Santa Is a Big Fat Fake!

It's that time of year for children around the world to write their wish lists to Santa in the hope that on Christmas morning they will get what there hearts desire (materialistic little sods).

But when you look at things is the idolising and hero worship that kids give Santa really justified, or his he selling them an idea which is quite a long way from the truth?

First there are the Christmas lists, which Santa reads and decides who has been naughty and nice. But is that really fair, I mean who is he to judge kids like that and what about a fair trial, innocent until proven guilty or the right of appeal?

Then there are the presents. It's not like he makes them himself is it? No, instead he exploits low cost immigrant labourers, who work in sweatshop conditions for next to no pay. And if they complain he can always fire them and out-sourse the whole operation to China instead.

Then you have Santa complaining about how hard he works to deliver all the presents to the childern of the world on Christmas Night. But hang on, it's not like he has to bother with the Jews, Muslims, Sikhs, or in fact any other non-Christian Religion. That narrows things down quite a lot. Then of course in the Nordic countries Christmas Night is on the 24th so he can bag them in one night before even worrying about Britain and North America.

Then you have the time zones which means that if Santa starts in New Zealand and works his way westward, he can stretch Christmas Night on the 25th. by an extra twelve hours. And then he get to take easy until the 6th. of January before having to do Spain!!!

After all that he then takes the rest of the year off, to do God knows what. Probably living it up in some Carrabean tax haven.

So he is a fake, but like many public figures, a master of spin and has cynicaly manipulated his media image over the years and abused his monoplistic position. I think its time that the truth about Santa comes out....
