Santa Claus, circa 2010: read the contract before approaching

An article in yesterday's Toronto Star draws attention to one of the complexities of the modern-day Santa Claus:

Even Santa Claus himself didn’t have time to talk with the Star. There was a 30-minute wait to see the jolly man in red. Although, to be fair, his helper did explain that — even if he had a moment to spare — speaking to the media isn’t in his contract.

I wouldn't be surprised to learn that he required liability insurance to perform his job, too!
