Yes, Virginia, there is dumbassery . . . .

Santa is white

Santa is black

Santa is an alien

Ummm . . . . in all honesty (and please get the kids out of the room or cover their eyes), Santa is an fictional character based on a folk tale, and that character's appearance changed from culture to culture. He matched the expectations and needs of the kids who believed in him, including looking like them in their imaginations.

So the Megan Kellys and Bill O'Reillys of the world should put a sock in it. Making political hay out of this non-issue is the height of stupidity.

And by the way, Happy Holidays!
