Frosty the Snowman and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer; only one can live, the other must die. Who shall it be?

Yes, along with the rest of the world, economic hard times have hit the North Pole. After round the clock labor negotiations between Santa and the elves union representatives, it was decided that their daily food rations had to be increased. With the naughty and nice hedge fund having lost 20% of its value in 2009, the only way to accomplish this is by "sacrificing" either Rudy or Frosty. The Conundrum community holds their fate in their hands. Will the elves be having venison for dinner or snow cones for desert?

I really don't have the heart to eat Rudolph. After all, how terrible his life can be? Being bullied and laughed at when he was young and when he thought he got acceptance and family, his so called family eat him as Christmas dinner? Life is indeed cruel.

Excuse me while I grab some tissue.

On the other hand, this story will make a great horror movie.

Well, Rudolph is a very vital part of Christmas day, since he helps light the way when he and the other reindeer pull Santa’s sleigh across the world. Therefore, I would not root for eliminating him from the picture. However, Frosty the Snowman sort of “dies” each year anyways, as he melts away in the midst of the first rays of late-winter sunlight. Although, he comes to life again and again in the spirit of the song, when the winter season ends, Frosty and all his snowman pals are temporarily dead and unable to “live” during the warm weather that follows. Rudolph on the other hand is able to continue to exist in a cozy stable, while munching on apples and carrots. Since this is their natural way of existence, I would not change much and just let nature take its course. Frosty “goes” with the onset of spring and Rudolph will continue to take Santa around the world, even on Christmas Eves when no snow has fallen.

Well, I would be sad, just like when I watch the show every year, but I'd say Frosty. After all, anyone who has ever watched it knows that Frosty dies anyway and magically comes back every year. I prefer to live in my own reality where Rudolph is immortal, thus he will never, ever die and Frosty always returns to delight all of the little children. And okay, maybe a few of us big ones, too!

What a great question! I think that Rudolph has to be the one to go. His job can easily be replaced with technology anyway. If Santa can make PS3s and remote controlled airplanes, replacing him shouldn't be too difficult.
