Character Blogs - Santa Claus starts blogging

Bloggers are all down on "Character Blogs," blogs allegedly written by fictional characters. Examples include "The Captains Blog" by Captain Morgan of Captain Morgan's Rum and others. The Captain Morgon blog didn't last long -- like most character blogs, I thought it was not particularly well done.

However bloggers, myself included, are often full of themselves. Bloggers make up a minority of the Blogosphere - blog readers make up the majority, and they are not quite as uptight or Politically Blog Correct (PBC).

When Santa Claus himself, in the words of comedy geniuses Cheech and Chong, "The Dude with the hair on his jaws," asked me to start a Santa blog,I could not say no. Despite the fact that bloggers will castigate me, I had to do it. To make sure I've absolutely sinned, I also put Amazon ads for Christmas presents on it, and hope to generate some revenue for the less fortunate, and maybe if I make a lot of money even buy the Elves some caviar and wine (they are party animals during the offseason, i.e. immediately after Christmas). Or maybe some Mad Dog 20-20.

So visit SantaBlog.org, and if I make some money, maybe I can donate a few bucks to the less fortunate. So far I've made less than $2 but donated $5 :)

In any case, I'm having fun. Christmas is especially fun when you have little kids like I do!
