Have you picked up on the discussions to adopt Santa as Libertaria's helper? There's further discussion on Elves, presents and things like trees, holly and other decorations. Here's some background on that.

• Elves
  
  Elves are Santa's helpers, making it possible to magically produce all the presents for all children in the world. In Libertaria, elves stand for the almost magical way in which free markets and competition work, making items ever cheaper to obtain, at higher quality and with ever more features.

• Giving Presents
  
  Just like the celebration of the shortest day, giving presents was also a pagan custom at least dating back to the Romans. Again, the presents represent the trend of items becoming ever cheaper, to the extent that they can easily be given away, merely to enhance the pleasure or the status of the giver.

• Decorations
  
  People in Northern Europe have a long tradition of bringing evergreens into the home during the longest winter days. In America, the custom that dates at least back to the 16th century, when German immigrants decorated pine trees in their homes. Money doesn't grow on trees, but in Libertaria the trees and the holly stand for the fruit that grows for free on trees. The mistletoe is another story.

I look forward to further thoughts!

Ho, Ho, Ho!
