Dear Santa:

I am really curious, how does your title work? Are you the same St. Nicholas of Myra who's been giving gifts since 3rd century AD, or is it like a continuous legacy, like it was the case in movies like Santa Clause? If it's the first, how are you still alive after 1800 years? The Wiki article says you died on 6th December, 343. Did you... faked your own death? It seems unlikely to me you're the same person. In that case, the title of Santa Claus must be a hereditary thing. Is it like from father to son, or do you choose your successor? Or maybe, you don't have just one successor, and there are a couple of them all around the world. That would explain how different countries have a different version of you, like Sinterklaas in Netherlands, or Ded Moroz in Russia, or Father Christmas in England. This has to be it! There's no single Saint Nick! There are many regional variants of yourself, and each and every one of them cooperate toghether to bring presents on the Christmas night. And the North Pole is the command centre, where you and other Santas coordinate your movements and work! Oh, Dear Santa, I think have cracked your case! You aren't just a solitary harbinger of joy. You are a whole league of mythological present givers, a 1800 years old secretive cabal of festive merrymakers. I do believe my theory is correct, and I can bet you it is. I've been a good boy this year, but if I'm wrong, you'll give me a lump of coal this christmas. If i'm right however, you'll have to give me an SSD with at least 1, no, 2 TB of space.

See you in 19 days

Yours:

Eggy.
