Reminder that the American Santa used to be thought of as about two feet tall, which is how come he can fit down the chimney. 'A *miniature* sleigh and eight *tiny* reindeer' runs the poem. Look how big he is in this early illustration, compared to the chair.

My first Xmas present was a pair of Santa's big red boots in plastic and a doll. The house didn't have a chimney but mom said Santa / his elf came in through the windows hahaha

Do you hear the sound of hooves on the roof? Cloven…hooves…on the roof. And is the chimney being ripped apart as Santa descends to bring you a headbanging Christmas and a thrashy New Year!

We can hear the children playing, we can taste that Bailu air.

We can smell the smoke that's swaying from the chimneys over there.

We can see in every picture there's a game a great deal richer than a thousand open worlds that feel so bare.

I remember being skeptical of Santa when I was younger and lived in Florida.. because how could Santa get in the house when there was no Chimney?!

My poor parents tried so hard to get me to believe 😂 👽

The monastery at Rila in Bulgaria - mostly mid 19th century rebuild of 10th century foundation - vivid and enigmatic frescoes amongst the deep umber hues of a steeply forested valley - the last pic is an enormous chimney inside of which sits the old kitchen
