Blue Santa

So certain people mocked me for wearing a blue Santa disguise. But little do they know I’m very culturally refined, so I know what I’m doing.

You see, the Russians have a Santa, too, named Ded Moroz (“Grandfather Frost”). He looks kinda the same; a bit different dressing style, often carrying a staff, and sometimes wears BLUE instead of red:

But that’s not the big deal. While we get Mrs. Claus as the accompanying female figure, the Russians get Ded’s hot granddaughter, Snegurochka (“Snow Maiden”). Americans get candy canes while Russians get eye candy.

So, yeah, I’m writing my letter to Ded this year.
