This season, I’m extra sensitive to all the white Santas popping up en masse all over department stores and dime stores. They’ve been there all along, but I’m more sensitive because of my own personal experience: a public not able to see that a Mrs. Claus can exist in the land of imagination.

If Santa is a fictional character, can there not be room for the diversity that exists all around? I contacted Ms. Santa in Tennessee, who hooked me up with the Wyntry Collection. I bought 12 rolls, $60 total, of adorable wrapping paper featuring brown Santas.
