The standard offering around here is a couple of Cantonese spring rolls
and a bottle of IPA. It's good to see that the irresponsible tradition
of leaving milk or cocoa and cookies is being fought by the
right-thinking element: I've heard rumors Santa Claus has a blood
chemistry that doesn't handle theobromine well, and that in addition
he's lactose intolerant. The prospect of Santa drinking and flying seems
to pale in comparison to the obvious dangers of overdoing it on the milk
or cocoa and cookies. It's good to see, though, that children around the
world are being intoduced to the Brehon hospitality laws in this way.

Because it's better than eating live fish eggs, that's why. Caviar, BTW,
is another product that goes extremely well with IPA.

My kid has asked me if I've ever _seen_ Santa Claus; I tell him quite
truthfully that I never have, but that it was never necessary. It's also
true that a lot of the goodies I've received over the years have
probably really been delivered by various earthly agents of the jolly
old geezer, parents and such, but again, more was never necessary. I'll
leave things like the airplanes that have been dropping from the skies
like stones on Christmas Eve, only to find their controls and engines
mysteriously working again, to the main man himself.

G-d [or who/whatever functions for you] bless us, every one.
