@brianbilston Have you noticed how Death always finds a way in, despite locked doors and high security? You know who else can do that?

... and is only supposedly busy on one day of the year? No one has ever seen Death and Santa in the same place at the same time!

@ArborealTechie @brianbilston I always thought of Santa and Satan being one and the same, big and red, same letters in their names... Now there's another contender although maybe a little in the thinner side.

@WanderingWitch @brianbilston He couldn't really carry so much weight with all that activity and squeezing through tight spaces. The suit is just padding for publicity photos and to throw people off the scent! Could be Satan too though. I think that's more of a title than a job. He has minions, so not many hours required surely?

@ArborealTechie @brianbilston Santa has minions too.

@WanderingWitch @brianbilston Perhaps they're the same minions? 🤔

@ArborealTechie @brianbilston You *have* seen/read "Hogfather" by #TerryPratchett haven't you?

@tokensane @brianbilston I have read it, but not in well over 20 years. I just read short summary and some bits are familiar. I really must reread it! I can see why you asked but I had totally forgotten the link!
