Dear Max and Eva

So you see, on the surface these two old dinosaurs look very similar. But if you scratch a little below the surface you will right away find the true Santa. I will not deny that Santa Ralphus is also a Chameleon of Santa-Claus, exactly as he himself claims. But try to scratch him a little in the head below and you will immediately find his real Chameleon identity!


And have you ever really seen a "politically correct" Santa Claus, who was smoking? Certainly not, but see here below how Santa Ralphus is so poor that he is actually using his own pixy hat as an ash tray!

Santa Ralphus told me that he once had 65 reindeer working for him. Now he has lost almost all of them and thus finds it difficult to keep above water with the few remaining ones. So he needs a helping hand. Why don't you try to help him out here, Max and Eva!
 



Well, he doesn't worry too much about sinking, for he has so high thoughts about himself that he actually thinks he can walk on water.....or at least bicycle on it. But try to check if he really holds water! 

Well, when Santa Ralphus found out that I was coming to Zurich to investigate all these things, he got so mad that he right away took both me and my children, Daniel and Lalou, down to the police station and locked us up in some vaults like the one you see below.
This was not very nice, indeed, but do you know who saved us?

Well, we found our way to some other underground vaults under the Grossmünster Cathedral where one of our own family members "saved" us. For Charlemagne seen here was actually canonized by the Pope as a saint. But he was also the man who many years ago founded Zurich. Above you see Daniel and Lalou in front of their 33rd great-grandfather, the 1st emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, Charlemagne or Karl the Great.
You can see how we descend directly from him here.

 

So while Santa Jacobus' family has helped found and build up this beautiful city, Santa Ralphus and his 65 reindeer have been running around destroying much of it. You can yourself see some of their devastation here.
Try with your mouse to stop Chameleon Ralphus - who on the picture above had climbed all the way up in Zurich's twin towers where he is standing next to another image of the city's founding father on the Grossmünster Cathedral. From up here he is ready to smash even more of the city. Why? Well, in the ruins he will create - if you don't stop him - you will see him wander around searching for debris - the only materials this desperate "Santa" has to make gifts from for next year's Christmas.

Santa Jacobus is not quite so destructive. No, on the contrary you can help him here to re-build two other twin towers which he greatly misses as the parking place for his reindeer when he flies in to visit you from the cold north. For until that very week when you were born, Max, these two buildings made up the beautiful view from your apartment on Elizabeth St. in New York. Try to point at their old place and see how easily Santa Jacobus can make all our dreams happen!

And finally, if you are still not convinced that Santa Jacobus is the real Santa Claus, then click here to hear him actually talk to you....
....and you will have absolutely no doubt any more!
