There most certainly IS a Santa Claus (or Sinterklaas as he is historically known). The guardian Saint of Children threw coins down the chimneys of poor families, to prevent them from prostituting their children (or so the story goes).

When he died, they divided up his body and sent parts everywhere. As they continue to do so. Yup, even here on Long Island, New York. We've got a piece of the action.

So not only is Santa Claus real, he is everywhere and he is dead. Puts new meaning into Santa Claus is watching you, now doesn't it.

This is possible. :)

Fearing the worst, during the rest many northern hemisphere cultures have developed rituals around December 20 to cheer it up and refresh it, hoping the adulation will cause it to travel north towards its admirers with some increasing vigor."
You mean Santa Claus. I don't believe in superstition! There is no Father Christmas, no Santa Claus, and nothing will stop the Sun's march to the coordinate singularity! Doooom.... DooooooOOOOM!

I don't believe in this so-called "whisky" you speak of. It is a superstition! Another Santa Claus!! A fantasy created by the powers that be to keep the masses calm while the planet freezes solid (did I mention "Doom"?).
