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.

    Bring on the Snegurochka! It’s kind of like Hugh Heifner in a blue smoking jacket and a beard.

    This is why they will bury us, make no mistake.

    @Blunderprone: Pretty much. Unfortunately, I was editorially overrided on posting some more Hefner-level stuff.

    @Kate Dino: In Soviet Russia, you bury them!

    You may write to Ded. I will write to Snegurochka (”Snow Maiden”)directly and invite her for a cup of coffee and some play with christmas presents.

    You know, if she visits you and not me, I will NOT be happy.
