breath-of-yggdrasil:

So with Santa Claus being based on Odin and with all of the ‘believe’ stuff everywhere encouraging kids and adults alike to believe in santa and the spirit of the season…I can’t help but see Odin sitting in his hall with a big horn of mead, a feast on his table, a bright red Santa hat sitting jauntily on his head in place of his traditional pointed one, and a big self satisfied smile on his face.
