Progressive Family Leaves Milk, Cookies, And Rapid COVID Test For Santa

CONCORD, VT—A local family claims to have improved upon the classic Christmas tradition of leaving milk and cookies for Santa Claus by adding a Rapid COVID Test into the mix.

“In these trying times, it’s important to remember the jolly fat man who travels the world in a single night. He’s at high risk of death due to his morbid obesity,” said local father, Thomas Moody. “And think of the elves—they aren't vaccinated! Santa’s probably carrying COVID! He's basically a walking biohazard at this point!”

Other families have started to pick up on the idea, but question how many rapid tests Santa will need in one night. Some have also expressed concern over Santa’s vaccine status.

“I think it’s irresponsible,” said next-door neighbor, Regina Trundle. “Santa’s probably an anti-vaxxer. They probably don't even have CNN at the North Pole! We shouldn’t be wasting tests on him when they should only be used by vaccinated people who don’t need them!”

The Moody family respectfully disagrees with their neighbor of fourteen years and has since cut off ties with them. “We don’t need any of that negative energy,” said Sarah Moody. “I’ve already told my children Santa will probably die without a COVID test."

At publishing time, the two Moody children have begun seeing a counselor for depression.

UFO Files Reveal Aliens Here And Already Defrauded Minnesota For $20 Billion

"They're here among us," alien specialist Donny Marcus told the press. "I've been studying these beings for years — they're smart, and they're resourceful. It took no time at all for them to defraud Tim Walz's government of billions through Medicare and Medicaid fraud. The government didn't even ask why they needed the money; they just forked it over. The invasion people have been anticipating has been happening right under our noses all along."

Democrat Effort To Retake Congress Once Again Thwarted By Existence Of Laws

"The Democratic Party would be winning in a landslide if it weren't for that confounded Constitution," said House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. "We have so many great ideas on how to win, but people keep saying things like 'Hey, that's illegal' or 'That's literally a crime.' It's becoming disheartening."
