Hi Katalusis and Facebook friends,
In case you didn't notice, the winter solstice 2014 began on Sunday, December 21 at 6:03 EST, marking the shortest day of the year. So one of our Christmas gifts on December 25 will be a few minutes more of daylight. And I'll look forward to those gradually expanding hours of daylight until suddenly I'll get home before dark after dashing into town at 3:30 or 4:00 p.m. to pick up a few groceries.
And speaking of Christmas, Mrs. Claus is getting into the act up there at the North Pole - hey, I just got an email from her:
Ho! Ho! Ho...Shell has got to go!

Dear Virginia,
Be a hero for polar bears, walrus, whales, caribou and other
Arctic animals this holiday season. Donate to Alaska Wilderness League
to help keep Shell out of the Arctic Ocean in 2015. We’re halfway to our $20,000 goal – please give what you can to help us hit our target!!
 *Your gift will be doubled!

Lots of people know that Santa keeps track of who’s naughty or nice.
But did you know that as Santa and I sit up here in the North Pole
watching our ice melt, he and I keep another list? It’s our list of heroes.
And you’re on it.
Why? Because we know that you’ve joined Alaska Wilderness League in standing up to Shell Oil and its Big Oil buddies. You’ve taken action to protect wild lands and waters essential to the Arctic creatures we love. Will you help again today?
You’ve spoken up for polar bears in America’s Arctic, and for the caribou of the Porcupine Caribou Herd who birth their calves every year on the Refuge’s Coastal Plain (and happen to be good buddies with my pal, Rudolph).
And for Arctic walrus, which have been fleeing to
land further from their food sources because of sea ice melt. Trust me,
you’ll never find these guys speaking up for themselves in Washington –
they’re positively terrified of airplanes.
And
yet the League needs your help again. Can you donate today to Alaska
Wilderness League and help them continue the fight for Alaska’s wild
public lands and waters? Thanks to a generous donor, your donation will be doubled!
Shell has submitted larger, noisier and dirtier drilling
plans aimed at the very Arctic waters where polar bears, walrus and
endangered bowhead whales are struggling to survive.
You’d think the company would have learned after all its crashing and
burning in 2012, but instead of addressing its mistakes, Shell is
claiming its disasters were actually part of a successful season!
Help stop Shell and protect polar bears, walrus, whales and our Arctic home.
Together, we can put a big lump of coal in Shell’s stocking this year.
Thank you!
- Mrs. Claus
P.S. We’re halfway to our $20,000 goal – please give what you can to help us get there!
