Rants and Rambles

Now I'm Curious

Hello! How are you guys doing? Pretty groovy, I hope.

Anyway, a few days ago I was puzzling on a puzzling scenario. I need some help puzzling on it, so that's where you come in!

So, I was puzzling about Santa Clause.

I was wondering, what would happen if Santa Clause had allergies? I mean, he flies around the entire world in a day, distributing presents and consuming lots and lots and lots of sugar.

By what would happen if, for example, he had a peanut allergy.

He eats millions of cookies; the odds are that many of them have peanuts in them.

So, what? Does he just carry tons of Eppie Pens on his person? Do his raindeer know CPR?

Or, say he had a less common allergy, like... Pineapples. (I actually know someone who is allergic to pineapples.)

Say that he rarely ever found a cookie with pineapples in it. Say that he just didn't eat the ones with pineapple.

Would that not just crush the little child that made the cookie's dreams? (It would. It really would.)

Or, what would happen if he didn't know that a cookie had pineapples in it?

Can you imagine waking up on Christmas Day, ready to open up Santa's gifts, but instead you see him having an allergic reaction on the floor? That would be one way to scar a child for life.

And say that said allergic reaction did happen towards the middle of his journey. Then, what would happen to the other kids that Santa didn't have the chance to deliver the gifts to?

They would also be scarred for life.

Or, does he just have a magical pineapple cookie eating hat?

(Somehow, this seems the most improbable of the scenarios.)

So, in words, no matter what allergy he had, he would most likely end up scarring a child.

That is what I have concluded.

I have also concluded this:

Santa does not have allergies.

Anyway, that's all I have to say for today!

Thanks for reading!

Puff out.
