not really...

That's got to be an awkward parental moment...

Mommy & Daddy:
"No, I'm sorry, Santa won't be coming this year, because Brazilian crack dealers shot down his hilocopter"

Little Timmy:
"But mommy, daddy, why? Why didn't Santa have an armed escort and body armor?"

Mommy & Daddy:
"Because, little Timmy, Santa's budget money allocated for body armor was spent on no-bid contracts with oil companies who had connections with senior elves, and his armed escorts from the Blackwater corporation we're detained by the police when they shot up a school bus they "miss-identified" as a possible threat. "

Little Timmy:
"Oh"

Christmas sure ain't what it used to be.

the children were very sad as they had expected Santa to arrive by helicopter

Heartbreaking ...
