"The spirit of Christmas isn't dead after all". - Santa Claus, to Clark Kent (Lexmas)

Santa Claus was a "professional" deliverer for Christmas presents at Christmas Eve 2005. Clark Kent found the inebriated Santa on a rooftop, considering suicide. Clark managed to stop him from jumping off the roof. The two had a conversation about the spirit of Christmas and what it has become nowadays. Santa pointed out that the commercial aspect of the Yule is what prompted him to say that the spirit of Christmas was dead.

Clark was able to cheer Santa up by telling him that he had set the first romantic Christmas Eve with his girlfriend aside to deliver presents to poor children in Metropolis. After mentioning that Chloe had given up the evening for the same reason, Santa was convinced that the spirit of Christmas was still alive. Nevertheless, he was drunk and fell off the roof. Luckily, Clark was fast enough to save him (and his bottle of spirits) in time. Santa was amazed by Clark's ability and disappeared into the night.

Later on, Santa visited Chloe at the Daily Planet in order to help her deliver the rest of the Christmas presents. Chloe hesitated, but finally agreed to supply him with the addresses. Chloe got distracted and when she turned around, Santa Claus and the presents had vanished into thin air.

[edit] Quotes

Santa Claus: Now, let me get this straight. You gave up your first Christmas with the girl you loved since you spied on her with your telescope to deliver these gifts?

Clark Kent: Yeah, well, I mean, I wasn't spying.

Santa Claus: (After being saved by Clark) Ho-Ho-Holy Cow!
