In one corner, backed by the absent-minded wizard Merlin and a legion of what would appear to be heavily sedated and confused ethnically stereotyped children, is Father Christmas. In the other, Satan’s inept right-hand man Pitch and some snot-nosed youths. While Pitch can breath fire and control the mind of man, Santa Claus can spy on you with his creepy telescope and haunt your dreams with his psychotic wind up reindeer. He also has “The Flower to Disappear” and a sidekick named Pedro. I will admit, Satan’s really slacking it in this battle. I’m sure the holidays wear him down.
It’s an epic battle to determine the fate of mankind’s soul, or at least whether or not one child in Mexico gets the doll she wants or not. Not to sure about the rest of the kids of the world, they sort of gloss over it. Either way, nothing says ‘Christmas’ like the eternal struggle between Santa Claus and Satan. NOTHING.
