Did you know that Santa’s blogging this year, and he’s planning to podcast next year? Dave Fleet, who listed what he’d do if he were Santa’s PR guy, directed me to Santa’s blog. Check it out and see if YOUR eyes don’t twinkle!
The list of 100 things about Santa is pretty funny, and it mentions something I ran across recently while editing a client’s newsletter. A headline referred to a “holiday tree,” and I suggested that if it was decorated, as it was, for Christmas, it was actually a Christmas tree. Santa agrees:
“37. It’s a Christmas Tree. Not a Holiday Tree. I’m not (a) offended by your holiday symbols nor am I (b) attempting to take over your holiday symbols. Please leave mine alone. It’s a matter of respect.”
Also funny:
“23. I have been stuck in a chimney. More times than I care to admit. Blitzen carries retrieval equipment in the sleigh.”
Is Santa Canadian? Hmm, he mentions having “replenishment centers,” not “centres” to cover up, but there’s an “eh” in there that makes me wonder.
If you’re celebrating Christmas, I hope it’s a merry one. And let’s hope you’ve been good, because Santa reads every name on the naughty list!

I am shamed, yes, shamed by your mention of the holiday tree. It won’t happen again.
Not to worry – if it made Santa’a list, you are far from the only one to let it go!
