To borrow from a favorite,
Yes, HAMMY, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus. It would be as dreary as if there were no HAMMYS. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which your antics fills the world would be extinguished.

Let’s see, how does that go? Oh, got it: “Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive.”

In a mall in Texas, some a-hole pastor started yelling about how Santa wasn’t real and parents should stop lying to their kids about him. Got shot down (not literally, amazingly) by some dads waiting with their kids.

Left out the Coke advertising department who used corporate colors of red and white clothes on Santa who previously was only B&W or dressed in nature colors of greens and browns.Raise the kids to know the history and symbolism of Santa and there will be no shock from mallwalk orators, and won’t diminish things from the kids’ viewpoint.
