Mike Tanier's Monday Morning Hangover: Teams Need More Than Playoff Miracles

If the classic Christmas specials of the 1960s and '70s taught us anything, it's that Santa Claus is a total jerk.

In Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, the parochial, reactionary symbol of goodwill and charity known as "Santa" comes across like Oliver Stone's version of Richard Nixon.

In The Year Without a Santa Claus, jolly old Saint Nicholas plans to take the one night of the year off he cannot possibly take off—think Tom Coughlin calling in sick for a Super Bowl—and sends his wife to tangle with heavily armed warring elemental factions while he mopes around a small town.

Santa is only remotely likeable in Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town, where he plays a wanted breaking-and-entering expert who lives on the fringes of society and subjects children to increasing persecution by forcing his "toy-giving" agenda into their homes no matter if they want it.
