Don't like a part of a story? Wait until the author's been dead for over a century, then publish the edit yourself...
Santa Claus is taking a step towards bettering his health and is putting his pipe away.
At least that's what publisher Grafton and Scratch have suggested after releasing a new edited version of "'Twas the Night Before Christmas."
In the classic story Moore spoke of Santa with the "stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth/And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath."
Well not any more. Santa has gone smokeless after author and former smoker Pamela McColl, spent $200,000 to delete that verse in her self-published version.

I wonder when they'll take away Frosty's pipe too. Also why would a snowman smoke, that's gotta be worse than meth for their mouths.

How many kids start smoking because of Santa Clause? When did Santa become the cool guy everyone wants to be?

At the risk of this thread turning political an getting closed: (Who cares? It's not my thread.
)
You know who smokes and there's surprisingly no fuss? The President.

If the president smokes, than his wife needs to focus on telling HIM to stop instead of telling us to STOP eating this and that :P
on to the on-topic...
I never even paid attention to his pipe, similar to frosty.. because honestly i found cigarettes to be worse than a pipe... maybe that's just me.Wishlist:

Pipes worse, you don't have the filter. Hipsters buy the damn things but don't inhale maybe Santa does the same thing.
