[Hi, City. Have some video of Duck wearing a very silly reindeer-antler headband, and looking more awkward than usual. If at all possible.]

I, uh... I know this sounds like a silly question, but I come from a really... really long way away from here, and I don't know, so.

[deep breath]

...who's Santa Claus?

Santa Claus is what they call Saint Nicholas here. He gives gifts to well-behaved children at Christmastime.

[[His tone and expression grow more serious.]]

Krampus is what you should be more concerned about, though.

video | no you're not

[pas_de_ducks]

...Krampus?

Fakir will be

[insourarmor]

[[He nods. Was that a smile for just a second? Nah.]]

Krampus handles the misbehaving children.

Especially when Dad gives him That Look

[pas_de_ducks]

What do you mean, handles? Does he give away coal? I heard Santa Claus does that sometimes.

Santa Claus goes down chimneys and puts presents in stockings, I guess. And he eats cookies. That's about all I know. I wonder if he's a Pokemon... or if there's a Pokemon like him back home...

S-sorry. Fakir was being REALLY MEAN WHEN YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE NICE TO PEOPLE [this part she's yelling away from the comm] stupid Fakir.

Anyway. Um. What's a Pokemon?

[origamiguardian]

Different people have different stories.

But he's basically the spirit of giving.

[pas_de_ducks]

The spirit...? So... he's a person, but not a person?

[voice] which was awesome, btw.

[origamiguardian]

That's how I see it.

[battothefuture]

Santa is a jolly old elf who lives at the North Pole and makes toys for all the good little girls and boys, then hops in a sleigh with his flying reindeer and delivers them all by jumping down chimneys.

He's not real.

[There's a pause as something occurs to him]

Or he's not in my world, at least.

Santa's the guy in red with a flying sleigh who brings kids presents on Christmas! You've really never heard of him?
