🎅🎄December 19th: Photo With Santa🎄🎅

I’m a whole day late posting this AGAIN AAAAAAA. Proud of how this santa looks, though!

Tomorrow’s prompt: cold winter air (I got mixed up the last time)

[Image ID: the first image is a warmly coloured illustration in alcohol markers. It shows a traditional Christmas scene of a Santa’s Grotto. Father Christmas is sat in a big wooden chair draped in tinsel: he looks slightly gnome-like, with a round nose and large, pointed ears. On his lap, cradled in one arm is a small, elfish toddler, dressed in a green Christmas elf outfit and bawling furiously while tugging on Santa’s (very real) beard. In the background, two Christmas trees sit either side of the chair, and tinsel is draped on the wall behind them.

The second image is focused on the toddler’s red face, their eyes scrunched up.

The third image is cropped in on Father Christmas. He looks tired. End ID]

Seeing as I've just noticed the Wonka experience trending literally everywhere, I'd like to note this sort of situation (minus the AI) is common across all of Scotland - particularly when it comes to poorer towns. Or at least it is in me and my family's experiences, both our own and heard from others

I distinctly remember my mother taking me to a Santa's grotto that had something like £15 entry and it was in the back room of a fucking pharmacy. Had two vaguely wintery posters pinned up for ~ decor ~ and the Santa was drunk

#posts from the orphanbasement #So if you're wondering why we're all cynical pricks it's because our childhoods are full of stuff like this lmao #just absolutely filled with disappointment. promised so much and given Santa's grotto in the harm reduction room #(note that I am glad said harm reduction room exists)#(very much so. but it just isn't the place for a grotto haha)

Christmas FM Experiment | FC Santa Claus | Part 2: Relentless Rudolph

#ChristmasFMExperiment #FCSantaClaus Part 2: Relentless Rudolph. @FCSantaClaus run riot in #Ykkonen and their exciting team of young reindeer even upset Finland's best in the Suomen Cup. But could they wrap up a famous treble? Read here:

Christmas was always a particularly hectic time of year for Kris Kringle, but 2023 was his busiest yet. No sooner than he was done with the sizeable task of delivering presents to every child around the world than he and his reindeer were reporting for action at FC Santa Claus. Kringle had 33 days before the Finnish season began, so he spent January tucked up in his delightfully quaint Lapland…

Church of Santa Maria and Convent of the Concepcionistas , Viveiro (No. 2)

It was built in 1725 by will of Mª de las Alas Pumariño and it was ruled by cloistered nuns. The gate and the main access to the convent are remarkable. Their delicious pastry can also be bought here. Inside, there is a large three-floor cloister with arches on the ground floor (18th Century). It is a beautiful chapel open to worship, with beautiful tombstones and other artistic elements. The Grotto of Lourdes is a recreation of the French one in honour of the Virgin; it was built in 1925. The numerous wax votives offered in gratitude for human and animal healing stand out.

The Monastery of La Concepción, is a monastery located in the historic center of Vivero, Galicia. This religious building is governed by the Order of the Immaculate Conception.

This monastery is of Romanesque style and since1982 it is considered together with its surroundings as an asset of Cultural Interest, within the catalog of monuments of the historical heritage of Spain.

It is a convent of Renaissance design, built in the seventeenth century. Its façade contrasts with the Romanesque apse of the church of Santa María del Campo, located in front of the convent.

The interior of the convent church contains the tomb of its foundress, María de Alas Pumariño. On the outside of it was built, in 1925, a replica of the grotto of Lourdes, in imitation of the existing one in France. This image is highly venerated by the people of Vivaria.

DAY ONE: Steve Harrington x fem!reader Steve was sure this was worse than his Scoops Ahoy uniform. It had to be. It had bells.

Robin had simply rolled her eyes and told him to be grateful she’d managed to get them both something that paid this time of year, so Steve muttered something under his breath and jammed the hat on his head.

He jingled when he walked.

The green and red outfit was a kind of velvet, shorts above his thighs and striped tights that made his leg look like candy canes. The hat had a bell on the end of it and so did his fucking shoes, two gold balls on the tips of toes and he sounded like a christmas carol as he called the next kid in line.

“Santa’s ready to see you, buddy, just go through the curtain.”

Being one of the mall’s Christmas elves was definitely rock bottom. Steve was sure of it. But then you appeared above the crowd of kids crying and yelling for Santa Claus, shouldering past the tired looking parents. You had a few bags in one hand, filled with presents and wrapping paper, a takeaway cup of something hot and sweet in the other.

“Please tell me that’s for me,” Steve mumbled appreciatively, groaning when you handed him the coffee. He took a sip, cheeks flushed pink, eyes rolling back in theatrical pleasure. “Have I told you how much I love you today?”

You grinned, nose still scrunching at his flirting, even years later. “You have, but I’m not opposed to hearing it again.”

Steve beamed, eyes brighter than they had been before you approached and he took you by the crook of your elbow, pulling you behind the ramshackle frame that ached as Santa’s grotto. He mouthed a quick plea to Robin, who merely sighed and took up the boy’s position at the front of the queue, doing her best to wrangle the kids.

Now hidden, Steve ducked down to kiss at your cheek, feeling brave enough to catch the corner of your mouth. He tasted like coffee and vanilla and you hummed, accepting his thanks with the upturn of your face.

“Bad day?” You pouted.

“Kids are insane,” Steve huffed back. “And their moms are worse. Y’know one tried to pinch my butt?”

You snorted, unable to take the boy seriously, not when his hat jingled as he shook his head. “My poor guy,” you soothed, biting back a grin. “It’s ’cause you’re such a hot elf.”

Steve made a face. “I don’t think that’s possible, it’s the hat, y’know? It’s ruining my hair, it’s so—”

You moved closer, tugging at one of the gold buttons that ran down the centre of Steve’s chest, your fingers slipping between. “Well, I like it. You look adorable.”

You watched Steve swallow, cheeks going pink, eyes darkening as his gaze slipped to your lips, to your hands and the way your fingers were trying to seek out the warm skin under his uniform. “You do?”

You nodded, grinning.

“I mean, adorable wasn’t really what I was aiming for…”

“No?” You pressed yourself onto your toes, shopping bags crinkling between your knees and Steve’s. You found his lips for a kiss, a sweet one - soft and gentle, the slightest peck that Steve tried to chase. “I could just spend all day on your lap, telling you what I wanted for Christmas.”

Lips parting, Steve almost dropped his coffee. He coughed, cleared his throat once, twice and blinked away the spell you’d cast on him. He nodded vigorously, the little bell of the end of his hat tinkling rapidly. He was red in the cheeks, flushed to his fake, pointed ears and he looked like he was struggling to remember where he was.

“You can- you can totally do that, yeah.”

“Yeah?” You asked through a laugh, brows raised. “Come see me after work?” You were already backing away, returning to the throng of kids that were pushing at Robin’s knees.

Steve was still nodding, pushing a palm to his crotch, cheeks on fire. “Yeah, yeah, fuck— I’ll come round.”

You grinned, pleased with yourself. “Good. Bring the hat.”

As a Scandinavian this sites obsession with Gävlebocken is incredibly funny. Like. A julbock is just a normal christmas decoration around here. That’s just an average Christmas decoration scaled up. Imagine if there was a Santa’s grotto or a giant candy cane statue or a nativity scene that burned down a few years in a row somewhere in the US and everyone on the internet just got incredibly obsessed with it burning down or otherwise being destroyed every following year. Hilarious

Christmas FM Experiment | FC Santa Claus | Part 1: Father Christmas And His Reindeer

#ChristmasFMExperiment #FCSantaClaus Part 1: Father Christmas And His Reindeer. Welcome to a brand new festive #FMExperiment as we take control of a heavily edited @FCSantaClaus. #FM24 Discover our new team of festive heroes here:

Christmas is around the corner so I thought we’d use Football Manager and, more importantly, the FM Editor, to spread a little festive joy. I started researching Christmas-related football teams and discovered the brilliantly-named FC Santa Claus, which is based in the city of Rovaniemi, in Finnish Lapland. The club, for obvious reasons, has “fans” around the world and developed a legend about…
