Or “Adults who think kids believe in Santa Claus”
New Wikilieaks documents reveal Santa’s secrets. Among other things, he pays his elves in candy canes, then denies them dental coverage.
> pays his elves in candy canes, then denies them dental coverage
Hey! That’s one of the major sub-plots of the TV-special “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer”. Remember the elf Hermey, who is an outcast because he wanted to be a dentist? Quite a racket “Santa” has going there…
Gee.
Shouldn’t the axes be switched? As more kids believe in Santa, more retail sales are made?
Think of it this way. Belief comes from the evidence of toys under the tree. No sales, no toys, no belief in Santa. The sales are causing increasing belief. A good venn diagram to go with this would be milk and cookies paired with breaking and entering. Santa Clause or Cookie Crisp Wolf.
I wonder what is the average age that kids stop believing in Santa. I remember when I was young my mom made me call one of those 976 numbers to “tell santa” what I wanted for xmas. . Of course it was a recording that I was told to leave a message about what I wanted for xmas, then I guess my mom would then retrieve the information at a later time. Unfortunately she told me that I would “talk to Santa” so I kept calling because I wanted to speak to the man himself. I got screamed at and I think it was soon after that that I stopped believing in Santa.
