Magic


WHAT?! You Mean He's Not Real?

In the Western world, there is no character nor concept more magical than Santa Claus. Santa Claus personifies magic more than any Las Vegas casino act. Throughout the year, he has the power to document all those that are good and bad. Every Christmas season, he magically appears at malls and parades across the world; sometimes being in more than two places at a time! Criss Angel has nothing on him. And when was the last time you saw David Blaine sailing a sleigh across the sky on Christmas Eve, propelled not by petrol or propane mind you, but by reindeer... reindeer! Then he goes onto chute down every chimney in the world, delivering to kids the exact presents they wanted.

All these things are truly magical, but the real magic of Santa Claus lies in how parents have the heart (or lack thereof) to lie to their own children and claim Santa Claus is real; only for them to crush that magic 17 years later. Mom and dad thanks for making this past Christmas the least magical of them all.
