If you live in the San Joaquin Valley, “You might not be able to light the yule log in your fireplace next Christmas,” The Modesto Bee reports.
Reached for comment at his home in the North Pole, Santa Claus said, “Don’t look at me. I had nothing to do with this silliness. In fact, I’ve always found the visibility over Bakersfield quite satisfactory.”

This is ridiculous; what are they going to try to legislate next…women’s control over their ability to have children?
