Norwegian newspaper published a death announcement for Father Christmas!
The fabricated obituary printed a box in memory of “Dear Father Christmas, born 12 December 1788,” the BBC reports. The death notice also specified that Father Christmas, the same figure as the American Santa Claus—died in Nordkapp, the furthest point North in Norway. A funeral allegedly was to take place Dec. 28.

That's a lie, just spoke to him on the phone to order my boy's presents... Nobody and nothing can kill Santa, cause he lives in every small or grownup child's heart...
twazzle70: Im thinking that you yourself Mike is Mr Santa Claus.. The timely arrival of the beard....I am picturing the santa outfit on you,and its looking like Mr Claus is alive and well admiring large chested ladies in the London area..

I truly hope people who read about Santas death don't believe a single word of it. We all know Santa will come this year too!
Any idea why they published this? Next thing you know they will tell us that there was no "Alice" in Wonderland! blasphemy! well...maybe not "blasphemy", but it would be quite disturbing indeed.

No Dragos, I’ve no idea why they published it. My wildest guess would be someone working for the newspaper. A similar thing happened in Finland, when a priest trainee told the children who had gathered in the church “the Santa doesn’t exist”. All children were disappointed and some of them cried.
I Think it's unfair to take the joy from the Children!
