When Torontoist’s Stephen Michalowicz and Christopher Drost visited Santa’s workshop on Wendall Avenue back in November, we asked the big man if he had a holiday message for our readers. Busy as he was gearing up for the Santa Claus Parade, he graciously obliged us with a message encouraging moderation, healthiness, the cultural supremacy of Christmas, and unsettling laughter.
The video of his message is above. Merry Christmas, Torontoist readers. (Also, since we’re slightly afraid Santa will harm us for saying so, we’re putting it in parentheses: happy holidays, as well.)
