Yep, Santa Claus.
Don't misunderstand, I love Christmas and all things Christmas-related. But I don't want to have to try to explain to a kid for about 7 or 8 years that some fluffy dude with a beard and a red suit drops off toys to every kid in the world on one night out of the year, and then have to tell them that I lied to them for 7 or 8 years.
Lying aside, there's the explanations. Why Santa is a movie star. Why Santa is at the mall. How Santa can be at all of the malls. How Santa fits down the chimney. How Santa makes it to all of the houses in one night. How Santa gets into homes without chimneys. How Santa makes reindeer fly. How Santa can eat all those cookies without getting sick. And the list goes on.
Well, at least the Salvation Army stopped using people dressed up as Santa. One less question to answer- why Santa is begging in front of WalMart like a homeless person.
