Amid the joy and happiness that is Christmas, disaster has struck. Making his way home to Nebraska, Fr. Ralph took along a chocolate Santa in his baggage. The confectionary marvel was placed in a double cushioned box that very much resembled an Egyptian sarcophagus. Sadly, when the boxes were opened, Fr. Ralph discovered that while the boxes show no damage at all, Santa smashed into chocolate shards. Who did this? Thoughts immediately went to the baggage handlers of the airlines, but after closer inspection, something was found inside the bag that removed all questions as to who was responsible for roughing up Old Saint Nick. Inside Fr. Ralph's bag was the calling card of the TSA, acknowledging that they opened the bag, inspected the contents, and well, you know the rest. On the smashed Santa, Fr. Ralph said, "If someone was afraid of smuggling something illegal inside this tasteful and festive chocolate Santa, then smashing Santa to bits is one way to get answers. But we could also send him through a machine to look inside, an X-ray machine. Just saying."
