I don't really give a crap, but it was really strange to find that on Christmas morning one of the first things my mother and fiancee saw was an open beaver shot on the Cellar.

Well, at least he tagged it NSFW, or did someone else add that?

And why does it take you three clicks?

We used to leve out a shot of whiskey and a mince pie, with a carrot for Rudolph. Children believe what you tell them, might as well make it worthwhile.

Sorry, I honestly wasn't sure whether you were joking, otherwise I would have been less offhand about it.

Personally I trust snopes - they include details and source material. In this case icubed (who I admit I have never read before) simply states "Prior to Sundblom's first rendition in 1931, people envisioned Santa Claus as leprechaun-like, or as a queer mixture of a gnome and a bishop."

I find "people" to be quite a sweeping statement - snopes provides specific examples which disprove this generalisation: 1841 - full sized Santa hired for outside shop; Nast's 1881 Merry Old Santa Claus like the modern Santa; Louis Prang's 1885 card featuring a red suited chubby Santa; New York Times report of 1927 stating that the height, weight and dress are standardised.

Just seems more comprehensive to me.
