The Santa Claus Theories...

The Santa Claus Theories….


While watching the world news I watched some stories I could have sworn was written by certain bloggers. The story was covering the Santa Clause theory. Now the jolly ole St. Nick is not as jolly as he used to be according to some people.

There were several press releases that uncovered the new Santa Clause theory.
Seems poor ole’ St. Nick is now the blame of scaring children and the international problem for weight gain in younger children.



According to the new theory, it’s got to be Santas fault. After all, he likes to eat cookies and drink milk. What else could be the cause of children becoming overweight? Certainly not the parents fault for the food provided or the lack of dietary control or the lack of outdoor activities.

I mean who else could be the blame, one night a year Santa likes to eat billions of cookies and drink hundreds of gallons of milk, all in one night. It’s got to be his fault. Interesting enough the new theory failed to mention his dietary habits during the rest of the year. They said it’s got to be his fault, he is fat after all.

Now we cannot completely fault the parents, after all we are well into the digital age and even the kids now think they need cell phones and computers and several game stations for the TV in their room and on line. All the new toys companies and gamers are right on top of the marketing to help the parents out in keeping the kids at home, inside and out of trouble.



It seems some want to change the image of Santa all together. They want the new and improved Santa to be skinny. They think he needs to tone done so the children will not want to grow up in his image.

WOW… They are concerned with a fat guy being Santa, but one of the new games available, you can actually scan your faces into the characters and as you blow up the cops and other players you are looking at their actual face. But, it’s all got to be the fat guys fault.

It seems some want to make this the standard. Regardless of what happens, who can we blame for what happened? How about Ole’ St. Nick? He is the next victim of people failing to accept personal responsibility. Would be interesting if Ole’ St. Nick could post a blog about this topic.

I would hope that instead of blaming Santa because of an overweight child, the parents (or legal guardian) could take some personal responsibility. Someone had to give the child the cookies and milk and for some reason, I don’t think they can blame Santa for that.

It goes right back to the new standard, something happened, who can we blame to place blame on someone else other than the actual responsible parties.

What a wonderful world we live in.

Then while I was searching for the news story on theory of Santa being the cause of weight gain, I ran into yet another disturbing story about Santa.

It seems now there have been some people offended by Ho, Ho, Ho. Wonder why someone would be offended by the word HO.

Once again, maybe they should look back at the personal responsibility, don’t like the line of work you are in, change jobs. Sometimes the truth does hurt.

It seems they think the children are scared by the Ho, Ho, Ho…
Australia’s Santas in training have already been told to tone it down. They are now asking that instead of the time honored traditional Ho, Ho, Ho the Santa should now say Ha, Ha, Ha.

They are in hopes no one will be offended by the Ha, Ha, Ha. They also think that the new Ha, Ha, Ha will help the children cope with fear while visiting Santa once a year and hearing him scream out, Ho, Ho, Ho.

This article went on to interview Santa training academies and what they thought. It was unanimous they thought the people making these claims are wrong.

The article went one step further and interviewed some children and seems they all want to hear the Ho, Ho, Ho. That’s what Santa is supposed to say according to the children interviewed.







It should be interesting to say the least when Christmas roles around and to find out if the new Santa Theory will have any effect on the Ho, Ho, Ho.
