Santa Claus has officially cancelled Christmas due to credible death threats made against his whole operation. On the morning of May 9, 2018, Mr. Claus gave a press conference at the University of Texas at El Paso, disclosing in his own words “There will be no Christmas this year.” Mr. Claus explained the gravity of the situation saying he is currently working with top intelligence organizations like the CIA to figure out where these death threats are coming from and their overall severity. “Mrs. Claus and I have been receiving credible death threats and while we live a long time we are not immortal,” said Mr. Claus. Although not knowing where these threats are coming from, Mr. Claus explained that the reason for the death threats is
People often have different opinions and views toward stories or news articles they have read. My Parents killed Santa and Nobody Cared (Santa) by Dakshana Bascaramurty is an essay that tells the story of how a child was shocked to learn from the parents that Santa was unreal and did not exist. On the other hand, In Defense against Graffiti (Graffiti) by Alex Boyd discusses the positive of graffiti. Between the two, the story Graffiti by Boyd is a much better article because it is informative and exciting to read. For some time now there has been controversy on weather graffiti stands out as an art or not ever since it began to appear in a number of galleries worldwide. The reason Alex Boyd’s “Graffiti” is a better essay is because it seeks to distinguish between retrogressive instance of graffiti and positive especially in the messages that they put forward.
However in the over-exaggerated movie it included the reason behind the Grinch's hatred of Christmas; saying it was because the kids used to tease him when he was little, until the day he
“It was wrong of the Reverend to involve you. It’s dangerous and sooner or later, it will go wrong. We’re running out of places to hide children and most people here agree with the Nazis about the Jews. They just don’t like the invasion.”
“I’ll just tell you about this madman stuff that happened to me last Christmas just before I got pretty rundown and had to come here and take it easy.”
Fourteen days, four hours, and exactly forty-one minutes till Santa will be traveling around the world making everyone’s next morning full of joy. As I am aware, this is an exciting time year for elves. Many create the toys that will be unwrapped while others have the great pleasure of baking cookies, taking care of Santa’s reindeer, and of course the hardest job of all, working to read different letters from various of children around the world. Figuring that you are currently reading my letter, I know that you probably have piles of letter embroidered with name of the place all kids think about: to the north pole. Inside most of these letters, I know from writing a few myself, that many kids are asking the either one of two questions: “I’m I on the naughty list” or in other letters there are variations of “May I pretty please with a cherry on top get ____ for christmas”. However, today I am not writing about these main topics, I am writing you this to you in hopes that I can be enlightened of the magic of passion and creativity that you are so lucky to be surrounded by everyday. Moreover, you may be pondering this and wonder why I would be asking for a request such as this. I have just finished a semester of a passions within a creativity class and was hoping to share with you what I learned and hope to hear what your perspective may be. So, my current intention throughout the rest of this letter to show you something new
Christmas like Thanksgiving believe it or not, do happen to share many traits. One major factor that the two own is the warmth and love of bringing family and close friends together. It’s the few times a year that everyone has a reason to all gather around to
Elvis Presley, the king of rock and roll, a musical icon, was found dead in his home due to a heart attack, but was that truly the death of Elvis? Or is he still roaming around today under a pseudonym out of the public eye? On August 16, 1977 the announcement of The King’s death left millions of his adoring fans awestruck. Once this had happened people started to assume that Elvis had faked his death, because many areas of his passing seemed a bit out of place.
The Grinch presents many issues in the movie. The major one is that he hates Christmas and everything it has to do with it. He sits on top of his mountain and listens to all the noises that occurs when Christmas comes that he cannot stand. When the kids open their presents on Christmas morning and they start playing with them it annoys him. From the drums, trumpets, loud and obnoxious sounds
As the story moves along Sam out the elder in different situations to see if he would eat the green eggs and ham, but to Sam’s dismay the elder wouldn’t. Finally after trying and trying and trying Sam gets the elder to try the Green eggs and ham. One of the most popular stories by Dr. Seuss is the classic How the Grinch Stole Christmas. This story became so popular that Universal Studios not only picket it up for a movie, but also a whole theme for their Christmas season theme park. In this story the Grinch loathes Christmas and the who’s with every fiber of his being. The Grinch presents himself as socially cut off from the who’s down in whoville. He lives on top of Mt. Crumpit with his dog Max. All of this hate is because his heart is two sizes too small (and this time he’ll keep it off). He finally had enough of the Who’s bangboozaling and clangclangaling so he devised a plan to steal Christmas. After Santa Clause came and delivered all the presents to the houses he would sneak in, in his Santa Clause suit and steal every present, every light, every decoration, every tree, and all of the food for the feast. He even stole the roast beast! He would empty the houses one by one and he didn’t leave anything. Not even a crumb big enough for a mouse. So as he got done with emptying the houses and was about to dump everything over Crumpit he heard a noise, a weird
Nobody answered me. I was about to ask again until somebody finally answered my question and this voice sounded familiar. “Don’t worry, your brother is safe and sound as long as you cooperate like a good little girl.”
Santa Claus must exist. How else would you describe this change in the way humans interact during these otherwise dreary winter months? Santa Claus is the catalyst of human goodness, sparking within us a genuine care for our neighbor, bringing us together for this wonderful season. Think of a world without Santa Claus!
“All right, stay for the night, but in the morning, go to Spaskoy village; rumor is that Stundists* Church takes orphans. Keep Chaim quiet; I do not want neighbors to know that we are hiding the Jew.”

He over exaggerates often throughout the article, however he has a few solid points. I agree that it does not do much for their imagination, although studies have shown that it helps children throughout their stages of development. When lying to your child about the story of Santa Claus, you help stimulate the cognitive development that a child needs in order to grow into a healthy human being. Santa Claus continues to be a pertinent issue in society amongst parents and their children today. It can be very challenging to know which side you agree with based on your family culture, how you cultivated and what you believe in. In today’s society, few children believe in Santa because of so many available outlets pertaining to the issue. While children can easily receive an answer to their question, there has been an abundance of parents interested in what they should tell their children. Parents who want to make sure they are doing the right thing, however they sense not having the answers to everything dealing with this controversy. Santa Claus is a part of an everlasting Family Tradition that has been a part of Christmas for numerous years and will continue to
Santa Claus is the one thing children believe in unfailingly. I mean, the exact gifts they want for Christmas always appear under the tree overnight, and for a child the only explanation is magic. But in today’s world of over parenting, the
