His sleigh doesn’t seem like an appropriate New Eden ship but I have a feeling that gankers wouldn’t care about that detail.  
Poor Santa 🥺

Time to go to sleep… and post something for the season. Night night lovelies!

Also: when your grand-grandma got really wasted on Christmas punch, she would talk about the day she met Santa, Mickey and Minnie…

…and then would run in terror to the nearest closet and try to lock herself inside.

I understand, although I like the video for it.

I don’t mind the Santa as a myth but you’re right, weirdos dressing as Santa with children he doesn’t know on his lap is just not right. Especially that he will not be the one to bring them the gifts so it’s like a big con and the poor kids are being lied to. I never lied to my kids. I told them there was no Santa but I love them enough to buy them anything they want for Christmas. For them **I** was Santa.

She’s simply awesome.

I was waiting for Interstellar 2, but if the director in question is Nolan, you know it is gonna be great. Hopefully they’ll use sidenotes to fill in the details to make something like Peter Jackson’s LOTR/Hobbit. Also, please don’t make Polyphemus out of a puppet. It doesn’t have the Yoda effect. I mean it.

Since nobody asked for it, here comes a Christmas Special of things your ancestors did for Christmas…

…they would go buy a Christmas tree, like here in Germany in 1895…

 ![Going home with a christmas tree 1895](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/b/a/9/ba92d827c80601ead2b679dda92216bf3669a59c.jpeg)

…they would attend Christmas classics like The Nutcracker, here in the original production in Saint Petersburg in 1892…

…no matter what, they would keep a smile, like these RAF POWs at the Colditz Castle in Germany, 1941 (Colditz was a high security camp for airmen who already had escaped from a camp…)

 ![RAF POWs at Colditz castle high security prison xmas 1941](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/6/9/7/6972ee33fb994cafae0d7d8a431a565def205a64.jpeg)

…sometimes, Christmas could be creative (Copa Girls, Las Vegas, 1956)…

…even more creative on the definition of a Christmas show… (The Rockettes dance routine, Christmas 1967)

 ![Rockettes dance routine Xmas 1967](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/4/d/4/4d4dafca6c0bf021211a04f1389d0bdd53750e4a.jpeg)

…sometimes, Christmas could get weird (like, seriously)…

 ![Merry Christmas Stanley 1950something](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/d/2/2/d22aa9e6e5e2c8ff4158c84260823f3f4696e168.jpeg)

…and sometimes, could get even weirder (with Frank Zappa, Gail Zappa, Jimi Hendrix and Paul Caruso at Apostolic Studios New York…)

 ![Frank Zappa Gail Zappa Jimi Hendrix Paul Caruso at Apostolic Studios New York July 18 1967](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/8/a/1/8a1839e51958f72807367d9c0d56f909eb4fe0c9.jpeg)

(Frank Zappa & al with a Christmas three …in July of 1968)

…when your grands where kids, surviving Santa aggro was not an easy task when they were back from walking to school in the snow uphill both ways…

 ![You better run before Sandy Claws gets you](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/f/3/b/f3b12c0a4d86965672e50407fc3d1b5c0b95e8eb.jpeg)

…but sometimes the Santa was just cool, like, Alice Cooper cool, in 1973…

 ![Alice Cooper Claus 1973](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/4/3/c/43ceba11abb70070ed5a1283818b4235358adc27.jpeg)

…and then it would get weird again, with a pinch of Wolfman Jack playing a good boy…

…but overall, the Christmas spirit would prevail…

 ![It feels like Xmas spirit](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/2/c/a/2cac6b91a3da54d5b48cbba6ec2dae85aea6a365.jpeg)

…and they would come to unwrap a present of sorts.

 ![Candy Cane Mary Tyler Moore 1960 something](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/0/d/0/0d0752b219c0be8d987ffb83281077c2efe8a612.jpeg)

A little boy was in a bus eating a chocolate, then he took another one and then another …

A man next to him said, “Do you know that too much of it will damage your teeth?”

The boy replied, “My grandfather lived for 105 years” The man asked , “Was it because of eating chocolate?”

The boy replied, No, he was always minding his own business.

Truly impressive days our grands had back then. Dressing dapper and stuff.

Buy and stock canned Tuna as not only Yellowfn is overfished.

Canned Tuna can be stored for the coming 2025 shortages.

Don’t take my word for it.

Buy a few extra tuna tins this week.

/make sure that you pay for your food preparation via cash only as they will be monitoring who is stock piling.

Better also stock spirits too…

Tuna and spirits so you and your cat can survive.
