has anybody actually sat down and thought about the idea of santa?
basically an overly-jolly (liquored up?), overly-fat man dresses up in a red and white fur suit he found at a thrift store and proceeds to give every good child in the world something made out of wood and glue that he snapped together in his garage.
his transportation? a pack of deer that were, at some point, domesticated and live off of pixie dust and happy thoughts. the pack leader is a scrawnier deer with a cold (red nosed). santa's cart is a red model-T with the roof hacked off with its wheels traded in for skis.
our holiday hero is believed in by many unassuming 6-year olds, which is encouraged by their parents for reasons that nobody knows.

I guess I just thought the whole idea of santa is quite ludicrous when you actually think about it.
At any rate, Merry Christmas.

The weirdest thing about Santa, is that he was just an idea in a poem that got really popular. Yeah, poetry can change the world.
