Continuing on with the Christmas-themed shirts, here is Merry Hothmas!

The origin of this shirt is obvious to most, but if you’ve lived under a rock your entire life and don’t know the Star Wars reference, watch the video below.
In The Empire Strikes Back, there was a battle on the planet Hoth, in which the evil Empire had these monstrous attack vehicles called AT-AT’s (All-Terrain, Armored Transport).
The artist, Aegis, portrays the snowy, frozen scene on Hoth as Christmassy, and gives the Empirical AT-AT’s a Rudolphian appearance to take it to a whole other level. A very clever mashup of Star Wars and Christmas.

It really makes you want to rip open a Tauntaun for shelter…
You know what’s missing from the holiday season? Unimaginable horror.
So to ring in this Christmas Season, here’s a heartwarming story:
Did you know that in most cultures, Santa Clause does not travel alone? In most parts of the world, Santa comes and gives presents to good little boys and girls, but for the naughty boys and girls? Well, Santa’s counterpart Krampus comes and dispenses warnings, punishment, and sometimes just takes bad kids away in his napsack.
Traditionally, young men dress up as the Krampus in the first two weeks of December, particularly in the evening of December 5th. And as I’m posting this on December 5th, what timing!
Really gives new meaning to “He sees you when you’re sleeping, he knows when you’re awake, he knows when you’ve been bad or good, so be good for Krampus sake! …”

and apparently this dog has ongoing issues with this, as evidenced by his owner making him wear a helmet to prevent him from hurting himself….
