I think he's human, and has enslaved the elf race o.0

Oh yeah, I'm in the spirit can't you tell?

And another thing: Do you call your grandmother "meemaw?"

Because if you do...that's just creepy, 'cause that's what I call my grandmother...

i think santa is a human, too, but my dad and my grndmother both sat that he's an elf because of the line in " the night before Christmas" where they are describing santa as a" jolly old elf". i still think he's human. if was an elf wouldn't he have pointy ears?

and yes i do call my grandmother "meemaw". khira said that you call your grandma that, too. i wonder where that name originated. kinda weird. i mean how many other "meemaws" have you heard of? crazy.

i suppose you could make a case for santa being human if you went with the origination of the name santa "claus" - there was a dude that was rich and went around throwing gifts over the walls of poor people's houses during the night - it is thought that he's where the name "santa claus" comes from. he was a real dude - therefore not an elf.

however - there's way too much stuff that we take as "fact" from the tnbc poem to ignore the reference to him being an elf in the pseudo-imaginary representation of santa. he smokes a pipe. he's fat. he's got a rudolph-like nose. and, he doesn't say "merry christmas" but opts for the less-familiar "happy christmas" terminology.

so there. santa 101.

and why do you continue to even ask about this, tori? haven't you learned in 15 years that dad is right 99.999999% of the time? (there was that one time.... an anomaly of the most freakish sort.)

Jean Ohlerking said...

here in swaziland and southern parts of africa the greeting is "happy christmas."

sometimes i think santa is all that tnbc says...especiallly on christmas eve.

but it's just the pretending fun part.

i do hope the santa part NEVER takes over the reality of Jesus coming and our celebration of that wonderful event.

I think he is a half-elf.

Jason Guidry said...

So as a half-elf, does he get the cool night-infravision that the elves have, able to dual-class, and have the height, stength, and variety of classes as the human?

Gah! Too many role playing games for me!
