A 68-year-old man who legally changed his name to Santa Claus has been elected to the city council in North Pole, Alaska. Congratulations, Santa Claus.

Photoshopping and airbrushing in advertisements is so ubiquitous that it's expected. But every once in awhile, an ad comes along that is so cartoonishly reliant on, uh, turning a person into a cartoon that it makes the other ads look like Dove commercials. Well, we've found that ad — and it's hilarious. Just watch.…
Fox News' Megyn Kelly is pretty annoyed about Slate writer Aisha Harris' thoughtful essay "Santa Claus Should Not Be a White Man Anymore." Her counter argument? Santa Claus — a fantasy person who doesn't actually exist — should be a white man because displaying him as otherwise would be an insult to his (again,…
Ah, folklore. The ancient art of storytelling in order to explain as-yet mysterious natural phenomena (i.e. basically every Greek myth).

Joe Lueken, the 70-year-old owner of the two Lueken's Village Foods, is retiring and leaving his business to his 400 employees. Of course, my cynical brain went straight to: This…
While installing central heating in his Dublin, Ireland home, John Byrne found a letter to Santa Claus written in 1911 by two children, 10-year-old Hannah Howard and her 7-year-old brother Fred. The children placed the letter on a shelf inside their fireplace, and miraculously it remained there for decades and was…
Last week during a geography lesson at George W. Miller Elementary School in Nanuet, NY, children in Leatrice Ann Eng's class told her that they know about the North Pole because that's where Santa Claus lives. Deciding that it was high time the second-graders faced reality, Eng informed them that Santa isn't real and…
