Santa Sneak

Jolly Old Saint or Criminally Inclined? by Heather Brisco

Santa...That jolly old man in the red suit is not so innocent, a holiday once for sharing and good deeds is now for marketing and greed! Is santa really that innocent though? I mean really think about this...Back then he was a helpful and discreet man, who cherished children.  Now though we would try him and he might get twenty to life for our "saint" is a career criminal.
 
It started with noticing the children..perhaps feeling sorry for them, or just a desire to make them happy for a lack in his own character. He began listening and peeping into their windows at night... so our santa is a stalker, and a peeping tom! a repeat offender at that! (well how else does he keep track whether you have been naughty or nice, asleep or awake?)

Those somewhat petty and misdameaner crimes was not enough for our master sneak...He decided to move to the big leagues with breaking and entering, on a global level. That not enough, feeling sorry for his crimes or perhaps in the want to bring joy into others lives...he leaves little gifts for those he visits yearly and since carting and hauling them around takes so much effort and energy he snacks on his way out..milk for strong bones and sugar in the form of cookies to sustain him till his long journey is done.
 

Over the years our mystery man marries, has children of his own... hires others that are of his persuasion. people who love to spy and calculate all those who have been naughty and nice, cataloguing their results and to assuage there somewhat guilty feelings craft good things for those who manage to remain in the good coloumn.

Yet is the santa spree of crime abated? Or is he secretly a pediphile, or want to be one? he surrounds himselves with little people who look like children and constantly ask other kids to sit in his lap...Perhaps santa is no saint after all.....
