Santa is Confused
Santa is an old man, you have to take into account that his kind can live for a very long time. Santa as we know him today has been doing his job for a few hundred years now. This means that Santa has seen a lot of change.
He can remember putting King Henry the eighth on the naughty list (he did after all behead two of his wives) and the time that he gave the first teddy bear, just over a hundred years ago. Santa was very intrigued by the idea of a teddy bear then, but now he considers them a classic. One that is soon to be on it's way out, as once again times seem to be changing.
Because of how many children there are in the world, Santa has to give a lot of the work to his elves. But one job he has consistently done is the reading of his letters. This is so as to sort out his mail between requests for Christmas and other business. Once that's done, the elves take a look at the letters and list out the presents, so more elves can get to making the right amount of everything.
One day Elle was on duty with Santa as he was reading letters. Her task was to send the read letters to the elves from Santa. Elle was just about to leave the office with a stack of letters when Santa stopped her. 'Sorry Elle, hold on a moment. You're aware of the current tends and fashions aren't you?'
Elle looked back to Santa while still holding her stack of papers. 'Yeah I guess. Why'd you ask?'
'You might be able to make sense of this for me. I've got this letter here asking for what I can only assume is called a "fidget spinner". Elle blinked at Santa as she pondered, then she shrugged her shoulders. 'Oh well, thank you all the same.' Santa sent Elle on her way and decided he would have to use the Internet to find out what fidget spinner was. Poor Santa, he never liked having to use the Internet, he still didn't fully understand it!
