If you think about it (per the song) Santa was a terrible manager. He let the other reindeer bully Rudolf all year and never intervened. Then when it got bad (foggy) he manipulates Rudolf into saving the company’s bacon and all the brown-nosing reindeer jump on that parade. How much do you want to bet that they were back to bulling Rudolf the next day and Santa never addressed the serious issue of workplace harassment? (And let’s not even start with the labour force issues with the elves. Bet OSHA never even got in the front door of that workshop).
Rudolph just got wise and turned biggly corporate for a few of somebody’s billionaire friends. Why should they not get those donations meant to help those who in a fair and decent and gasp! dare I say truly Christian society would have their needs met to give them a decent basic life by that society if they were not able to get their on their own? Those dollars were simply being wasted on “suckers and losers” who have been dumb enough to have served or worked their whole lives as TFG will happily tell you. It is the new Trickle Up economy. Try it! You will soon see how Society can gain from your generosity. That would only be Society and never society of course but that is a subtle difference the suckers and losers could not be capable of understanding. Love those undereducated!
The true story of Rudolph, as written by Bob May a copywriter for Montgomery Ward is about his own childhood as the only Jewish kid in the neighborhood & how he was bullied for that.
The last time I played Father Christmas I stood outside a department store. A gang of kids came over and mugged me. And knocked my reindeer to the floor. They said “Father Christmas, give us some money. Don’t mess around with those silly toys. We’ll beat you up if you don’t hand it over. We want your bread so don’t make us annoyed. Give all the toys to the little rich boys.”
Random attack by an animal identified as a “high jumping reindeer” in what has been called a “not-so-random targeting of street Santas…” more from Randal Rifkin at News Central.
You do have to wonder what makes a “nose so red”. We do know what it was with W. C. Fields.
This reminds me of the recent news story which tells of a Thai monastery that was closed down after all the monks tested positive for “meth”. Changing times.

It was Comet. He framed Rudolf so he could be in the lead and not looking at reindeer rears.

The there’s Alfred, the Red A$$3D antelope.
He had a very shiny A$$
And, if you ever saw it
You would say it’s made of brass
Santa eventually asked him to be his back-up light.
