Default Our Good News Paper

I love TV, and I enjoy our good news newspaper.
But,
This is an adult oriented community.
And a front page dedicated to the Santa Claus myth is, IMHO, not appropriate for a front page in a community inhabited by 100,000+ adults.
Though the word NEWS is not in the title of the publication, it would be nice for all of us to be able to actually get some news in the morning.
Not a Santa hater, just looking for some balance in life.

When I looked at it I thought it was a great thing for all the grandchildren that are visiting TV this week.

The article was actually about the science of delivering packages. I found the part about the "Hoofprint Negation Device" particularly interesting. The article also suggested two mechanisms for how so many packages can be delivered in a single night: quantum mechanics and wormholes. I am hoping for a follow on article next year where this can be explored in more detail.

Dear "Daily Sun" Editor

I am "6"8 years old. Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says, If you see it in The Sun, its so. Please tell me the truth, is there a Santa Claus?

You can always subscribe to the Orlando Sentinel and it will be in your driveway every morning. Decent paper.

Subscribe to on-line papers of different viewpoints and you can hole up and be a complete news junkie.

I so much more enjoyed reading the front page of the Daily Sun today, than reading about the continuing unrest in the St. Louis, MO area. There are plenty of ways to get the current news.

Merry Christmas

To the OP, "You better watch out". Santa Claus is coming to town.

I think a certain OP will get coal in his stocking.

Personally I loved it. I thought it was cleverly written. Just think of all the kids being able to read it this morning. Many kids don't read a newspaper like we did so perhaps this is all new for them.
