Santa Claus isn't real, right? That's what we've been told ever since we found out who really puts the presents under our Christmas trees. He's this made-up character who has one job one day a year--put toys underneath little children's trees in the middle of the night and eat all of their sugar cookies in return. My argument is that Santa is more real than someone like Heidi Montag who has 5% of her real face still attached to her head.
What has Heidi ever done for humanity? She's taught girls to not be satisfied with their bodies, to turn to surgery to be more popular, and that dating a douche who treats you and the rest of the world poorly is an okay way to live. At least Dolly Parton, the old Barbie Doll, has set up her Imagination Library to help early childhood learning. She has openly admitted to hating what she's had done through plastic surgery. No, what I'm talking about is the glorification of people who are so fake and plastic. It's disgusting.
Santa instills excitement and hope in children's hearts, and keeps their imaginations alive with wonder. He makes them believe in magic, something that Scrooges out there could really take a lot away from. He teaches the art of giving and receiving, of sharing, of family, and of traditions. To me, that's more real than anything that Heidi has ever said or done.
I still don't really know who Heidi Montag is, & for that I am thankful.
