MeetUp with Santa Claus: An Important Report

MeetUp with Santa Claus: An Important Report

I had a very special MeetUp with Santa Claus in Colonial Williamsburg during one of his regular visits. I do not need anything for myself so I asked Santa about his plans for members of ActiveRain. He commented that bloggers are among his favorites because they document their activities.

Sadly, Santa reported that some of the ActiveRain bloggers have been caught up in political and religious rants that place them in his naughty category. When I asked if there was room for negotiation, Santa agreed that if all of the members would be nice for this week, he would set aside their naughty issues. 

Santa said that he would review recent blog posts on the 24th before he makes his rounds to check on the final status of naughty bloggers. His departing comment was to offer his best wishes for a Very Merry Christmas to the members of ActiveRain.

Santa is always kind and even when you are on the naughty list there are plenty of opportunities to get off of it in time to be rewarded for Christmas!

Too cute, Roy!  I hadn't noticed too many political skirmishes here on ActiveRain.  I try to not involve myself in those kinds of discussions here on AR.  But, am a little more active on my Facebook.  I know that political and religious activity on social media should not be part of any business plan.  However, part of me believes that we shouldn't entirely lose our power of free speech, when expressing our thoughts, during critical times.  Still however, I always try to remain respectful of those with opposing views.
