So how much does it cost each year for our governemnt to track "Santa"

The GQ humour cloaking device worked quite well there, I thought. As late as post 6, people still appeared to take the OP quite seriously. A really impressive display of earnestness.
I maintain that, with powerful enough telescopes, we might be able to infer evidence of a sense of humour in these people.

What evidence do you have that Santa is Christian? Everything that I have heard from both him and others is that he is some sort of pagan/agnostic that likes to do good deeds and he does them well. I personally met Santa when I was young a few times and he never tried to push any biblical ideals on me at all. I even know families that DO NOT go to church and he still gives the kids presents year after year without expecting anything in return. I don’t want to let this degenerate into a religious debate but there are not even any churches at the North Pole as far as I know.

Why do you say that?

I was kidding, but I’d say the name is a pretty big clue: Santa Claus = Saint Nicholas, a saint of the Christian church.

I’m sure a Saint of the Christian Church wouldn’t have been caught kissing my mum under the mistletoe, would he? I always thought it was my Dad.
