Today's Mighty Oak

And a heartwarming tale



Okay, popping in once more to share a video that’s been circulating.

 

Here’s the background of the story at the Times:

They had handed out a few letters to friends to answer, but not nearly enough to make a dent in the pile. Each day when one of them would check the mail more letters would fall out of the box.

One option: Take the letters to the Main Post Office, where they would be added to the thousands of other letters sent to Santa each year. Thoughtful strangers, in a perfect world, would pick them up and buy the letter writers gifts.

But Jim imagined the worst: “If we bring them back to the post office, are all the kids getting a letter back with ‘Return to Sender’? I don’t want that to happen.”

And another follow up interview here:

It’s interesting to think about kids growing up and learning that Santa was really two gay guys in Chelsea. How do you think that will make them feel?
Jim: By the time they grow up, it won’t matter. Years from now, they won’t even think in terms of gay or not-gay.
