SANTABEAST!? Abso-holly-jolly-lutely.

I absolutely love Christmas. Love everything about it. Of all the wonderful and mysterious symbols associated with Christmas and the season, I have a wonderfully particular affinity for that jolly old elf, Santa Claus. Now that we know where I'm coming from, here's the BEAST of the week...

BEAST - SANTA CLAUS

I have read that about 1/3 of the world's population celebrates the Christmas holiday....that's a little over 2 billion people! Imagine it...making that list (must be a whopper)! Checking it twice (that's gotta mean some late nights)! Keeping track of who's naughty and who's nice (can you imagine the stories?)! And probably the most impressive of all, whizzing around the globe in an open sleigh with THE bling-bling associate leading the way while bringing 2 billion-plus people presents and joy in one 24 hour period...!?!?!?! If that doesn't get you some votes as a BEAST then nothing will. Congratulations Santa Claus (each and every one of you...*wink*), you claim the title of BEAST of the week....SANTABEAST that is.

Seriously READER, we here at the BEAST wanted to take just a minute and wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy new year. We hope the holiday season is healthy and bright and that 2010 brings you all nothing but the very best.
