Santa is a quantum being. His probabilistic nature means he can be in every house at the same time on Christmas.
This is why it's vitally important noone sees him. If he's observed the probabilities collapse and only one house gets presents. #Christmas
If you have anything you want to sneak into the house, #Christmas Eve is absolutely the best day to do it. You can just rush through the door carrying anything while shouting “don't look! don't look!” and people will happily close their eyes. Next thing you know you’re eating a bucket of KFC safely in the bathroom
Today I learned that LEGO has a program where you can send them your old LEGO (bricks, pieces, mini-figs, etc). LEGO will then take them in, wash / sterilize them, and donate them to children in need!

‘Tis the season to remember that all of Santa’s reindeer are female.
You see, males drop their antlers after the Autumn mating season, so since the world’s most celebrated reindeer are always depicted with spectacular antlers, we must assume that Ol’ Saint Nick’s entire intrepid team - including Rudolph - are female. #science#Christmas
We finally put up the Christmas tree! Not finished decorating, so not posting a full picture, but here are the Mastodon baubles my wife made, in their rightful place 😊
Today, December 24, NYPD detective John McClane arrives in Los Angeles to reconcile with his estranged wife Holly at the Nakatomi Corporation Christmas party (Die Hard, 1988)
Here's my #ChristmasTree for y'all! At the base, one of the Auxiliary Telescopes at ESO's Paranal Observatory. Above it, the Magellanic Clouds, two small galaxies orbiting our own. The tree-topper is 47 Tucanae, a globular cluster containing millions of #stars.
How is it even possible that this is happening during #Christmas and we here in Europe just get on with celebrating. Another case of our sense of normality being radically shifted.A year ago this headline would have seemed awful, impossible to anyone; but now this is where we are at. #Gaza
