+ Bill Scott, an East Northport, N.Y., reader, regarding QT’s warning that Christmas pudding should be stirred clockwise with a wooden spoon, writes:
“Does this mean that you stir Christmas pudding counterclockwise, or anticlockwise, south of the equator?”
+ C.C., a New York City reader, meanwhile, hopes to remind us that there is no such thing as a Christmas poinsetta.
There are only Christmas poinsettias.
Ho, Ho, Ho!

WRITE TO QT:  qt@zaysmith.com

News Headline: “Is Trump compromised by Saudi money?”
News Headline: “Will Trump divide and conquer?”
News Headline: “Are quantum fields real?”
News Headline: “Are the Dems running scared?”
Yes, no, yes and no, always.
See how easy?

News Headline: “10 holiday songs we absolutely cannot stand.”
Ho, Ho, Ho!

News Headline: “Trump defends tear gas: ‘It’s very safe.’ ”
Exactly.
It’s so safe it can be used even on terrified refugee children.
So why is anyone complaining?

News Headline: “Trump’s ignorance is amazing.”
News Headline: “Trump’s ignorance still shocks us.”
Almost. . . almost. . . .
News Headline: “Trump’s criticism of bin Laden raid represents ‘complete ignorance.’ ”
There.
He has achieved perfection.

10:30 p.m. Tuesday, November 20, along Jet Wing Drive in Colorado Springs, Colo.

News Headline: “A Saudi prince helped save Trump from bankruptcy–twice.”
But at least there’s no collusion.

Can it be time for QT’s Christmas Reminders of the Season?
Evidently.
Ho, Ho, Ho!
To review:
+ The reindeer’s name isn’t Donner, but Donder.
+ It isn’t Kris Kringle, but Kriss Kringle.
+ It isn’t “God rest ye, merry gentlemen,” but “God rest ye merry, gentlemen.”
+ It isn’t “It came upon a midnight clear,” but “It came upon the midnight clear.”
+ It isn’t “toll the ancient Yuletide carol,” but “troll the ancient Yuletide carol.”
+ The poem isn’t “The Night Before Christmas,” but “A Visit from St. Nicholas.”
And one more:
Christmas pudding should be stirred clockwise.
And with a wooden spoon.
Ho, Ho, Ho!
