You know how they say, "it's the thought that counts"? They're totally right. How fabulous is this santa, sleigh and reindeer some of the locals (Afghans) who work on the base built in secret - with some help from the woodshop/carpentry staff (admittedly, it appears very little help)? Okay, so it looks like Santa may have crashed a little on his landing but I think he's flying 4 reindeer shy of a full fleet, so cut him some slack.
The guys who built this were SO PROUD of their gift to us - their homage to our Christmas, our "most important" holiday (per their perception). I practically beamed with pride for them. They practically beamed with pride under the praise and gratitude. Everyone was beaming. Everyone was priding. It was an all-out Christmas morning beaming-with-pride fest.
As Santa is wont to do, he breached religious, geographical and even environmental/climate barriers and united us. Santa for president in 0-twelve. Merry Christmas to all and to all ... good presents.
