Think about it. Christmas is a big, organized, warm, fuzzy, nurturing social deal, and I have a tough time believing a guy could possibly pull it all off!
There’s more…
Men can’t pack a bag and certainly not efficient enough to service a one night, around the world, gift giving, extravaganza.
Men would rather be dead than caught wearing red velvet.
Men hunt reindeer.
Men don’t answer their mail.
Men would refuse to allow their physique to be described even in jest as anything remotely resembling a “bowlful of jelly.”
Men don’t like shopping.
Finally, being responsible for a world-wide, no-charge, event like Christmas would require a huge commitment.
I can buy the fact that other mythical holiday characters are men. Father Time shows up once a year unshaven and looking ominous. Definite guy. Cupid flies around carrying weapons, shooting people. Uncle Sam is a politician who likes to point fingers. Any one of these individuals could pass the man-test. But not St. Nick. Not a chance.
Ladies, this is your chance to chime in! Anymore reasons why Santa Claus cannot be a man? Also, send this to a girlfriend and get the word out about the real identity of Santa!

Santa really is quite fashionable with his matching belt and boots. Perhaps the smooth white gloves are a bit feminine. It could be that Mrs. Clause is to blame. Can’t you just see her straightening his suit right now. Maybe if they had some kids,say six of them, he’d look a little more manly. Mrs. Claus would be too busy to find his belt for him. Santa’s red velvet suit would have last years stains of milk and cookies, because it sat in the bottom of the laundry pile all year long, so He would be forced to find something eles to wear. Santa’s fluffy hat would have been auctioned off on e-bay – after all it was either that or the pipe. He’d realize that kid’s these days have so many toys, because he’d trip over them as he came in the door each day. Ahh yes! If that were the case Santa would probably look more manly and be more sympathetic to the parents. Can’t you see it now, instead of getting toys under the tree we leave toys for him to take away. Instead of hanging stockings we hang dirty laundry for him to clean. And after he does the dishes, well, then he can help himself to some beef jerky and black coffee.

All men don’t hunt reindeer, so that argument won’t fly.
Santa is definetly a man because I can’t imagine a woman enjoying whipping the daylights out of a reindeer to see how fast she can make it fly!
OK, the thought that any woman would get me underwear for Christmas (other than my wife, or mother when I was a kid), is just not right!!!
