If I worked in a union

I would want it to be the same one Santa Claus aka Kris Kringle uses.

The man works 1 day a year!! And how hard does he work? Sure, he has to TRAVEL the world, oh how horrible, all expense paid travelling in his own private sled. No airline fees, airport waits, delays, etc.

The extent of his office work is making a list and checking it twice, something which by now he has either loaded up into Access or some other Microsoft program created just for him so it is a matter of a few minutes on the computer in between games of Bejewelled.

The best part to me about being Santa Claus is the Union makes him stay fat if he wants to keep his job so non-stop cookies and milk! Bet he has no problem getting one of the elves to stand in line for him at the Hoboken bakery to get him cookies. A

Now this part is not appealing to me because I am not a voyeur but I am sure there a few who would like the "sees you when you're sleeping," not my cup of tea but hey, to each his own.

The ones with the sucky union are the elves. They do all the work! Making the toys, loading the sled, cleaning-up after the reindeer (though I would hate to be Santa if one of the elves got p*ssed off at Santa and fed the reindeer baked beans before take-off), shovel all the snow in the North Pole, rub Santa's feet, etc.

  2. Hi Jeanette! Yah, Santa has a cushy job, alright! I imagine the wait for that job, would be a very long one! Don't think I would want to be an elf either, sounds like being a housewife!
    Welcome to my blog! It's so nice to see you again!

  3. Always nice to see you Sharon!

    Thought of another benefit the man gets, FREE housing and it is a darn nice house, all the movies, etc depicting his house, never a cottage, always something grand which the elves keep clean as well.

  4. Ha! Agreed...the dude has it made....still, his only "normal" adult company appears to be Mrs. Claus...and the North Pole has to be a kinda UGH place to live. Do you suppose he "winters" in the Bahamas, after his whirlwind Christmas tour?
