Obviously, the state would never do that because nobody wants to know what that report will find out.

FOI request will result in a document that would make the CIA redactions team proud.

It's always tough to talk about complicated legacies. Yes, Santa Claus has brought joy to countless children all over the world for longer than any of us have been alive, but does that mean we should excuse his wanton bloodlust? The death squads? The snuff film collection? The elf genocide?
Hard to say.

Can't believe that these days an American kid can reach 10 still believing in Santa!
Story time: the Christmas when I was about to turn 9, my mother gave me a life-size (my then-size) painted wooden doll house in the shape of a French chateau that she had made.
Then she explained that Santa was actually a spirit who worked through people to give gifts.
(This dovetailed nicely with her teachings about how God works.)

The funniest part is that I saw this on Facebook and it was flooded with boomers commenting stuff like “I can’t believe they’re using my tax dollars on this!!!!!” Like they genuinely believed that the state was conducting a full forensic analysis of Santa on their dime.
