Is this story supposed to be good, or bad? I'm not sure I get it. Did they fire Santa and then have to rehire him?

after 18 yrs he had a fanbase.

i think what happened, piecing together the story from the craptastic article, is that he got fired when a new company bought out the old photography company he worked for and found out he was making 30k for 5 weeks of work (7 days a week, and long hours, but still alot of money even considering the hard work).

but the company didn't understand how popular he was, so they had to eat their pink slip.

Oh, well good for him. The moral of this story, is to be the best Santa you can be.

BTW, my neighbors are screaming at each other again, and I think someone just threw something, their baby is crying, and I can hear every word of it. Just thought I'd share.
