The Green Santa...

Je'Amour P. Matthew December 14 at 12:39 PM · Who Is the Green Santa? Before the bright red suit became famous around the world, Santa Claus had another form — older, wilder, and deeply connected to nature. This was the St Nicholas or Green Santa or the Midwinter Greenman, a figure rooted in ancient winter traditions and the spirit of the earth. In early European folklore, the Green Santa — often known as Father Christmas — was not just a giver of gifts. He was the embodiment of winter’s magic, the turning of the seasons, and the quiet promise of renewal. Clothed in deep green robes, he symbolized: • the life hidden beneath the snow • the evergreen trees that survive the cold • the return of sunlight after the longest night • the sacred cycles of nature Long before modern celebrations, people honored the winter solstice through Yule, lighting fires and decorating with holly and ivy. During this time, the Green Santa appeared as a guardian of warmth, joy, and rebirth — a gentle reminder that even in the darkest days, life continues. It was only in the 20th century that the red-suited Santa became popular, replacing the older green-clad spirit. Yet the Green Santa still lives on in folklore, pagan traditions, and the heart of winter magic. He is the spirit of nature, renewal, and ancient festive joy — the Santa of the forests, the evergreens, and the old ways. - Ann Brigit Waters

Do you remember the way Nala looked at Simba???!!!...

The artist that made this saw this and I'm ecstatic Hello Star! Thank you for creating this beautiful work of art!. I love this so much. :Jólakötturinn" (Yule Cat) by Star Williams - Oil on Masonite "...The Yule cat (Icelandic: Jólakötturinn, IPA: [ˈjouːlaˌkʰœhtʏrɪn], also called Jólaköttur and the Christmas cat[1]) is a huge and vicious cat from Icelandic Christmas folklore that is said to lurk in the snowy countryside during the Christmas season and eat people who do not receive new clothing before Christmas Eve. In other versions of the story, the cat only eats the food of the people who had not received new clothing. Jólakötturinn is closely associated with other figures from Icelandic folklore, considered the pet of the ogress Grýla and her sons, the Yule Lads." https://www.artspaceshreveport.com/cm10-visual-star-williams https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yule_cat

Hugh Jackman As Gabriel Van Helsing, --- the handsomest, sexiest hero I've ever seen!!!...

Velkan is almost as handsome as Van Helsing. The actor was a ballet dancer, which explains his great contrortions... Love Carl's line: "Why does it smell like wet dog in here?" Hugh Jackman in his prime, at 35!!!... I was amazed at how fit he was. He did many of the stunts himself, --- lying on his back on a rig of galloping horses, pulling his whole weight up a 50 foot chain just with his hands in a minute, leaping to his feet after being rolled in a huge bell... It was filmed in the Czech Republic at a cold time of the year. Kate Beckinsale and the vampire girls were freezing, but Hugh, in a black turtleneck sweater and all that black leather, including black leather gloves, was quite warm. The hat he wore was one of a kind. As it got wet they kept drying it with a hair dryer. Richard Roxburgh was my favorite Dracula. Yes, there was considerable chemistry between Hugh and Kate. We later learn that Gabriel Van Helsing is actually an angel, --- "The Left Hand Of God," and Hugh Jackman is left handed. ;)

VERY BEST Krampus Parade: Seida Pass, Austria, --- 2016...

December 6th Is The Feast Of The Krampus!!!...

On the Feast Of The Krampus I always eat beef stew and drink red wine.

The Krampus (German: [ˈkʁampʊs]) is a horned anthropomorphic figure who, in the Central and Eastern Alpine folkloric tradition, is said to accompany Saint Nicholas on visits to children during the night of 5 December (Krampusnacht; "Krampus Night"), immediately before the Feast of St. Nicholas on 6 December. In this tradition, Saint Nicholas rewards well-behaved children with small gifts, while Krampus punishes badly behaved ones with birch rods. The origin of the figure is unclear; some folklorists and anthropologists have postulated that it may have pre-Christian origins, although historians generally consider this unlikely, as it is not attested until the 16th century. In certain traditional parades and in such events as the Krampuslauf ("Krampus run"), some young men dressed as Krampus attempt to scare the audience with their antics. Krampus is featured on holiday greeting cards called Krampuskarten. The figure has been imported into popular culture around the world, and has appeared in movies, TV shows and video games. --- Wikpedia. THIS YEAR'S KRAMPUS PARADES...

Sunrise Over Stone Henge...

Sunrise over Stonehenge — 07:49 AM, November 30, 2025 ☀✨ This morning, the world aligned in perfect harmony. At 7:49 AM, the rising sun slipped through the ancient stones of Stonehenge with breathtaking precision, igniting the horizon in gold and carving a luminous path across the frosted earth. 🌅 This beam of light is no trick of the eye — it’s the sun lifting over the horizon at the exact angle its builders anticipated more than four thousand years ago. They placed every stone with intention, crafting a monument that greets the solstice sun with a spectacle that still feels almost otherworldly. An ancient design meeting a new dawn. Human hands and cosmic timing working together across millennia. 🌍✨
