To serve you better all naughty/nice cross checking and Xmas-wish-list fulfillment have been shifted over to A.I. this year. So some of those things you thought you got away with may come back to haunt you (a little Halloween zinger there) and could lead to some unanticipated punishments. Also, our LLM will use its superior analytical skills to pick better gifts than the ones you selected — enjoy the socks! Of course the laid-off elves aren’t too happy about that. And the energy demands of our new data centers have pretty much melted what remained of the polar ice cap. Christmas just keeps getting beta and beta!

If Santa's red outfit is just a costume, then who is it a costume of?

I think yours is the funny version of this:

Nicholas Was… by Neil Gaiman

Nicholas Was…

older than sin, and his beard could grow no whiter. He wanted to die.

The dwarfish natives of the Arctic caverns did not speak his language, but conversed in

their own, twittering tongue, conducted incomprehensible rituals, when they were not

actually working in the factories.

Once every year they forced him, sobbing and protesting, into Endless Night. During the

journey he would stand near every child in the world, leave one of the dwarves’ invisible

gifts by its bedside. The children slept, frozen into time.

He envied Prometheus and Loki, Sisyphus and Judas. His punishment was harsher.

Ho. Ho. Ho.
