Why Dante Shepard is Awesome

Lesson #821 - Santa Claus
Go to the site to see the images, they're cute.

Recently, a girl told my daughter that Santa Claus wasn't real. I responded by telling her that people who don't believe in Santa Claus don't have any Christmas spirit. I told her that believing in Santa was the same as believing in magic. In our family, the way things work and creativity and generally the enjoyment of life is something we refer to as magic. Life is better with magic, but I absolutely love this logic brought to us by Dante Shepard:

Santa Claus is REAL. Ignore what all the mean older kids tell you. Of course he exists. In fact, it's not even that hard to prove.

First, you need to understand that there are in infinite number of universes. There are so many, that we're not only unable to count how many universes where you remembered to wear deodorant today, we also can't count how many universes where you didn't, or how many where you don't even have armpits.


So, this means that not only does Santa exist, he might exist in as many as half of lal of the infinite number of universes!


"But, aha!", the mean kids might say. "Even if Santa is real in half of the possible universes, our universe might be one of those where he isn't real."


Well that might be true. But with an infinite number of universes, that means that not only is there at least one Santa Claus that can travel between universes, there is at least one Santa Claus who can travel to our universe.


So hold on to your child-like hope, and keep on happily waiting for Santa. And if the mean older kids just keep saying "Nuh-uh", you can ignore them. They just don't understand physics.


Happy Holidays, kids. Of all ages.

I am very happy to know that there are other people out there that are willing to dream and be consumed in magic and holiday spirit. If we let the nay-sayers stop the world, we'd never get anywhere!
