   Right – I hope those two techs have seen the error of their ways & moved on to a more animal-friendly way of life…

   I love the horrible shenanigans some people get up to with the Elf – I just don’t like the spying aspect. Too much like “Big Brother Is Watching You.” YMMV; AWYSB…

   I was 4 when I figured out (for a variety of scientific reasons) that Santa Claus couldn’t possibly be a real live person, then I spent the next half-dozen years putting up with silly adults trying to convince me otherwise. As far as I was concerned, they were lying to me, refusing to listen to reason, or just being stupid, & I decided that if I ever had kids, I wasn’t going to insult their intelligence that way!

   Fast forward 30 years, & I told my precocious 3yo son, “Santa Claus is pretend, but that can be our secret, OK?

   Not technically, but the “keep warm” setting runs a little above 140℉ (minimum safe holding temperature for hot food), so it has a somewhat comparable net effect. Works for me, & it’s a lot cheaper than buying a separate appliance (not to mention more convenient than cluttering up my tiny hole-in-the-wall kitchen; the crockpot gets a lot of use & lives on a back burner with the element & knob removed)…

   I think we all grew up thinking our middle names should be “Jesus.”

    LOL! When I learned how babies are made, I thought: “My parents did THAT??? Waitaminnint, they must have done it at least 4 times…”
