Santa Claus as a Size‐shifter—pt. 2, Slenderness.
On at least two occasions—once in 1912 and once in 1924—Santa Claus has demonstrated the power to make himself startlingly slender, a physical attribute that helps him to descend chimneys so as to deliver gifts, although in 1912, it results in his inadvertently frightening a child.
