Since I am writing about the season let me point out something that most people miss. Santa Claus must be a woman. How can this be?
First of all, it helps if you live in the People’s Republik of Kaliforino. English is almost a second language here. It might actually be third or fourth, but who’s counting. You pick up a bit of knowledge in this atmosphere. One of the things you learn is that Spanish has masculine and feminine endings to words.
The masculine word for saint is “san.” Thus we have San Francisco, San Bernardino, San Gabriel. The feminine word is “santa.” Thus we have Santa Barbara and Santa Ana. Now, put two and two together. Santa Claus uses the feminine ending, thus Santa Claus must be a woman.
It seems to simple when you think about it.
Now who is going to tell Mrs. Claus?

Yeah, and when you throw in the beard, it either cements the idea that "he's" a cross-dresser, or a good candidate for a side-show!
ReplyDeleteI knew there was something I didn't like about that guy.
ReplyDeleteGeorges, You forgot to add, "Not that there is anything wrong with that." Or did you forget?
ReplyDeleteRalph, I may be one of the reasons that a lot of kids cry when forced to sit on his lap at the mall.
Grace and peace.
