Explain this holiday to me now, please. You know the one. The one with snow and trees and overweight men in bad suits with worse facial hair. I'm new! I don't know these things!

Oh, okay. You all worship the baby.

Do you know how it fits into the cola salesman?

Well, the baby grew up and became this saviour type. So yeah, they all worship the baby, essentially. Me? Not so much. I'm not from around here.

As for the cola salesman, I think what Tara was trying to say is that the holiday has become extremely corporate, and that Santa is an emblem of that.

You, either, huh? How do you know all of this?

Oh, okay. So Santa Cola is a corporate pusher.

I like humans, even though I act like a jerkwad about them on occasion. I've spent a LOT of time on Earth throughout time.

And...er...these days, yeah.

((ooc: No, it's even worse than that. Santa Claus did not canonically wear red suits with white fur until Coca-Cola started drawing him that way in ads. Word.))
