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!

The chipmunks are totally new to me, but the sheep... okay, I got nothing there.

The 'portly man' is Santa Claus, or Father Christmas, depending on where you live, and he's not just a cola salesman - he's like, an overnight express delivery service for presents all over the world. But just once a year. He used to make the presents himself, but now he just distributes stuff from commercial toymakers. Kind of like the free samples you get in the mail, only wrapped up with pretty bows. And he breaks into your house to leave them there, which frankly has always creeped me out.

He breaks into homes?! To leave things?

PROFESSOR TICK, I HAVE A TOPIC FOR YOU!
