Teddy was intensely curious about the change. "But why isn't he Santa Claus?" he asked.
"Well, Santa Claus was—made in Germany."
"Oh!"
"But now he has joined the Allies and changed his name."
"Oh!"
"And he wears mistletoe, because mistletoe is the Christmas bush, and red caps don't really mean anything, do they?"
"No, but Mother—"
"Yes?"
"If Santa Claus has joined the Allies what will the little German children do?"
What indeed?
