This is a given. Whether it was sitting down to scrawl an unintelligible Christmas letter or the thrill of visiting the bloated old drunkard at a grotto, nothing instils true meaning of Christmas like St Nick. That is to say, for 90% of the worlds kiddie population Santa Claus IS Christmas. Some kids think Christmas Day is actually Santas birthday which is something everyone should get on board with. This is an enigmatic bloke who gives you presents, flies, is capable of astonishing feats of magic and has a mysteriously friendly relationship with your parents. And aside from doing your utmost to not be an annoying little terror for the majority of the year, all you have to do is believe in him and hell fetch you toys. Its no wonder kids deify him. As an adult, its truly soul-destroying to know that Christmas will never ever be that simple. And if you believe it is, youre not well and probably count down to it using the word sleeps.
