Size zero santa

Santa Claus was greatly disturbed. Everyone was getting fitter and younger. Chubby was out, lean mean and thin was in. What could a Santa do then.

He called everyone he knew, all elves, and even Fred his brother. Fred told him, "See Nicolas the thing is that you find it hard each year to keep your schedule as you are fat. Many kids dont get their gifts and are disappointed."

Nicolas aka Santa " But Chirtmas is about Jesus. Its not about gifts."

Fred "Yeah and Football is about kicking the ball and not about winning right! come on grow up Nicolas"

Nicolas " So what should I do"

Fred "Lets have a 30 day programme to get you fit. It would increase your popularity and make you more effective. More children will get gifts and there will be more love in the world"

Ok.

So Fred Supervised Santas work outs. Santa ran, Santa hit the gym, Santa ate oats for breakfast and the result.

Santa was thin.

So what happened next.

Well Christmas came and Kids got their gifts and a few naughty ones who stood wake up late caught a glimpse of Santa.

They were  kids who were disappointed when Santa did not touch milk and cookies.


And the love. The more kids got love (gifts) but that was not enough to have real love. Who cared for chirstmas. As Santa sat with charts and figures (yeah Santa does a nice Power point later) later he wondered if his make over did anything good.

And he realized that goodness or values cant be forced like outwardly things like fitness or image. It has to be from within. And that is when Santa decided to work on how to make himself more relevant. He was already thin. This made him look and even think like a young person. (Never ask Santa his age!)

So Santa decided to work for people through out the year. Help them out as a stranger. Be a angel to a person in need. He did it in many countries.

Eventually he no longer went around as Santa on Christmas. People still remembered him though and kids still got gifts (from their parents ) but still they credited Santa.

When some one says that Santa doesn't exist. That someone is wrong. Santa is the stranger who helps you unexpectedly many times over in life. Remember that and Merry Christmas.
