CRAZY TALK

ON THE THIRTEENTH DAY OF CRANKVENT... CHRISTMAS IS SPECIEST

Why do we all assume Santa is a human? What if in fact he (or she - gender issues are a matter for another time) was a creature that combined the gift selection and present-wrapping abilities of humans and the strength, endurance and magical-delivery skills of a reindeer? What if in fact Father (or Mother) Christmas is... a SANTAUR?

It's time to take off our human-centric blinkers.
