Also in the original Rudolph story (the 1939 book put out by Montgomery Ward) Rudolph isn’t born among Santa’s reindeer, Rudolph is born among a normal reindeer herd who exclude him because he’s different, but Santa comes and sees that he’s special and that his being different is good and I just feel like that’s a much more appropriate characterization of Santa, than a Santa who’s a shit to people who are different.

But I’m pretty sure Santa (Saint Nicholas) is the patron saint of sex workers and I’m pretty sure his miracle was giving money to the children of sex workers so their moms wouldn’t have to work on Christmas and that’s the origin of Christmas presents from Santa and IDK I feel like that makes Christmas in its entirety way better than if that weren’t a thing.

Residents of the squatter community of Christiana, Denmark, for example, have a Christmastide ritual where they dress in Santa suits, take toys from department stores and distribute them to children on the street, partly just so everyone can relish the images of the cops beating down Santa and snatching the toys back from crying children.

This is really excellent propaganda.

Why is my life turning into a wacky holiday comedy where everything that possibly can go wrong with holiday travel goes wrong? I swear to god if I don’t learn a valuable lesson about the true meaning of Christmas at the end of this process I have some serious complaints.

I’m worried it’s really obvious that I dote on D’s girl cousins

With the Xmas shopping I’ve done, the boys are getting like books and the little one is also getting a pretty badass gears playset while the girls are getting a dress each, a bottle of age appropriate perfume for each of the two younger ones, a mini age appropriate makeup kit for the older one, a lip balm each, and my favorite one is getting a book as well.

I am the worst.
