider the work his job involves -
,updating lists ofreqeests. ages and address-
es; re-mapping his , world flight: reading his
mail; shopping for gifts: assembling and
making some toys. clothes and other gifts:
keeping his weight up: and making sure the
sleigh `is in tip-top condition and waxing the
runners; trimming his beard: and supervis-
ing all those mischievous elves not to mention
Rudolph and his gang.
It makes me feel tired jest thinking about
all Santa's chores.
Then along comes NoVeMber and Decem-
ber, and he's deluged with requests to ride in
parades and make public appearances in
stores. shopping malls and even on street
corners. Sometimes he takes part in radio
phone-in talk shows, and- sometimes he
makes guest shots on TV shows.
His arm must get tired from wavitit. Yet,
by December24, he still has enough strength'
to lift toddlers onto hit knee.
His voice must become hoarse from
shinning all.those "Ho. Ho. Hos" on parade
routes. Perhaps that's why, if anyone catches
him on Christmas Eve, he doesn't say a word,
He just places `his finger on the side of his
nose and nods his head.
He's saving his voice for that final hearty
"Ho Ho!" when he's flying through the sky
with his work completed before dawn on
Christmas morning.
After a short respite, he jumps back on the
merry-go-round again, preparing for another
year.
I've, -strayed -from my opening remarks.-
When I spied SantaClaus on television on
November]. I alialittle upset.'I didn't want
to spoil the Christmas magic for anyone. but I
thought it' was starting a little early. I
Understand. though,,the old gent has to start
early, if he's expected to fill all the demand's
for personal visits.
The main reason I was upset was that
seeing Santa reminded me of things 1 was not
prepared to think about on an Indian summer
day - things I was going to have to do in the
near future. I just wasn't ready.
Now I've run out of space. The things I
wasn't ready for on November 1 will just have
to wait until next week,
