twenty-five | day 21 – the absurdness of some Christmas traditions

what’s that sound I hear?
who’s coming down the chimney??
Ohh it’s santa claus…

shamelessly pilfered from the internet...

When I look at secular Christmas traditions from an objective point of view, a lot of it comes across as a tad ridiculous. A guy flies to the roof of your house on a sleigh. Pulled by reindeer. He then breaks into your house by coming down the chimney, and you don’t call the cops. Instead you leave out milk and cookies. Then instead of jacking your stuff, he leaves presents and takes off - back up the chimney (i have no clue how he makes it back up the chimney...it's not like he's a stick). Then he flies to the next house and does the same. He can cover the entire world in a day. Absurd?? Nope…it’s Christmas tradition apparently.
