Santa's got to be a woman!

Hmm... Have you ever wondered that Santa might actually be a woman? All things considered, that's quite a plausible idea...


Santa might be a woman because...


Christmas is a big, warm, organized, nurturing social deal. Could a guy possibly pull it all off?

Majority of guys don't even think about selecting gifts until the last moment, that is until Christmas Eve. They wake up slowly and go to the nearest store where they join other males in a desperate last-minute shopping spree. If Santa was a man, probably everyone in the universe would find a pair of socks under the christmas tree...



It would be a problem for a he-Santa to get anywhere on time... Even if he managed to keep some reindeer alive, he'd still have transportation problems because he would get lost in the snow and clouds and then refuse to stop and ask for directions... Well, ok... he might use a sat nav...




Men can't pack presents... or at least they hate doing it...




Men would rather be dead than caught wearing red velvet




Men don't answer their mail




Men aren't interested in stockings unless somebody's wearing them




Being responsible for Christmas would require a commitment




Well, you decide what gender Santa might be. I guess as long as he/she brings presents on time, his/her gender doesn't really matter, or does it?

:)

Merry Christmas to you all and have a happy New Year!
