So, I'm supposed to be working on my LAST paper that I just can't seem to plow through, but I can't get something off of my mind.
When I was working last week at ROOTS, I was folding some t-shirts when I heard the song 'Santa Baby' play in the store. Now, I know we've all heard the song plenty of times in our lifetimes, some of us (including myself) sing along, trying to convinve ourselves that we can make our voices as husky as Marilyn Munro or Madonna. But here's the thing, has anyone listened to the lyrics? The song is about seducing Santa. Santa Claus, who is old, travels quite a bit, and is married. The girl seems to be okay with these barriers. She's like hey, I still find you sexy even though you're 107 years old, I like the fact that you travel a lot because it means you're worldly and that I don't have to make a commitment, I'll settle for the yearly one night stand, and I don't care about Mrs. Claus, I can offer you things she doesn't as long as you bring me a duplex, a deed to a platnium mine and a convertible, oh and a ring (what kind of ring? not a phonecall, that's all she says about it) Now, that's quite a loaded song. What's hard to differentate during this song is whether Santa is sleeping around while he drops off presents, or this women has pretty detailed fantasies about Santa, I'm not sure what's worse. So, there you have it, "Santa Baby", a holiday fav...
