Christmas traditions are better in Europe:
In Spain’s Catalan region on December 8 families bring out Tió de Nadal (Christmas log). Every night until December 24, children are tasked with “feeding” the log by offering him nuts, dried fruit, and water. Kids must also cover Tió de Nadal with a blanket to ensure he stays warm and comfortable.
has collected their gifts from Tió de Nadal, the family burns him for warmth. (1/2)
Growing up my mother was very particular about the Christmas tree. We had a 'proper' tree in the living room and a 4' artificial 'kids' tree in our bedroom, to which was relegated all the crafts and weird stuff. When I grew up, I realized I really only wanted a 'kids' tree...

Holiday traditions are an important part of our history...
...which is why I try to create as many as possible.
It's nice to finally get some representation.

Just wait until I hit it big with my movie made from scenes stitched together of celebrities unknowingly reading my script one line at a time on Cameo.
That's me, the Great Wise Ass.

Sorry, I've been informed that I'm just a wiseass.
Happy St. Nicholas Day!
"In the Lorraine region of France, St. Nicholas’s companion is called Père Fouettard, meaning Father Whipper or Father Flog. He has a bit of a kinky vagabond look, wearing ragged clothes, donning a straggly black beard, and carrying a whip and chain. He’s also a butcher, and he attempts to eat children."

Got junk you need to get rid of? Keep the boxes from your holiday deliveries. Pack your junk in them. Leave them on your front porch.
1. You will get rid of some of your junk
2. People will eventually stop stealing from your porch
"You know what I'd like to be? A cartoon of some kind. You know, like when they get hit in the head with a frying pan or something, and their head looks like the frying pan, with the handle and everything? Then they just go *booiing*
[shakes head] and their head comes back to normal? Wouldn't that be great?"
