Darth Claus
The town I live in held a family evening of Christmas carols at the local cricket oval last night. At first it had promise of being more than the usual amateurish affair that seems to be the lot of small communities, with a large choir and a proper orchestra.
But as the second half opened, instead of playing carols, they played the theme to Star Wars. Star Wars?!? And then Santa Claus appeared. At first I was a bit annoyed at the lack of musical taste, but then a broader truth became apparent:
Santa Claus is a Sith Lord
Suddenly, everything that drives you nuts about the excesses of the Christmas season makes sense. The endless shopping, tacky decorations, and worst of all the fact that the stores start playing Christmas music in October — it’s all an evil plot. Not to mention the whole flying through the air and visiting several million people an hour thing. Only a master of the Dark Side could manage these feats. Darth Claus, Lord of the Sith.
