No Christmas for the Pentagon

Santa's yearly trip will be one stop short this year.
  
     

 

             
 

Santa has officially announced that he will be passing the Pentagon by this year. "Their status on the 'Nice List'has been questionable for some years." the jolly, old elf told reporters, "This latest incident has just sealed their case. I'm afraid I have no choice but to move them over to the 'Naughty List.'"
This announcement took place after this summer's encounter between Santa and military troops. (See related article: Six Tiny Reindeer?) We were recently able to question Santa to see if he had changed his mind, but his decision appears to be final.
"Quite frankly, that's one stop I'll be glad to miss. The Pentagon has no accommodating chimneys, and it's always been quite a drain on my elfly magic to circumnavigate their security system."

       Pentagon officials claim that Santa has never infiltrated their offices. States one representative, Mr. Ty Tlips, "The idea that a 300 pound fat man with no security clearance could just stroll into our offices unchallenged is absurd."
Our question for Mr. Tlips, "That's a lovely Christmas tie you're wearing. Where did you get it?"
"It's a Christmas gift from last year. I went back to my office on the day after Christmas and it was just--" Mr. Tlips suddenly looked flushed, "I'm sorry, that's all the questions I have time for today."
So it seems our nation's security headquarters has seen it's last Christmas visit.
