Santa Claus is (roughly) 1700 years old. He's changed dramatically over time, from his original name of St. Nikolaos of Myra to the guy we see in department stores and selling Coke on TV.
So it was only a matter of time before the A-word caught up with him, too.
Before the rest of Christmas becomes 'artisanal', I can verify that this year's White House Christmas tree actually came from a non-artisanal tree farm less than ten miles from where I live.
Sheesh. What OTHER assaults do we have to protect Christmas from?
This blog is entirely for entertainment purposes. All posts about patients, or my everyday life, or anything else may be fictional, or be my experience, or were submitted by a reader, or any combination of the above. Factual statements may or may not be accurate. I could be making all this up. I may not even be a doctor. The only true statement on here is that I probably drink more Diet Coke than you do. A lot more.

So we shouldn't expect him to make the gift suggestions list for 2011?
Is he also organic?
Artisanal: handmade by a skilled manual worker or craftsperson.
Anything mass-produced on an assembly line (such as this Santa) would be excluded by this definition.
Hand crafted Resin and Polyester?
Za?
You can't spell artisanal without anal.
It's the same size as an American Girl doll. Just sayin'.
Good. Grief.
A "worldly" Santa. How nice...
Well, at least they admit it.
