I agree with your point though, whether or not he's learned there's no Santa Claus, he is about to come to terms with a world not only without Santa, but featuring an elf with a gasmask. <br /><br />Oh, uh, YULETIDE SPOILER!<br />Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12995166642313003835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3831616863313224772.post-8733808044458635432012-08-21T13:37:53.674-04:002012-08-21T13:37:53.674-04:00It's simple but small enough to miss.
