Text on the meme

Santa believer mental gymnastics Santa brings everyone their presents on Christmas night with his magic Santa denier mental gymnastics He's made up by corporations to sell Christmas stuff But also literally all parents are part of the same conspiracy to make their children believe Regular people just buy and wrap ALL the Christmas presents The cookies just happen to be eaten next day Santa at the mall is just an imposter in disguise

What it means

A two-panel stick-figure comic contrasts the mental gymnastics of Santa believers with those of Santa deniers. The joke is that both sides invent elaborate explanations to preserve their preferred view of Santa, especially regarding presents, cookies, parents, and mall Santas. It is commonly shared as a sarcastic reaction to debates about belief and skepticism.
