Land of the buffet?

It's that time of year when the town of Santa Claus is included in holiday-themed articles in newspapers and magazines around the world.

One of the first to check in this year is the Toronto Globe & Mail. Today's article is what's known as a "round-up," meaning the town is one of several mentioned, all following a single theme.

What's with the "land of the buffet" crack? Reminds me of our "Obsecity is rappant in the U.S." friend from back in May.

Meanwhile, if your little ones need a project to keep them busy over the long Thanksgiving weekend, it's not too early to send a letter to Santa.

As you can see, Santa is sure to answer each and every one (as long as there's a return address--please double-check).



Before anyone fires off an email to me, let me just say the pipe's a prop and the photo's an old one (from the days before they knew better). But it's such a neat photo, I thought I'd take a chance.

Meanwhile, here's the address to send those letters: Santa Claus, PO Box 1, Santa Claus IN 47579.
