A holiday note humorously asks for a wand to fix local issues. It imagines gifts for tennis players, BART riders, Elmer and Fred Cooper, SF Bay politics, courthouse sites, calendar quirks, Sierra snows, Charlie Finley, A’s fans, CAMP members, environmental reports, Hayward jail decisions, George Meany, Mulford Gardens, Oakland Scavenger, Union City poker players, and upcoming elections. Readers receive best wishes for Christmas.
A skeptical man, generous and honest, doubts the Christmas claim that God became man. Snow seals a flock of birds outside his home. He struggles to help them until church bells ring, and he realizes the meaning of Christmas.
In a humble home the Cratchits share a festive meal built on thrift and love. Bob returns with Tiny Tim on his shoulder as Mrs. Crachit serves a grand pudding amid a bustling scene and the family joins in a chorus of “God bless us every one.”
A biblical account from Luke describes Mary and Joseph traveling to Bethlehem under a decree by Caesar Augustus, Jesus born in a manger, angels proclaiming good news, shepherds visiting, and Mary treasuring these events in her heart. The narrative ends with shepherds glorifying God after reporting what they were told.
The reader is presented with the famed 1897 Santa Claus letter to Virginia O’Hanlon from an editor in The Sun. The piece recounts the editor’s immortal reply affirming belief in Santa Claus, arguing the existence of wonder, faith, and imagination beyond sight. It highlights the cultural origin of the holiday message and celebrates enduring childlike faith.
A historical note recalls Clement Clarke Moore writing A Visit from St Nicholas in 1862 for children. The poem popularized the Santa Claus image with St Nick, reindeer, and the line Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night.
