Satire: Santa Claus

by dkeviv

Created on: December 14, 2008

Long Long ago, so long ago the economy of the entire world plunged into a great great depression like never seen before and will never be seen again. There was virtually no trade. The entire world was very much depressed not just economically but spiritually. People started questioning the almighty even though all their sufferings were of their own make. People lost faith and lawlessness prevailed. The whole wide world was in chaos. Nobody wanted to give anything to anybody and became very self centered. There was no spirit in anybody and the entire world seemed to be dead.




So the world leaders met at the center of the world to discuss their plight. They sat down to formulate a strategy to make this world alive again. They tried giving bail out to the businesses and tried to increase the liquidity by decreasing the interest rates. But nothing seemed to work. The consumer confidence was so low that they didn't want to spend anything other than for their bear survival. They were perplexed. They were afraid, the entire world will go back to stone ages.



The world leaders couldn't think anymore because they are all dumb. So they put up a committee called the "The committee for economic revival of world " made of 4 people, one the greatest economist of the world, one the greatest theologist of the world, one the greatest marketeer of the world, one the greatest philosopher of the world.

The committee for economic revival met on Dec 1.

The economist said " The main reason for the depression is because the consumer confidence is low and the consumer spending is at all time low"

The psychologist said "The main problem is that the people are so depressed and it is a mass psychological phenomenon that prevents them from even going out let alone spending for anything."

The theologist said "The actual reason is people have lost all faith in God and so they don't believe in civilized ways anymore. They are losing humanity and spirituality. When civilization is lost what can you say about the economy."

The marketeer said "So we have to come up with an idea that will bring back faith in God and act as an anti-depression pill and bring back the consumer confidence."

At the end of the day they devised the greatest plan made ever to save the world and decided to implement it on Christmas. It is called "Santa Claus". Thus came to existence, the spirit of giving, the spirit of joy, the spirit of selflessness, THE SANTA CLAUS.
