George announced, "Hey Mom, Santa smokes." I was perplexed and said, "No he doesn't." George said, "Yes he does. He has a black thing coming out of his mouth." And then I recalled the pipe. Max jumped in, "Yes, he has one. But it's just a picture of Santa smoking."
Max already thinks smoking is cool. So smoking Santa, vintage or not, is not helping the situation. He is my last believer, so Smoking Santa will have to be idolized for the next year.

We just got your Christmas letter and, as usual, it was a delight. A couple weeks ago Alissa commented that she was looking forward to Christmas. When I asked her what she was most excited about (expecting it to be visits from her brothers or sister-in-law or at the very least presents), she said, "The Christmas letter from the Sabins. It's hilarious." Two points for the Sabins. Then yesterday I came into the kitchen to find a stack of mail, containing about twenty Christmas cards, but only one that had been opened --yours. Two more points for the Sabins. Thanks for staying in touch! We miss you guys!
P.S. You can tell Max that Santa quit smoking in 1970 when he read the results of a science experiment: 'The Surgeon General Has Determined that Cigarette Smoking is Dangerous to Your Health'. It's true. Now he just eats cookies.
At last, not one, but two posts, in one week! Woohoo! It's about time.
