Santa can fly and magically deliver presents to all children in the world but he can still catch a flu? I think even children wouldn't believe that!

Now, if they had a condom-carrying Father Christmas I'd be happy!

That's pretty funny.

Its not a flu mask. Its just a plain old gauze mask just like everybody else is wearing. A hopeful name won't impart it with magic powers.

Santa is the benevolent old guy for kids. He says 'be good', and kids can relax and be kids around him.
He's being depicted here with earthly fears. Not Santas job to be a 'Nanny'. He has a workshop to run.

Santa had better be wearing a mask when he comes to my place to unload all ny presents - I don't want to catch any influenza or colds!

JT, I feel for you. You can't please everyone. You put pictures up of cute women too often and people say that you are one-dimensional, you try to change it up and only 8 comments are posted. How do you win?

Masks do nothing against the flu. It's spread only by direct contact. You won't get it sharing air and the like, short of someone coughing or gobbing directly into your mouth.
