Archaeologists think they’ve found Santa’s bones
Santa season is here and on December 25 many young children will be tearing open gifts they believe were dropped off by an incredibly efficient delivery man who swooped down their chimneys and bestowed presents upon them. Santa, as children today think of him, is of course not real (sorry), but the mythical figure is based on what some believe was a real-life saint and now archaeologists believe they’ve got his bones.
Researchers from Oxford University have been studying human remains that, legend says, are those of St Nicholas. Hailing from the fourth century, tales of St Nicholas paint a picture of an incredibly generous (and fabulously wealthy) man who became famous for his gift-giving nature, but actual evidence that the man was real has remained elusive. Now, samples of bone have suggested that the man may have been more than a myth.

“I saw Mommy stabbing Santa Claus.... Underneath the porch so snowy white...”
I think archeologist don’t know who Satan is.
oops!
Who is Santa?
More human remains to venerate!
Meh. They’re in front of Scott Calvin’s house.
Sure took long for that snow to melt, though.
Are you serious, Clark?
Well, that explains why that team of archaeologists was in my chimney.
Well, that rules out the USPS, FedEx and UPS.........That means Santa is still alive.
Don't forget, we were led to believe that Bobby Ewing was run over by a car and killed too......
Reminds me of the Norman Rockwell pic of the kid who just discovered a Santa suit in his parent’s dresser drawer- he’s standing there dumbfounded with the hat and fake beard in his hand.
Someone should upgrade that pick with a skeletal arm hanging out.
Years ago, he skydived from a plane and his chute did not open. Lots of kids saw Santa hit the ground and bounce. No presents that year.
It was then some professional Santas said they were just Santa’s helpers dressed as Santa.
Then there were those white belt Santas back in the 1970s which were really Hari kirishas begging for money.
