Yeek! Nice and dark and sinister.
Happy Christmas! Yowza~You just KNOW that one touch of that green fur and it's like steel wool or fiberglass; it get stuck under your skin, never to be seen but always felt. Yep, if HE brought me prizes for my stockin' I'd remember...for nights and nights and nights. I imagine a chokey whisper that creeps over your blanket at night and freezes the hairs in your nose as he mumbles:" For you...." and plops that coal right in. And to all a good night!
Thanks Bryan.
Barb, Thanks, I think he doesn't leave presents as much as he punishes bad children. Definitely a list to stay off of.

It kind of reminds me of a celtic mythological figure - Cernudos/Kernudos - the horned god also known as the Green Man, that lived deep in the woods .
