Ben, I dunno. I think of it more like exposing (*definitely* "exposing") Santa's human side--his soft underbelly, as it were. He's already intimidating enough to children without making a role model out of him.

And there's already a lot of seaminess that's just kinda whitewashed by the 'Tis The Season Spin Doctors. Consider. This is the dude who sees you when you're sleeping? Knows when you're awake? Knows if you've been bad or good? I think we have the patron saint of stalkers, here...
