Say it with us

Highly quotable.

It's just that Santa doesn't like children who are husky.

Santa can't fill up a stocking when it's hanging from a rearview mirror now, can he?

The premise

Here’s the bit.

Working the Santa line at a department store, the Vancome Lady greets each waiting family with a bright smile and then finds an insulting excuse to send them away: a boy is too heavy, a family is too poor and a mother and son are Jewish. The cruelty escalates until Santa himself steps in, fires her and sends the children home with a blunt announcement of their own.
