  Who’s the guy in the old-timey photo? I wish there were something pointing out who it is; totally confused here.

      So then he's a capitalist, all about consumption.

    Santa is the most communist of communists; giving gifts to all children just for being “good”.

    This is how I started questioning the existence of Santa, even kids I knew were little bastards got all the good gifts.
