Again it will be that time of year again where Santa will be flying house to house bringing joy and happiness to children of all ages every where. Santa’s trip although not a matter of national security, his trip will be monitored by NORAD and you too can monitor his midnight ride by going to www.noradsanta.org. To keep the Yankees on their toes and scratchin’ thar heads, Santa pretends to start his midnight ride from the North Pole, but as every school boy and girl knows, the trip begins at South Pole. Santa leaves the South Pole traveling throughout the Southern Hemisphere then travels north along the International Date Line to cornfuse them Yankees, thus, giving the impression that his trip started up North some where.

So, how does this confirm that Santa is a Confederate? By his uniform and sleigh of course! Equipped and assisted by Confederate Artillery units under the supervision of Colonel E. Porter Alexander, Chief of Artillery, Santa was given a uniform from the Artillery corps and quietly changed it from gray with red piping to Red with white piping. His sleigh was a converted caisson. Research also indicates that the eight reindeer were brought over from Southern Norway on a blockade runner.

As you settle down for that long winters nap just remember that the rebel yell you hear in the middle of the night was not in your dreams but coming from your rooftop. Merry Christmas to all and Y’all have a good night – ya hear!
