Santa is neither black nor white. December 16, 2013 2:33 pm ER

In fact there is no Santa, he’s an imaginary dude, a fictitious person, someone who supposedly visits every home in the world on one night of the year, on a flying sleigh loaded with billions of presents, pulled by reindeer. Give me a break. I stopped believing that crap by the time I was five years old.

Besides, everyone knows that the presents are actually delivered on 6 Jan, The Feast of the Epiphany, by the Three Wise Men, who ride into town sensibly on camels. Incidentally, one of them IS black–that is, one of the Wise Men is black. The camels are taupe.

You gringos are ridiculous, regardless of your race. But have a Happy Holiday anyway.
