TOO BUSY FOR TOYS

It’s easy to find things to laugh about; aren’t we the goofiest people?! 

For example, what is it with “occupational Santas”?  You know—those figurines of Santa wearing the
attire and holding the tools of a particular profession (other than his own)?

Fireman Santa



And yes, even the Real Estate Santa





Who do you suppose thought this up?  Was just one person responsible for this funny thing, or was the social climate just perfect one year for this idea to blossom in the minds of entrepreneurs all over the globe, and these figurines just started popping up all over the place? 


“Oh, rats,” says one fellow, “they had the same idea as I.”

  1. I think you missed the obvious. It's the economy. Santa has to moonlight to make ends meet.

  2. Oooh, Christmas.  I think it is time for a little Christmas in July.
