Scary Christmas

In the spirit of "Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas" (1993) and "How the Grinch Stole Christmas!" (Book by Dr. Seuss, 1957 and TV Special 1966)...

I call this series "Costco Consumerism, Christmas Capitalism and the Making of a New Japanese Univer(sal)ity Tradition..." (December 2024).

Bonus shot: "Deflated Santa and Frosty"
