I read this title and was expecting a Rudolph rant, haha! I think that the premise behind him is awful. It's basically saying if you're unique or stand out in any way, society will shun you until you prove yourself useful to them at which point they will use you for that uniqueness in spite of not liking you before. Dang! I saw it as let your nose shine on! Be you, the world will adjust.  |

There are other parts of that story that talk about things being 'men's work'. Things were much more black and white decades ago than they are now. |

Could women even have their own credit card then? |

The struggle is real  . My Christmas colour scheme is pink, purple, silver and a touch of blue, most Christmas lines that feature those colours are geared towards a more cold, snowflake filled Christmas. A little bit different to the sun filled, sweltering Australian summers we have but I try my hardest to make it work with the more generic patterns. |

Said with the naivete of one who has only ever lived in the US, and mostly northern states where we see our share of snow, I have always looked at the snow/snowflakes/wintery imagery that goes along with santa as a nod to the North Pole, not where *I* am geographically. Me too!!! I did just a few months ago purchase a Santa cactus stamp set for my sister that lived in Arizona. And of course after 24 yrs she just moved back here last month  |
