Peruse this edited Christmas (PDF) edition of the Juvenile Instructor, complete with the usual garment ads, sly attempts at motivating parental guilt, and, best of all, a pro-labor parable of elves on strike at Christmas City, with fatcat management Santa forced to change his ways.

A demented L. Frank Baum might have written about the kinky-beard Santa who leaves behind pictures of starving kids on Christmas day. Yes, it’s about time for Santa to take a break from ignoring* the billions of starving people in order to put some of his Christmas omnipotence to good use!
Anyway, I think I feel a new family tradition coming on. I can even now picture a joyous Christmas morn wherein we all become acquainted with the awful condition of the Greeks and so forth. Indeed, I declare that every time Christmas falls on a Sunday, it will be “Fast Christmas” at my house. Hurrah for the Juvenile Instructor!
*Why isn’t there a serious investigation into the theodicy of Santa Claus?
