Let's
face facts: Faceless Santa Pez is one in a million.

Pezhead
Monthly: Faceless Santa Pez, with every
possible ounce of due respect, you are really freaking
me out over here. Can you please describe your particular
condition for the audience?
Faceless
Santa Pez: Certainly, my boy. And please,
don't be afraid. It seems that someone on the Pez assembly
line forgot to supply me with a face when putting me together.
As a result, where my eyes, nose, and glasses are supposed
to be, there is simply a blank white cylinder. In fact,
I believe I have been referred to on several occasions
as "Cylinder Claus." It's kind of catchy, I
have to admit.
PM:
Well, it is good that you have an upbeat attitude about
your dilemma. You are one of those rare Pez dispensers
known as a "factory error." What are your thoughts
on this situation?

FSP:
I'd
like to take this opportunity to set the record straight. The
term "factory error," while likely coined by someone
with no ill intent, implies that there is something wrong with
who I am, that I am simply the result of an accident and should
be treated with disregard. This is so incredibly demeaning.
I am a Pez like any other Pez, with the same hopes and dreams
and spring mechanisms and patent numbers. My physical appearance
may be rather unique, but please look beyond my faceless visage
to see who I really am.
PM:
Thanks for sharing that, Faceless Santa Pez. How did it feel
when you finally realized that you might never be freed from
your plastic bag because of your condition?
FSP:
At
first it was quite frustrating seeing everyone being rescued
from their bags while I remained in mine. Rudolph Pez and Snowman
Pez, they're living it up out there, while I am still inside,
like a child who is grounded- except that I have done nothing
wrong! I'm not on the naughty list, I've even checked it twice!
PM:
I can only image the trauma you were faced with…
no pun intended. Are you doing any better these days?
FSP:
I certainly am. In fact, I have come to view this bag as a part
of me. It serves as proof of my unique place in the Pez universe.
I would not be me without it. I mean, if I should ever be taken
out of this bag, who is to say that I didn't originally have
a face, until some charlatan simply took it off after I was
out of the package? My worth would forever be in doubt. I wouldn't
wish that fate on anyone.
PM:
It is indeed comforting to hear that your attitude towards your
plastic home has improved. I do have one last question, Faceless
Santa Pez, and it is one that has been nagging me for a while:
if you have no face, and therefore no mouth, how are you even
able to speak?
FSP:
It's funny you ask, because all this time I have been wondering
how you are able to hear me! Sometimes the answers to our questions
are right beneath our noses, even when we don't have noses.
Merry Christmas to one and all!
