Christmastime is Watch Mother of Mine Onlinehere. Happiness and cheer. And sexual harassment and assault and NFL anthem protests and chronic traumatic encephalopathy. Everything in the news was coming out of Santa's bag on tonight's Saturday Night Livecold open, and if their questions were any indication, the kids are not all right.
Precious cherub No. 1 asked Santa (Kenan Thompson) for some toys, a laser tag game, the usual. Then he asked, "What did Al Franken do?"
Oh boy.

"It's not really a list, it's more of a registry," elf Kate McKinnon clarified.

The next inquisitive little girl picked right up where the previous child left off. Kids asked about President Trump's sexual harassment accusations, taxes, talked about the coal industry, and shared what wonderful lessons they've learned, just from watching the news.
"I learned that if you admit that you did something wrong, you get in trouble. But if you deny it, they let you keep your job!"
Yes, little girl. Something like that.
A boy who wanted a football also wanted to know why NFL players kneeled during the national anthem.
"They're just kneeling because they're tired," Santa demurred.
"From all the brain injuries?"
"Yes, we'll go with that. Somehow that's the happiest version."
Maybe the point SNLwriters were trying to make here is that kids are exposed to too much. Maybe it's that the world is crazy, and it's tough for all of us to answer the hard questions we know young people have.
The one ray of sunshine in the sketch was a girl's inability to pronounce the enlightened Conservative portmanteau, "Libtard," try as her little heart might. Maybe there's hope for the children yet.
