ok yes I personally strongly believe that Santa is just an exaggerated metaphor for commodity fetishism, given the extent to which material objects apparently magically arrive without any indication of the labor involved in producing and distributing them

In our family, gifts came from Mr&Mrs Claus, Rudolf, and the elves 😉

just posted a great comic about this. I like the idea of gifts being from the elves themselves, that's cool!

And I thought it was b/c my parents were Jewish atheists rather than pinko labor activists. (On second thought, that's just one big circle on the Venn diagram.)
