I guess Santa is a busy guy. In addition to overseeing the elf toy-making operations, and keeping a nice/naughty tally of every dang child, he's also been busy elsewhere. Joining PETA protests, visiting hospitals, participating in pub crawls, running up buildings--I hope he takes the whole of January off or he's gonna burn out. I mean, he probaby gets like, two hours sleep, tops.

I'm not even a huge Santa fan (sacrilegious, I know) but I enjoyed this Santa slideshow. It's nice to keep up on Santa's activities and to see how that big red suit gets used for all kinds of things. For those who celebrate such things, Merry Christmas to you and yours.
