Santa Flaws

“Jolly Old St. Pickolas” was on my original ornaments list, and he still disturbs me in the sense he makes me so damned angry. He looks absolutely nothing like a pickle because no pickle has ever been that shade of green, nor do they widen out at one end like a pear does. Still, at least St. Pickolas, unlike “Santa’s Workshop,” doesn’t depict ol’ Father Christmas standing in front of what is clearly an elf-filled sweatshop.
