Loads of grub & drink? 😋 😃
Originally most definitely as Christmas replaces a Pagan feast day celebrating the winter solstice Yule in Scandinavia or Saturnalia in Rome

Both would have involved loads of drunkenness and over eating(y)

So at Christmas eat, drink, and be Merry in the knowledge that you are celebrating ancient wisdoms:D

Or the birth of Jesus as you see fit(y)

Santa was originally quite a frightening character during Victorian times, only sanitised in the early 20th century created at the altar of consumerism:)
Then in the 21st century he allegedly has late night liaisons with blokes who are obviously in denial about many things. Not least the existence of Santa.

BTW...
I sent that video to Duck with no explanation attached. I'm listening out for the controlled nuclear explosion. Followed by reports in Ducks local paper of an angry man disemboweling the santa in the local shopping centre grotto! 😳

I hate hate cars parked on side of roads, "I know" a lot of people have no driveway so it's the onlyway to park, but many times I wish I had a tank and would drive over every fugging one to clear my way............selfish bastid ain't I

My wife related a similar tale circa 1980 of an estate agent in Surrey who attended A&E having ‘slipped while putting out the milk bottles.’ It was the talk of the hospital. They couldn’t grip the thing and withdrawal was creating a vacuum……. Fear of breakage inhibited radical action.

They ended up with the dentists. They used a dental drill to puncture the base and admit air and used a bent wire to retrieve….

If that’s the actual shell, it’s been fired and the scoring on the drive band that engages with the rifling would be ‘more than itchy’ 😳

Gives a hole new meaning to rim fire (sic).
