...or probably ever.



And, no, the picture isn't distorted.

Depressed furry Santa?

I think my favorite parts are the lantern and the patched sack.

I should show Daniel and Ellie and tell them that this is the Santa that visits the naughty children. Of course, Ellie likes cats so much that it could backfire.

Plenty of European versions of the Santa Claus legend have him traveling with a not-so-jolly companion who gives out bad presents to naughty children, or beats them, or even stuffs them into the sleigh and takes them back to the North Pole for a year of forced labor. Look up "Black Peter" or "Knecht Ruprecht".

...not that I'm recommending telling your children that Santa might abduct them. That could be bad.
