Odd News

When thinking about Santa, Rudolf, good and nasty kids, North Pole and all these kind of things which make the Christmas holiday special, I often get the feeling that something must be wrong there. I'm sure you know what I mean. Parents try to make you believe that the presents were bought to you by a fat old man who seems to be in extremely good health condition for his age /Guess he's turning at least 157 this year/ and if you ask them questions and except a rational answer, they will tell you that you are just too young to understand that sleighs can fly even without wings. Seriously worried about my mum's and dad's mental condition I decided to make a research on the made up and false stories which other parents tell their kids. Check this out! There are kids in the world who believe that Santa eats the cookies they leave for him in the living room. I am sorry to tell you guys, but this is so not true! As you all know, sweets and candies cause diabetes and Santa's doctor forbid him to eat them. It is Rudolf who enjoys the cookies every year. I was surprised to find out that many parents support their children's belief that Santa reads their letters. This used to be true, but since he can hardly see due to his old age, he hires elves and a literate polar bear to do so instead of him. As they are not precise in their work, it might happen that you will not find the present you asked for under your Christmas tree. And now the most important Santa's secret to reveal: The Sleigh. A Swedish consultancy has found out that Santa has 34 microseconds at each stop "to slide down the chimney, drop off the present, nibble on his cookies and milk"../you know the truth about the cookies/.."and hop back on his sleigh. Sounds impossible, does not it? It is indeed, it is a magic!
