Santa? What gives...

I set out on a quest a few weeks ago to put Christmas back in the hearts of those who were missing it.  It was a daunting task, but it some small ways I think I have accomplished said goal.  I mean the plant manager gave us all Christmas gifts.  The gifts actually play Christmas songs.  There was no Christmas in that man’s heart whatsoever.  So in that respect, it has worked.

It also was the catalyst behind a small group of people whom I like to call “Holiday Cheer for All the Year.”   The goal is to get together once every other week, you know to spread cheer.  Laugh at one another.  Laugh at other people.  Talk about anything and everything.  Mostly we just laugh, which is the whole point of the group.  We have had so much fun that we are having Holiday Cheer all year, as there are plenty of holidays.  Some nights though, I have too much Holiday Cheer and then it makes for a very long day the next day.

Last night’s topics of discussion covered a plethora of things.  For instance, my blog.  Another discussion was how Santa handles gifts at your house.  For example, does he wrap them?  Are they under the tree?  Are they separated in a different part of the room?  Does he not wrap them?  How many does he give? 

It was actually a very interesting conversation because everyone’s answers were quite different.  At some houses he leaves the presents unwrapped, but at some he does not?  Some houses he leaves them under the tree and some they are off to the side.  Some houses he uses special Santa wrapping paper.  At some houses, there are more presents from Santa then there are from the parents.

So all of this begs the question…just what the heck is Santa’s deal?  There is no rhyme or reason.  No method to his madness.  No consistency. 

So, someone, please, feel free to enlighten me on the proper Santa Claus present leaving etiquette.   And just how he decides at which house he is going to do what?
