1. Well, I hope you leave him some milk and cookies.
And make sure your chimney is cleaned out. You don't want him to get soot all over his nice red suit.

5. If you stop believing, Santa stops coming!
At least, that's the rule at our house.

7.  Top Ten Reasons Santa's Better Than God:
10. Snappier dresser

9. Doesn't demand adoration

8. Doesn't condemn you to everlasting hellfire if you've been bad - just leaves coal

7. Elf helpers are funner than angels

6. Reindeer fly w/o wings - too cool!

5. Doesn't impregnate virgins (oh I hope there's no tabloid story waiting on that one)

4. There's no proof there's a heaven, but there really is a North Pole

3. No fundie followers trying to convert you to Kringleism

2. Has never had a war fought in his name

...and the #1 reason Santa Is Better Than God:

Santa songs generally have a good beat and you can dance to them

10. Great!
Thanks!

This reminds me of one of the things I hate the most at Christmas -- when I see a Christmas card or other illustration with Santa on his knees praying or Santa with a cross. They can't even leave our "secular" icons alone! (How secular can someone named "St. Nick" be?)

8. Honorable, no one ever died for Santa.
Well maybe Rudolph, damn Santa driving that sled three sheets to the wind. Poor little guy, couldn't make out that red nose with all the blood.

Don't Drink and Drive, A message from Radd. Reindeer against drunk driving.:evilgrin:
