Overheard at the Truman household
[discussing the notion of mashing together as many Christmas traditions as possible]
"...and the kids could get a present from Sinterklaas and a present from der Kristkind and a box of fancy candles and coffee from St. Lucia!"
"So would this basically be Christmas for the lolz?"
"Christmas is ALL ABOUT the lolz. Do you know what Christmas was in Elizabethan England? Christmas was twelve days each year when all the businesses in London except the taverns shut down for parties."
(Also if you are bad St. Lucia will blow ashes into your eyes and Svaartepeter will kidnap you and take you away to Spain, where you will spend the following year chopping onions in the back of a paella restaurant!)
