if you rewrite a text by replacing every word with a synonym until none of the original words are left that's a ship of thesaurus
Here’s the point I make. The St. Nicholas to Santa Claus progression would be as if in the year 3700, trillions of humans living on Mars started telling their kids that Mitt Romney traveled from his secret workshop on Venus to bring them gifts on Mother’s Day. And he’s morbidly obese.
St Nicholas was the bishop of Myra is in turkey. At the time he died, he was unaware that north or South America existed. For him, Gibraltar was the westernmost edge of the world. The limes germanicus, around the Danube river, represented the frontier and north of that was essentially terra incognito. He was a bishop, and wealthy. A true believer. He may have been at the council of nicea. Christmas for him was kind of a minor religious celebration, like it was at that time in the church.
The local watering hole is going to do a pumpkin carving contest. Because if you give people knives and slippery gourds to go with their alcoholic beverages, you know everybody will have a good time. But that's not my point.
@PeoplesCDC is there any good guidance on whether to get a flu shot early or wait till October?
