Fresh Acts Of Santa Blasphemy

Once again, Japanese costume purveyors are outdoing themselves with even more WTF ways to impersonate Saint Nick, which (I think you’ll have to agree) is a pretty heroic effort if you dispense with the red suit, the beard, and even the tiniest nod to jolly…

This “Santa” looks like he might show up with a bag full of aliens, then click his ball pen at you to make you forget he didn’t actually leave you anything under the tree
Only in Japan does anyone think it’s remotely festive to dress up like a reindeer
And it’s hard to imagine being filled with yuletide glee after Bank Robber Rudolph and Lucha Treehead crash your holiday get-together
Deadpool Santa has already taken out his rival inflatable counterpart in the battle for Xmas hearts and minds
And even dogs get a share of holiday Santatude in Tokyo
The season wouldn’t be compete without Little Red Riding Santa, this year’s go-to Sexy Santa style
And it’s comforting to know that not only do you not have to decide between being Red or being the wolf, you don’t even have to be female to reap that Sexy Santa goodness

Happy holidays, fellow Japan warriors! And don’t forget that…

…it just won’t be Parallel Universe Christmas Eve without Colonel Santa dishing out the strangest Japanese Xmas tradition of all

It’s the year 1784 and the shōgun rules with an iron fist . . . except within the walled pleasure quarter of Yoshiwara. Inside the Great Gate, samurai law does not apply, and it’s women who pull the strings

The Samurai’s Octopus…is a truly remarkable book, one that surprised and charmed me at every turn of the page. You’re in for a treat.”
James Ziskin, Anthony, Barry, and Macavity Award-winning author of the Ellie Stone mysteries
