Santa claus isn't real. It's a bastardization of the very real Saint Nicolas. It's Saint Nicolas who brings presents for kids at night, and he does so December 6th. Also if you haven't been a nice kid he's gonna let Krampus kick your rear end. On Christmas eve it's just everyone in the family giving presents to each others so there's no reason not to do open them immediately. e: yes we receive gifts TWICE as kids in December. The sign of a superior culture

Actually, St. Nicolas brings presents on December 5th in the Czech Republic, on the eve of the St. Nicolas holidays. His presents are only lame stuff like sweets and fruit though. With that being said, I would prefer not getting anything from St. Nicolas if it also meant not getting traumatized by Krampus coming to our house when I was a kid. The smell of peanuts, tangerines and cheap chocolate still makes me nervous at 30.

There is a short story by I think Neil Gaiman where a salesman visits Sisyphus and Sisyphus is just this massive dude, I liked that. I like this too.

So is the implication that the parents meant to give their son a cat, but the cat died because the box was sealed with no air holes?

Y'all are dummies, the point of the family is just to show that the ghost is sad that either A. He doesn't have anyone to share Christmas with Or B. He's sad he doesn't have presents Probably A. The fact that he's a ghost doesn't mean the cat is dead, it's just meant to subvert your expectations. Ghosts don't generally like cute kittens

The author probably wanted to make the comic about a homeless person, but then realised that a cat would be a poo poo present from Santa. So they changed it to a ghost, and killed the cat.

In my family you opened presents on both the eve and the day, but don’t get too jealous; the eve was like the disappointment of Hanukkah swag condensed into one 16 hour interval of visiting every tenuously related person in a 40 mile radius, materially furnished by grunting midwesterners that are quietly bothered with how they are bound with a tradition invented by Sears in the 70s to buy things for children they didn’t make, so the gifts were clear polyethylene bags filled with Gobot parts and the bags still have the .50c Amvets tag on the rubber band cinch. Then Christmas morning was with immediate family and the gifts were clear polyethylene bags with with Transformers parts and the bag still had the $1.00 Amvets tag on them, because we didn’t have much money.

Maybe the end-of-year bonuses are nice?
