Our President I thought had a great speech yesterday.

Mr Biden's speech was good too but I thought it was odd he mispronounced a well known Bible book.




John 3:16 (KJV)
For God so loved the world,
that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish,
but have everlasting life.

Didn't watch any speeches.  I did watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day 'Parade'.  It was very 'unlike' the parades of years past.

I didn't watch any speeches nor Macy's parade. I  used to watch the JL Hudson's 
parade. I can imagine Macy's with social distancing, etc.

No people along the sidewalks, no floats or bands.  Just a stage on the street in front of Macy's.

And the young at heart.

I just posted that clip to show who the Burgermeister was.   Incidentally, I saw that animated movie just the other day.  Kris (a young Kris Kringle)  delivered toys to all the children in defiance to the Burgermeister's orders.  He also brought a toy to the evil Winter Worlock, whose heart melted because of it.  There was this cute little red headed schoolmarm (who later became Mrs Claus)  I forgot how Kris's name was changed from Kringle to Claus .
Anyway, with the help of the Worlock, the little redhead got Kris out, and they got married- and so on.

Here's a synopsis of the story:
The story begins in the gloomy city of Sombertown, ruled by the ill-tempered Burgermeister Meisterburger. A baby arrives on his doorstep with a name tag reading "Claus" and note requesting that the Burgermeister raise the child. He then orders his lawkeeper Grimsley to take the baby to the "Orphan Asylum". On the way there, a gust of wind blows both sled and baby to the mountain of the Whispering Winds, where the animals hide him from the Winter Warlock and convey him to an Elvish family by the name of Kringle. Led by Tanta Kringle, the elf queen, they adopt the baby and name him “Kris”. A few years later, Kris hopes to restore the Kringle family as "The First Toymakers to the King".
When Kris is old enough, he volunteers to deliver the elves' toys to Sombertown. Meanwhile, the Burgermeister has banned all toys in the town, and declares that anyone found possessing a toy will be arrested. On his way to Sombertown, Kris meets a lost penguin whom he names Topper. In the town, he offers toys to two children washing their stockings by a water fountain. He is stopped by Miss Jessica, their lovely school teacher; but she softens toward Kris when he offers her a china doll as a "peace offering". As Kris gives more toys, the Burgermeister arrives, and Kris gives him a yo-yo. The Burgermeister at first happily plays with it; but when Grimsley reminds him of breaking his own law, the Burgermeister orders Kris' capture.
As Kris and Topper return to the Kringles, the Winter Warlock captures them; but when Kris gives him a toy train as a present, the Warlock befriends Kris. To repay him, he re-unites Kris with Jessica, who informs him that the Burgermeister has destroyed all the toys and the children now request new ones. When the Burgermeister hears that Kris means to bring more toys, he orders all doors to be locked, before their houses are searched; but Kris enters by the chimneys, and the children hang their stockings by the fireplace to conceal the toys therein.
Thereafter the Burgermeister sets a trap for Kris as he makes another delivery, and thus captures the Kringles, Topper, and Winter. Jessica pleads with the Burgermeister to release her friends, but he refuses, and Jessica requests Winter to break everyone out; but Winter says he can't, on grounds of having little magic except some feed corn enabling reindeer to fly. With the reindeer's help, the Kringles, Kris, Topper, and Winter escape. After months as an outlaw and discovery that their home was destroyed by the Burgermeister's guards, Kris returns to the woods, where he grows a beard as a disguise. After Tanta suggests that he return to his birth name of "Claus" for safety, Kris marries Jessica. After the ceremony, the group travels to the North Pole to build their own castle and workshop. As the years pass and Kris and Jessica grow older, Kris travels only at night to evade the Burgermiester's enforcers, until the laws against him are abolished following the Burgermiester’s passing and Kris' legend goes worldwide. Having become Santa Claus, he is unable to fulfill all the toy requests throughout the year, and reserves his efforts for Christmas Eve.

LFF, thank you. A fairy tale, yes, but a good story with a good ending.
