@tonyb - is that rabbit's job the same as a carrot's job would be for a donkey?

@qualiall - HA! yeah, and I guess the fox + wolf are just for steering...

That's ain't santah! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...

@tonyb he has a Christmas tree but I'm pretty sure he is saying Happy New Year.

In Soviet Russia, Christmas tree something something wishes you happy new year.

@asylum @bergus - just so you guys know - I grew up in teh CCCP - I was born in Kiev, back in 1971

the card does in fact say "S Novim Godom" which means happy new year basically. We still have a santa claus tho - we called him Father Frost (Ded Moroz) and he would bring presents and leave them under a decorated fir tree. All of this happened on the night of Dec 31st, and then you'd get your presents the morning of Jan 1st.

Of course, the evening of the 31st, all of the adults would be PARTYING HARD - total 3 generation feast with kids and parents and grandparents all eating and drinking until the late hours - lots of toasts and songs and well wishing - and then once you're all partied out you go to sleep and you wake up to presents in the morning

not a bad way to do it if you ask me!

@tonyb Awesome :)

Note I didn't pick on his open space satchel...

or the fact that he has a frozen fir tree covered in poky stars next to his PRESSURIZED SPACE SUIT

i am more excited with the fact that he has tamed a bear.
