You may be asking yourself a question that seems to have no answer. That question is where does all that good stuff that gets left out for Santa go? Well, it's actually pretty simple. You see, even a guy with as "healthy" an appetite as Santa cant possibly eat all that good stuff. All those cookies and cakes, and cupcakes and brownies and slices of za and sammis and pigs in a blanket (actually, he usually does eat the pigs on the spot. Santa digs pigs in a blanket) and anchovies (which he saves for the penguins. hold the anchovies please for me though) would be too much for any one person to dine on. Sure, Santa burns some heavy duty calories doing his annual trip, but still that is just way too much food and if he eats too much it'll slow him down. (Santa needs to be fast on his feet to get all this done in one night) So what happens to the rest? Well, he takes a giant doggie bag home. Actually, he takes a whole bunch of bags home and they all have that good stuff inside. Why? Because they have the after show party at the north pole and the stuff you leave out for santa goes to supply the party. Tables full of all that tasty stuff you left out becomes the spread for one heck of a shindig/soiree. All the elves, reindeer, and every one else involved get together for a giant blow out to celebrate another successful trip. And, it takes the heat off of Mrs Claus because she would probably have to make a lot of that stuff herself if it weren't supplied by you all. Now, I know I know, this seems a little far fetched but it really isnt. Can you think of a more reasonable explanation? I didnt think so. As far as the coldies you sometimes leave for Santa, keep 'em closed. Santa doesnt drink and fly but he does like to kick back with a cold one after work like many of us do. So there you have it, the only explanation that could make any sense at all of what happens to all the goodies you leave out for Santa. He really does appreciate it and always raises a toast to everyone who contributed during the party. And now, if anyone asks you... You can tell them you know where it goes. And it's an H to the O to the Ho Ho Ho! Happy Holidays and merry christmas! T.T.Y.L. Greg
