Come to think of it, that might have prejudiced people against even looking at the meme. They might have been like you, seen Santa, and went "oh geez, it's way too early for that, SKIP!"
And another thing, when one puts more effort into a meme than just picking a template and typing a few words, only to to get such a minimal reaction, it kinda takes the wind out of the sails for making more, doesn't it? *sigh*
