Pere Noel

This was the Christmas party at our school. Daddy told us that Pere Noel is explaining to the inquisitive 3-year-old that it's not easy with all the political pressure, austerity and all that stuff, to maintain a bunch of reindeer, much less fly out when the air space is regulated-- this can only happen Christmas Eve... (transcript below). Not sure if the kid was encouraged or not.

"It will be ok on December the 24th, it will be with reindeers...but you know, given the bad period we are going through, it's hard to work out our priorities...Yeah...don't worry, it will be solved on December the 24th, I will come with my reindeers when they are allowed to fly...but you know, they are only allowed to fly on December the 24th...it's complicated...yeah...that's because of the economic crisis...Santa Claus of modern times...you know how firms work now..."
