We compare two pop-culture subjects to see which you like better. To be included in next week's tally, vote for your favorite before noon on Monday. This week's match:

SANTA CLAUS vs. DEXTER MORGAN (from "Dexter")

Santa's good deeds are done. He's delivered his toys, hugged babies for weeks and "Ho, Ho, Ho'ed" himself through another season. On the other end of that scale, we have Dexter Morgan, the serial killer from the Showtime series "Dexter." He tries to do good deeds, too, only his involve murder. During this magical time of year, which person do you identify with most?

OCCUPATION

Santa: Jolly old elf who delivers toys to children around the globe.

Dexter: Forensic scientist who kills the guilty who have escaped the long arm of the law.

TOOLS OF THE TRADE

Santa: Flying reindeer, a sack of toys and magic sleigh.

Dexter: A sharp knife, some strong tape and a good alibi.

BETTER HALF

Santa: Mrs. Claus, who tends to duties at the North Pole and aids her husband in his quest.

Dexter: Rita Morgan, a divorced mother who has no idea she married a guy who kills people on the side. She needs to get a clue for Christmas.

AFTER HE LEAVES THE ROOM

Santa: People are pleased and very happy.

Dexter: Two people walk in, but only one person leaves - with a weird smile on his face.

LAST WEEK: PAT SUMMITT vs. BRUCE PEARL

Our pick: Suckers! There's no way WE would pick between the two! On Christmas Day, no less!

Your pick: Looks like Pearl's going to have to put in several more good years because Summitt took 76 percent of your vote. (P.S. Both teams looked terrible last weekend, when this poll was active. We hope we didn't jinx them.)
