Funny Santa Quotes

Alas! How dreary would be the world if there was no Santa Claus!… There
would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable
this existence.  Francis P. Church

10 Of the Best Citations About Santa Claus

1. You better watch out
   You better not cry
   Better not pout
   I’m telling you why
   Santa Claus is coming to town. Haven
   Gillespie
2. All the world is happy when Santa Claus comes.  Maud
   Lindsay
3. Christmas at my house is always at least six or seven times more
   pleasant than anywhere else. We start drinking early. And while everyone
   else is seeing only one Santa Claus, we’ll be seeing six or seven.
   WC Fields
4. I stopped believing in Santa Claus when I was six. Mother took me to
   see him in a department store and he asked for my autograph. 
   Shirley Temple
5. In this age of instant coffee, overnight rush deliveries, and
   30-second media sound bites, it’s not surprising that children have
   discovered that their letters to Santa Claus can be sent by email.
   Patrick Flaherty
6. The myth of Santa has grown to gigantic proportions. He is able to
   know all, to judge each and every child, to make reindeer fly and do all
   these things at the North Pole! Obviously Santa has slowly taken the
   place of God, doing things which only God can do. Unfortunately, this
   “god” is a legalistic “god”, dispensing gifts only upon those who
   deserve them.  John L. Hoh [Junior]
   
7. I hear how kids wise up to the Santa Claus routine but pretend
   otherwise because the goods seem connected to keeping their parents’
   fantasies flowing. I’ve seen the parents trying to pretend for the same
   reason – not because otherwise the gifts stop, but to maintain the
   innocence a little longer – even when both sides know the other side
   knows.  Carol Bonomo
8. Santa Claus is anyone who loves another and seeks to make them
   happy; who gives himself by thought or word or deed in every gift that
   he bestows; who shares his joys with those who are sad; whose hand is
   never closed against the needy; whose arm is ever outstretched to aid
   the week; whose sympathy is quick and genuine in time of trouble; who
   recognizes a comrade and brother in every man he meets upon life’s
   common road; who lives his life throughout the entire year in the
   Christmas spirit.  Edward Osgood Grover
9. I never believed in Santa Claus because I knew no white dude would
   come into my neighbourhood after dark. Dick Gregory
10. When I found out that Santa Claus wasn’t real, I wasn’t upset;
    rather, I was relieved that there was a much simpler phenomenon to
    explain how so many children all over the world got presents on the same
    night! The story had been getting pretty complicated – it was getting
    out of hand. R. Feynman

Santa Claus The God – Passage By
Donald E. Weslake

Santa Claus is a god. He’s no less a god than Ahura Mazda, or Odin, or
Zeus.  Think of the white beard, the chariot pulled through the air by
a breed of animal which doesn’t ordinarily fly, the prayers [requests for
gifts] which are annually mailed to him and which so baffle the Post Office,
the specially-garbed priests in all the department stories.  And don’t
gods reflect their creators’ society?  The Greeks had a huntress
goddess, and gods of agriculture and war and love.  What else would we
have but a god of giving, of merchandising, and of consumption?

Donald E. Westlake

Golden Santa – Reference From Japan

This pure gold
statue of Santa Claus weights 20 kilos, Santa even has 10 gold coins in his belt. It was created by Ginza Tanaka and is offered on sale for 200 million yen ($1.8 million).  Tanaka’s company took 3 months to
fashion the statue. Rumour has it that he created 2 or even 3 of these pure gold Santas.  It is difficult to judge its size from the picture, but
Santa stands about 40 centimetres, those lucky enough to live in
Tokyo can see the statue in the Shinsaibashi district of Osaka.

Santa Claus Booked – “Ridiculous” Says Politician

Santa Claus received a parking ticket from a Brooklyn jobsworth.

Word has reached Will and Guy that a New York parking official has
penalised Santa Claus for a parking offence while delivering his presents to
needy children. Father Christmas [aka Chip Cafiero, a retired schoolteacher]
received the $115 USD ticket in Brooklyn.  Apparently he shouted to the
official, ‘Ho! Ho! Ho!’ but he was completely ignored.

Santa claims that his horse-drawn carriage and a SUV carrying the toys
was not causing an obstruction.  We are not able to raise a comment
from the police but a local politician has said the parking ticket is
‘ridiculous.’

Footnote:
On hearing the news that that the D.A. is
called Mary Christmas, Guy has taken the odds of 6 to 4 that Santa beats the
rap.

Santa and The Train Set

While working in a store as Santa Claus, I had lots of boys ask me for an
electric train set. “If you get your train,” I would tell each one, “you
know your dad is going to want to play with it too.  Is that okay?”

The usual answer was a quick yes, but after I asked one boy this
question, he became very quiet.  Trying to move the conversation along,
I asked what else he would like Santa to bring him.

He promptly replied, “Another train.”

Other Names for Santa Claus

While it is true that the name Santa Claus was an American ‘invention’ sometime before 1870.  The
original name for the ‘figure’ associated with the mid-winter festival was
Saint Nicholas, or St. Nick.  Other languages have variations or
translations of Saint Nicolas, for example, Père No�l, Papa Noel, Babbo
Natale, Papai Noel, Father Christmas, and Kris Kringle.

Santa Claus and Coca
Cola – The Urban Myth

A popular urban myth is that back in 1928 Coca Cola invented Santa Claus.
What fuels this myth is that his red coat matches perfectly the Coca Cola
livery.

The truth is that while early Santa Claus often wore green, Santa Claus
in red was established by the 1860s, long before Coca Cola was invented.

Santa Sacked for Smacking Boy

A Santa Claus is facing the sack from a Dutch shopping centre after he smacked a young boy for pulling his beard.

Peter Hendriks hit the boy on the backside in front of dozens of shoppers in the town of
Rijswijk. Defending his actions, he said: ‘If I hadn’t
done that, he would have pulled off my beard and dozens of children would have been traumatised.’
