In the future, nearly everyone who goes online will get a present for Christmas.  The Santa Claus you get that gift from will depend on who you share your data with.  Maybe you'll even get a gift from both Santas, if you play your cards right.  (Just don't be caught being naughty.) And don't worry.  Santa will know EXACTLY what you want.
