To the editor:

This is in response to Chris Anderson’s letter of Jan. 4 regarding the Santa story published recently in the Journal-World. I happen to know that so-called “Harley riding, porno reading, pot smoking, nudie-joint-frequenting sometimes Santa,” as Anderson called him, and I say, “Shame On You!” Shame on you for being so close-minded and judgmental.

We hired that specific Santa for our company Christmas party this year, and he was totally professional, friendly and fun. When “Santa” had his outfit on, it was hard to tell he wasn’t the real deal! All of the children had a blast, a few adults sat on Santa’s lap as well, and, all in all, the evening was a great success. Maybe Anderson should talk to his children about the differences in people, how that makes for an interesting and exciting world.

Maybe Anderson should make sure his children know that not everyone looks the same, acts the same, has the same taste in clothing, body art or hobbies. Or maybe Anderson should just quit whining and get over it.

By the way, if anyone is looking to hire a Santa Claus next year, I would highly recommend the one in question. He made our event a lot of fun.
