>>17121478>elves also live up to several centuries long and can have all the experience santa hasholy elfcope
thats like saying "oh if i spent a lifetime practicing basketball i could be as good as kobe bryant"
santas spent centuries gracefully untangling the logistical clusterfuck of effectively instantaneous global distribution. if the elves want any chance at being even half as skilled as santa theyd need to train for centuries.
they might have picked up some things here are there but being the assistant to a quantum physicist doesn't make you a quantum physicist. it wouldnt even make you a regular physicist since all the nooby shit would be invisibly intertwined with the inscrutable phd level shit
even if i was unfathomably generous and assumed somehow these plucky little elves got a decent hang of things in a decade or two (which is preposterous but lets pretend thats true) itd still monumentally fuck everything up
the elves practice for two decades
imagine two decades of "practice" christmases
imagine two decades of millions godforbid billions of people all over the world getting their presents weeks or months late or early
and thats assuming they even get their presents at all
you said christmas spirit fuels a lot of the magic which is true, what exactly do you think will happen to the christmas spirit after twenty years of shit christmases
that could unironically kill christmas, twenty years is a fucking long time. youtube isnt even twenty years old, imagine if christmas was shit since the day youtube launched up to today and then for a few more years after that
especially considering modern attention spans pretty much everyone would be over christmas except for the christians
and on christmas spirit, santa basically invented it
thats why he gets credit
at the very least he massively contributes to it
hes the one people imagine smiling handing out all the presents
hes the one people imagine going hohoho and being all jolly and generous and kind
its santa
