Drunk Santa?

My friend Erin emailed me a link to the Drunk Santa Game. The object of the game is to use the arrows on your keyboard to guide Santa to his liquor and the occasional cupcake without electrocuting him on the train tracks. While the game is a nice distraction from the work I should be doing, I don't really understand the point. Why would I want to make Santa drunker? Won't it make it more difficult for him to find my house? If he's too drunk, he may sleep through Christmas Eve altogether, or he may mess up everyone's presents. That would be a national disaster. Plus, he probably shouldn't be drinking and flying his sleigh through the air. I'm thinking that this game is probably not such a good idea. He should get some rest and drink some coffee so that he's ready for Christmas Eve.

***Update***My friend Marie sent me a link to another crazy holiday game, Elf snowball fight. There are only three rounds, but it's harder than you may think to avoid whacking Santa. He pops up unpredictably. If you successfully get through all three rounds, you do get a nice certificate that you can print and hang up in your office. Although, all it really amounts to is a paper trail of what you're really doing at work.

I once wrote a disturbing poem called "Song of the Boy on Christmas" that ruined the very foundation of Christmas for everyone in my creative writing class when I performed it. It's best when heard "spoken word..."
