Does it though?

Merry Christmas, Lovelies! We've entered the final countdown. Won't be long now, and you see signs of it everywhere. Miss Molly Burke has been posting reels an videos promoting different products EVERYWHERE, giving her own unique rundown on precisely how each item resonates with her and why, and I have to admit it IS wonderful. She does an admirable job. However, the following reel gave me pause. Speaking as a member of the community Burke sees herself as a part of, wherein I wholly accept her, of course, I have one thing to say about the cute little novelty item featured in her latest video. https://www.facebook.com/reel/357174180236257 Here's the thing. Advocating for the Able community, of which I know and love many, many members--Santa goes down the chimney. That is the story perpetuated, that is the accepted reality and the story told to countless children for hundreds of years. Why introduce a wheelchair into the situation? And furthermore, even if he DID manage fine, driving a reindeer team and carrying a bag of toys down the chimneys with him, what about the transfer from sleigh to wheelchair? Granted of course, in a child's mind the story is just the story. Santa does whatever he has to do to make sure the job is done and the toys delivered. All it requires is a bit of suspended disbelief, which in this day and age is very refreshing.
