The Yeti left a little bell under my Yule Tree last year. (At least I believe he did.) OK – it probably wasn’t a Yeti. It might have been my wife. And technically it was Season 1 of Star-Trek TOS – but it was cool anyway. I DEFINITELY do have a blurry picture of a bipedal hairy hominid sitting with my kids drinking a cup of coffee on Christmas morning.

Great quote.

As far as Van Allsburg goes, THE POLAR EXPRESS is great, but MY favorite Van Allsburg yarns are JUMANJI and ZATHURA.

The Robin Williams movie and the ZATHURA one were good, though.

That is certainly a revealing comment from the author of a really wonderful Christmas story. I have the movie based on the book (I bought it last year), and it is a wonderful movie. Great find, Loren, and keep up the good work.

Terry Pratchet summed this up well in his book ‘The Hog Father’

they needed to keep belief in the hogfather alive so the sun would come up in the morning

if he died then a flaming ball of gas would rise instead

as humans are defined by their stories and myths
