Santa Denial

Despite all the evidence, it is shocking to see that there are a growing number of Santa deniers out there. These are the folk that, despite all the modelling evidence to the contrary, firmly believe there is no Santa.

On today of all days, the Santa deniers refuse to acknowledge that Santa Claus is coming to town, having made his list and checked it twice. Santa deniers probably knows they’ve been naughty not nice.

Whilst reputable agenda-less very serious organisations of science, war and truth like NASA, NORAD and Google actually provide real time Santa-tracking, and 97% of parents with young children agree that Father Christmas exists, there are still a vocal minority who insist there is no Santa. These are like the climate deniers who don’t accept that there’s a climate or something like that. Or they deny that man is to blame for something climate or weather related, whatever it is. It doesn’t matter what it is, they are to blame and we’re all going to die.

Anyway, back to Santa and those who deny him.

What exactly is it that makes the Santa deniers tick? It is thought that possibly they had a disturbed childhood full of disappointment and cynicism. Maybe they are mentally ill, or just can’t understand the science of getting down chimneys and into everybody’s homes at more or less the exact same time. Some Santa deniers even question how he gets into homes with no chimney at all, when logical questioning like that is not acceptable.

Everybody knows that Santa exists, and yet Santa deniers sit there behind their computer screens trolling the world with their views that are outside the norm.

Isn’t it about time Santa deniers were banned from broadcast media and were forbidden from making comments on Santa discussion websites?

Meanwhile, to all those who don’t need a frontal lobotomy, the true believers, I hope Santa brought you all you hoped for this morning.
