…”the easiest most irresponsible way out of a mess…”

Boy this sounds a lot like the government to me, Dylan. Heaven help us!

Santa has been fat since the 1800’s. And if they want to blame obesity on Christmas, lets talk about the feasts we have every year. This is just another example of adults calling kids irresponsible and then taking the easiest, most irresponsible way out of a mess, thereby making it worse. It’l never end.

But like you said, he brings families together and promotes fun and laughter. Good can always come out of less than ideal situations!

(Great link to the Post article by the way). I LOVE Santa. I remember my despair when I found out the truth. But as the oldest I still had to “pretend”.

I still thought it was great. Santa brings families together, encourages sharing, and promotes fun and laughter. I loved it as a kid and I still love it now. I’ll always believe in Santa! :0)

Better than diet pills and fasting for sure!

I, too, started laughing when I was reading it. However, about this whole Santa Claus losing weight thing – are people so afraid of change they have to blame SANTA??? I’m with Jason. Get a life, get out and play instead of sitting at the computer all day. Better yet, do what I did recently and get a puppy! They are guaranteed to get you moving and out into the world. I’ve lost 25 lbs so far and intend to lose more while I walk and play with my “little tornado” Pointer puppy.

Probably because it’s not far off from the truth!

The same thing happened to the Little Chef – someone suggested (for a joke, it might be added) that the chef was a bit tubby, and the company decided they were right. He got his belly back after customer complaints, though.
