Tuning In With Betsy  

I am so upset, trying to log into my blog, here at Blog Talk Radio, I typed in

www.blogtalkreindeer.com

I just read in the Toronto Star, that if you pay a private reserve, $375, in the NW Territories,  you can be guaranteed a reindeer to take out - and I don't mean to the Ballgame, or the Drive Thru Window at McDonalds or any other fast food joint. 

Inuvik, you break my heart, and the hearts of children around the world tonight.

I know caribou are dwindling, but how can you promote this at THIS time of year?

Have you no heart?

Apparently not.

I won't even mention soul.

Of all the days, in all of the year, why this, why now.  Call the Rabbi, who wrote, When Bad Things Happen To Good People.  I need consolation.

Someone replied to the Editor, to send these hunters to Afghanistan, where someone will shoot back at them. 

Reminds me of a Christmas in my hometown, of Shamokin, Pa. when I was a teenager.  Someone snuck downtown, to Santa's Reindeer Pen and let the deer loose.  Reindeer were not in the Shamokin City Budget, so we had to settle for the generic Pennsylvania  Buck and Doe and Baby Bambi. 

The last of the Reindeer knock-off exhibition in Shamokin.


On a happier note, Chelsea Bantan, woke up from a coma, in a hospital room in Mint Hill, North Carolina,.

Drs. and staff expected her to die, when her life support was removed.

She had a visitor and here he is. 




And no, it is NOT sunlight through the window.  Sure looks like an Angel to me.

I love the wings.  And I love the recovery.  And I love the time of year.  To me, it represents a definite message, not just to the Banton Family, but to Mankind.

Chelsea was not expected to live to her 15th Birthday.

Her 15th Birthday is Christmas  Day, Thursday, December 25, 2008.

Well done, Angel of Healing.

And I am sure there is more than one.

If you need a Christmas Miracle, ask your angel tonight.

Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah.
