25 Days of Horrible Holiday Decorations: Santa Fairies

There's nothing wrong with Santa. He's fat, he's jolly, he's got rosy cheeks, and he loves giving free shit away. There is no reason to change Santa, no way you can make him better, and as far as I know there is no one out there demanding a new and improved Kris Kringle.

So why do these ornaments exist? Why has Santa Claus been slimmed downed, put in clothes befitting a court jester, and given wings? Why were Santa Fairies created if not to piss me off? How does a Christmas tree benefit from the inclusion of these mincing, pointy-shoed, anorexic Santa Fairies? All I can think when I see these atrocities is that a Santa Fairies cartoon series cannot be far behind. If that is the case, then God have mercy on us all.
