| Introduction | Born of French and English-Canadian parents, the Yuletide Kid serendipitously immigrated to the United States on his second birthday becoming a naturalized American citizen at the age of seven. The Yuletide Kid was raised primarily in bipolar states: Massachusetts and Florida. As a result, he is a bit divided with regards to the American Civil War. After college, the Yuletide Kid gravitated to two subversive social organizations: VISTA (Volunteers in Service to America) and the United States Peace Corps. In VISTA the Yuletide Kid worked for the Housing Component of the Utah Migrant Council in Salt Lake City. In the Peace Corps he appears to have taught college English in Thonburi, Thailand then middle school in Apia, (Western) Samoa, though no documentation or eyewitness has surfaced to verify this. Next, the Yuletide Kid supposedly taught high school and college English in Thailand, China, and Japan, though again there is no evidence to prove this. Ultimately the Yuletide Kid's curiosity got the better of him. He married, had two children, and became at best redundant. |
