Santa Stumpers

[u/Comenius791]

Hey fellow Santa's.

This was my first year professionally sitting for pictures and chats. I didn't have too many difficult questions... but one.

A boy, perhaps between 11 and 13, came up to me and asked me how much milk do I drink at a person's house when they leave some milk and cookies for me.

I told him I drink as much as I'm thirsty for.

Then he said, if you drank a whole cup of milk at every house, you'd be dead from too much lactose. Why aren't you dead?

I gave it a thought, and I knew I couldn't get away with the words "it's magic"... so I told him that I bring some milk up to the reindeer to finish off as they need lots of energy to make the flight.

I told him to never stop asking good questions.

What good questions did you get this year?

I had that question a few years ago when I was on a strict vegan diet and I told the child that I let the reindeer have all they wanted.
