>>On what grounds? That's ridiculous....
Take another look at your Santa in that light: doesn't he look a bit suspect as he paws at your daughter and sneers at you?
(a helpful contribution from a one whose daughters definitely are too old for Santa)
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
