Second, they both lie: promise one thing but you end up with something else!

And they're both mythical non-existent creatures!!!!

[Tzaphkiel]

are they both leading me to a path of destruction, one through crass commercial materialism and worship of the dollar, the other through other assorted demonic temptation that lead me away from a simple path of good?

ha! keep them going!!!

They both get "in" through unexpected places

How could we have missed this one? I mean, Santa comes right down a blazing chimney unscathed.
