Where's the Christmas Spirit Gone?

Oh, my God,I don't know what the world is coming to. I really don't. Today I heard about how Santa got a parking ticket. I am serious. Who gives Santa (or more accurately a guy dressed as Santa, but whatever) a parking ticket?

What happened was that there was a guy dressed as Santa riding in a open horse carriage, with a SUV behind it stuffed with toys in New York City. I guess when the carriage stopped, the SUV stopped too next to the carriage. And when it did it doubled parked next to the carriage, and a cop gave him a ticket!

Who does that kind of thing? I mean the guy was trying to give kids toys for Christmas, and he ends up with a parking ticket. In my opinion he shouldn't have to pay it. Where has the Christmas spirit gone? Things definitely have changed since my mom's time (she's the one who told me about it, like I actually read the newspaper), if by the way she said, "My God, what's happening to the world?" is any indication.
