The things some people can do with a pencil and paper are just ridiculous. The things some people can do with Photoshop or iPad apps is just unreal. Art is amazing! But what might be as impressive as any of that is what this guy did with MS Paint. He created an unbelievably photo realistic picture of Santa Claus with everyone’s favorite stick figure drawing medium.

Christmas Man. Daddy Christmas. Grandfather Frost. Yule Man. Yule Elder. Yule Gnome. Yule Goat. Father Christmas. Old Man Christmas. Biblical Magi. Christ Child. Christmas Log. All those names are names for Santa Claus in other countries around the world. Calling him just Santa Claus just seems so boring in comparison, doesn’t it?

Every generation changes Santa Claus to fit with their times. But at the turn of the 20th century, ol’ Father Christmas wasn’t just getting an update to his stature (in the original "Night Before Christmas" poem he used to be a tiny elf), his ride was also getting modernized.

What’s that you say? Santa’s existence is actually impossible? Sure you may have heard some of these facts stated before, but never this musically—or with this much absurd animation.

I know it’s not yet December, but if you’re already feeling Christmas in the air, bless your cheerful soul. Here’s a quirky accessory that lets you plug a hole in your phone with Holiday cheer. It fits into the 3.5mm audio jack, doubling as protection from dirt. It hasn’t happened to my phone, but dirty jacks can cause problems with your gadget’s audio.
The hat is made of plastic, polymer and a bit of fabric all glued together, decorated with acrylic paint and then varnished. Obviously the hat won’t look as nice if you happen to own an iPhone 5 or any other device that has its 3.5mm output on its butt. Maybe someone should make a Christmas stocking plug for those devices.
You can buy the Santa Hat earphone jack plug from MyBookmark for $9.50 (USD). The shop also sells non-Christmas-themed plugs. You Grinch.
