Question How many Santas there are?
Answer Only one, that's me. However, there are two categories of humans who go under the name of Santa:
1. My helpers. A helper is a person who delivers the true message of Christmas and/or presents to children.
2. Fake Santas. They are either commercial or national sort and the common trait is that they convey either partially or completely false message, commercial, nationalistic etcetera. They may also claim to be the only right Santa. But they do not act in the spirit of Christ.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question Where does Santa live?
Answer In the North Pole. But do not think that this necessarily means the physical geograpic North Pole, although I have been there, too. Actually I am living now in Cyberspace mainly. This suits me enormously well. Fast and modern. And I can reach to the hearts of people more easily.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question Who are Santa's helpers?
Answer I have two kinds of spiritual helpers. Flying reindeer and elven. The Reindeer transport me and my luggage around the world. The elves help me year around to cater for my duties. My first lieutenant is my Chief Elf. Furthermore I have human helpers, people who feel the presence of the Child and Santa in their hearts.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question What are the names of the Flying Reindeer?
Answer Rudolph, Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Donder, Blitzen, Cupid and Comet. Rudolph is the lead reindeer. Donder is also known as Donner.Note that in different languages they have different names. This is English only.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question Is Rudolph's nose red?
Answer Yes, indeed it is. And it is shining, The reason to this phenomenon is unclear but we feel that He is a sensitive animal and reacts to the weather in Cyberspace.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question What about the other reindeer?
Answer Well, no red noses. But Blixen is fast and Dancer likes a little step now and then. Cupid is the humorist of the bunch. All of them are good fliers which is really essential in this business. Being magical creatures they like Internet too, BTW.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question What do the reindeer eat?
Answer Well, as I said, they are magical creatures. And they are supposed to be strictly on diet. But if you leave carrots and home made cookies (preferably made by kids) on the table for Christmas night, you will notice that they have mysteriously disappeared in the morning...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question What does Santa eat?
Answer Oh, look at my picture. I'd eat anything, including bytes and bits and get more fat, unfortunately. But if you insist, please leave an egg nogg for me for Chistmas, that'll do.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question Are you immortal?
Answer Yes I am, to a degree. If people believe in me, I exist. If there is no belief, I am discontinued. But I have seen that there are more demand on me than ever, in this everchanging and risky world.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question How old are you?
Answer Two thousand years, give or take a couple of years. When the Child was given the First Christmas Presents, I was there. And I have done my duty continuously thereafter.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question How did you get the garments?
Answer Well, by experimentation. If you look at my older pictures (elsewhere on my server) you will see that I had different types of coats and caps during the centuries. But I had a couple of gifted human helpers a little over hundred years ago and they adviced me to use red coat and cap, lined with fur (which is nowadays artificial).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question Are you Politically Correct?
Answer I do not know what you mean by that. I am not political for certain. I am not commercial either. I exist to give and to spread the ideology of mutual giving, that has been my policy for well nigh two thousand years. Giving involves taking and the kids learn that before they learn the giving part. But both actions are involved.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question How many elves there are?
Answer Well, over two hundred, altogether. Some are quite old now (they age, you know, although they do not die) and semi-retired.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question Where did the Elves and Reindeer come from?
Answer Come now, that's classified information. I can only say that in the Magical Kingdom, which is in the minds of children, there lives many kinds of beings, good and bad. My helpers are the good ones and they fight for good and some of them are very formidable indeed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question How can you deliver all the goods you are supposed to give, in one night?
Answer Well, there are local timing differences. In Europe I'll come on Christmas Eve, in America in the Night. I have my helpers. And first and foremost I have the Magic. Kids understand this naturally.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question What can we do to help you?
Answer Easy. Spread my message of giving to everyone. And follow it in your own lives. |
