I think we should be teaching our children how to cook and what is healthy so that they know. Changing Santa isn’t going to change their eating habits.

I think Santa looks great just the way he is, and should be able to eat all the cookies and milk he wants. Nobody likes a skinny Santa.

I agree with you and the other commenters! It’s nice to have someone in the country who is comfortable with being big. If Santa went on a diet, he might get grumpy and feel less generous!

As Mrs. Claus said in the claymation Rudolph special: “Eat, Papa, eat! Nobody likes a skinny Santa.”

There are so many things about Santa that children DON’T grow up trying to emulate (big white beard, living in the North Pole, head-to-toe red outfits, etc.), so I don’t think children think of Santa as someone who they want to be. Let “Santa” have his cookies. (We parents burn a few hundred calories wrapping the presents for him, anyway, so it all comes out even in the end.)
