What do want from Santa?

This story was updated 12/5/2020

Life is funny.

We are in the midst of a pandemic, yet we ..... well..... we want to live.

We want to have hope. 

For that I give kudos to Oil City for finding a 50 foot tree to stick smack dab in the middle of the city and find a way to celebrate!

Awesome!

I'll admit, I'm afraid to be out and about. I don't know what this COVID-19 crap is all abut. I chatted with Mike Dulaney tonight, a commissioner, and all I could say is..... even if scientists seem to change their mind.... they are still scientist and we are not.

We do not know the science! We are not smart!  We are not really in the know!

So who do we believe?

​The numbers are not fake. We are getting this virus and people are dying.

Crawford currently has reported over twenty-two hundred cases. Venago over eleven hundred. I'm not trying to put a damper on this with these thoughts. Just perspective.

​Tonight was a testament to the fortitde of he American ideal. We will overcome.

I was proud to witness this!

I'm afraid to go out, but I appreciate that we still celebrate.

Oil City has a place, right now in Town Square Park right under the Christmas tree, where you drop off a letter to Santa. It will be open until Dec. 22.  I was told these will be read! 

What an outstanding bit of hope is this?

I can write a letter to Santa and it will be heard. 
​
What a wonderful gift this is to a city. Santa will hear our needs!

"Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart, you just gotta poke around."

​I love that we care. I love that we won't stop.

I was told that the Christmas Past celebration got off to a slow start, Friday. The organizer admitted, when asked, that in this day and age it's hard to know if the lower numbers are actually a good thing or not. It is important that we live....but it is important that we LIVE!

Tonight I was proud to be involved in a movement of hope!

But lets still be careful out there!
