  • What Jesus Might Say to Santa Claus
    A person only has to burst out with: "Ho, Ho, Ho," and you know instantly who they are imitating. Santa Claus, Old St. Nick, Kris Kringle, Sinter Klaas are all titles we give to the omnipresent, legendary, white-bearded bringer of Christmas gifts -- the embodiment of the spirit of giving.
  • The Metaphysics of Frosty the Snowman
