Santa’s nine reindeer were an unreliable, grumbling bunch, generally exaccerbating Santa’s hypertension. Worse still, because they were an odd number, they only ever pulled the sleigh in circles.
Then, following COP28, Santa realised that climate change required a re-think of sleigh power – reindeer methane emissions were unacceptably high. It was time for renewable energy: windmills on the sleigh. Deer days were numbered.
“But we’ll be redundant!” Rudolph wailed. “How will we live?? Who’ll look after the poor starving children who depend on us for presents?”
Santa had the answer. On Christmas Day, the world’s poorest children were fed venison stew.
