I once had a roommate from Mexico who started all her texts in our group chat with "Hey gays". Still not sure if it was a misspelling tbh.

I was in Luxembourg recently and in a bookshop I saw the latest Asterix book for sale. Latest as in from October 2023. They're still coming out, without either of the two original creators. The newer ones have parodies of Michel Houllebecq and Bernard-Henri Lévy, continuing the tradition of French guy references that meant nothing to kids like me reading in translation.

Charlie Brown wasn't really searching for the meaning of Christmas. His only concern was the Christmas play of which he'd been named director. Even after Linus gave his famous Bible-quoting speech on the stage, Charlie Brown's only inspiration was that his tree would somehow work. ("I'll take this little tree home and decorate it. And I'll show 'em. It really will work in our play.") We never see the actual play that so preoccupied Charlie Brown.

Santa is a Catholic saint. Specifically the saint of sailors, pawnbrokers, burglars, prostitutes, and children. Also he's Greek.

They're miniature because of perspective whilst they fly from the horizon to author's house. While I'm on my Santa Actualys, he also looks like a French trapper or similar as the author, an American in the early 19th century, describes the stereotypical frontiersman of the Western Reserve bedecked in fur and a barely kempt beard.

I've been reintrigued by the mini Santa is actual Santa but its really hard to check scholarship in 2023 because googling is santa miniature just wants to sell me miniature santas. I want fan art of a little Santa struggling to deliver an Xbox.
