I noticed the irony that Tom Flynn really looks quite a bit like Santa when he’s in his Anti-Claus getup.  Then I happened to read a tribute to Christopher Hitchens by Daniel Dennett, and the picture of Dennett made me investigate a bit further.  Now, I give you a surprising number of famous atheist “Santas.”  Mouseover for names.

I may not be posting new stuff until the 26th, as we’ll be busy partying with family.  Joyous Chrismahannukwanzaakah, Happy Yule, Merry Solstice, Felicitous Humanlight, and so on and so forth.  Whatever you’re doing during this season, I hope you have fun.  Tom, I hope you enjoy the easy drive to work and the peace and quiet once you get there!
