Oh Santa! where art thou?

   This Slate article on [1]Being Santa Claus gets nearly every detail
   wrong. I know, because for two years, I was Santa...

   Once upon a time, I was seeing a girl who was doing some holiday work
   at the local mall. In my then-usual all-black,
   chains-and-knives-dangling-from-my-sides attire, I met her for lunch.
   It was when heading back to the parking lot that I passed by the Santa
   booth. Being a major Sci-Fi geek, I had a sudden mental image of how
   cool it might be to play an elf, and asked if they were hiring...

   "Wouldn't you rather be Santa" asked the cute young girl in a small
   skirt? no, I want to play an elf. but I need the money "Sure. If
   you're hiring for Santa, who wouldn't?"

   10 minutes later I was in a Santa suit with an 8 year old kid on my
   knee saying "Ho Ho Ho". [2]Ho Ho Ho
