Not so raunchy with the twerking ...

Melvin Udall: Never, never, interrupt me, okay?

Not if there's a fire, not even if you hear the sound of a thud from my home and one week later there's a smell coming from there that can only be a decaying human body and you have to hold a hanky to your face because the stench is so thick that you think you're going to faint.

Even then, don't come knocking...Not for ANY reason.

If your site goes down a couple of times, it's bad luck, however if it goes down more than 50 times someone really is out to get you :D

Anyway Merry Christmas everyone and apologies for the following video! :plus1: :beer:

Don't call me a troll, but my hypothesis is, Santa is of course not really about Christ, Santa has many characteristics of Odin / Wodan that many don't know about. This amalgamation of beliefs, or syncretism, occurred during the early Christianization of Germanic peoples and the Norse.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Claus

"Some maintain Santa Claus also absorbed elements of the Germanic god Wodan, who was associated with the pagan midwinter event of Yule and led the Wild Hunt, a ghostly procession through the sky."

When the early 1st millenium European Christians forced the Vikings of old to give up their polytheistic pantheon of Old Norse gods (think Normans and Ye Olde Germans, to start) for the new religion, for "The Nailed One", the peace agreement left some pagan holidays in the calendar, like vestiges of an old empire.

Think about it! Christ never cut down an evergreen spruce and stuck it in his house! Norsemen did, however ...

And Christ never had REINDEER, dude! Or a SLED. Norsemen did, however ...

And this last point refers directly to Old Odin - sneaking into houses by CHIMNEY to visit his progeny - his "illegitimate"children, yet still his very own. This takes a bit a backstory.

Old Odin would disguise himself and visit the town incognito (see why below - Frigga). He would very often seduce some lovely ladies - partnered yet or not, and often father a child with those many young women, much to the consternation of his nagging wife, Frigga. Angry Frigga. Hence the subterfuge.

Back then, raising a mixed family was no problem in Viking culture - husbands often died, young moms remarried and "step children" were treated just like family. And it was an honor to raise your chieftain's brood as your own.

But one couldn't openly galivant around, even mighty Odin, though everyone knew Old One Eye had his noncturnal emissions. Frigga, his fiery wife, openly forbade it and worked against any rivals to her legitimate maternity. She was undoubtedly the strong-willed daughter of an older, fiery chieftain.

Hence Wodan's secrecy, the insertion via chimney at night, when all were asleep, the secret presents left at night in stockings over the fireplace. All signs of Norsemen culture.

"T'was the night before Christmas, when all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse."

He couldn't stay, they were his illegitimate love-childs, but he could give them presents every year at Yule, the midwinter festival held at winter's solstice.

Fun story, huh? Them Viking kings were wild, and their women, fiery!
