Happy Christmas and Merry New Year.
I suppose Blue Santa is an interesting marketing idea, and something different. Someone in this complex has a Blue Santa decoration outside their door.
I am not against Blue Santa at all, but commercialism and professional sports comes to mind. Blue Santa makes me think it is Santa's away/alternate uniform/kit (depending on where you live). If Blue Santa can catch on there is money to be made.
On the other hand, here are some pictures of Blue Santa performing charitable works off the web and so Blue Santa can be just as much of a benefit to society as Red Santa. Perhaps they are twins, or Santa just wears the away/alternate uniform/kit sometimes.
This time of year in the Northern Hemisphere, drivers can be faced with dangerous road conditions and dangerous drivers. These clips are entertaining but driving this time of year has me ponder on human mortality. It is so much easier in this world to destroy than create and traffic accidents demonstrate this well. Hebrews 9:27 comes to mind as it appointed for persons to die and after this comes judgment.
Icy Russian tunnel: One can turn the volume down as the crashes cannot be heard. I am not a fan of the song, but this video version is good and the other comparable versions featured a dance number or a song filled with the 'f' word.
Cited from You Tube:
This 3150 m long tunnel in Russia is the longest in-city tunnel in Europe. There is a river running over it and water leaks at some points. When the temperature reaches -38 degrees like it did this winter, the road freezes and the result is the attached video taken during a single day with the tunnel camera.
December 23, 2007: A minivan crashes into Chicago's ABC7's State Street studio Sunday night during the live news. Cousin Ray, I hope you were not involved. I like the comment about the formerly cosy studio now having a draft.
In the comments, Chucky has mentioned Green Santa, who is from Japan.
Merry Christmas Russ.
ReplyDeleteLove the videos mate.
My son will love the tunnel one as he is a tunnelling engineer.
Hope you are having a great Christmas day.
Russell.
Thanks, Russell!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas.
I think I'll avoid renting a car if I find myself in Russia in wintertime...
ReplyDeleteThere is a green Santa in the Top Ten Strange Santas from Japan. Weirdest is "Samurai Santa"...you better watch out!
Thanks, Sir Chucklins. I shall place Green Santa in the article.
ReplyDeleteSanta in many colors. Interesting --
ReplyDeleteYes, Santa has come in many shapes and sizes, so why not colors! I like the blue Santa. There are so many different blues going from cobalt to navy; and also many shades of greens, browns, and even whites. How about this one. In Scotland Santa wears tartan, so many to pick from. In Hawaii a grass skirt? (I don't recommend that one.) The manufacturers and retailers could make a "killing" trying to keep up with the latest shades and styles.
Personally, I still like the RED one the best! It fits perfectly with the rosy cheeks, red nose, and the round belly that shakes when he laughs like a bowl full of jelly!
Greetings Russ,
ReplyDeleteHow do you come up with so many videos? They are most enjoyable to watch and quite entertaining.
If that had been the U.S. instead of Russia, how many attorneys would have been fed for a year?
Have a GREAT New Year!
Joyfully Serving,
Kermit
Whoa! Crazy studio clip! We certainly didn't hear anything about that down here in Texas!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if it was just a stunt Ch. 7 tried to pull off for better ratings!

Happy Boxing Day (even to those in the USA) and New Year to you!
ReplyDeleteThanks to all!
Hello, Anonymous.
I like the red and blue costumes. I would not mind if Santa was in blue for a change sometimes.
Hi Kermit.
To mix things up on this blog I search for new material which includes videos. There is a loose sameness to the type of blog articles I present in order to maintain readership, but I also want to provide somewhat new and different presentations for satirical and theological consideration. I appreciate the encouragement!
Hey Wade.
That would be quite the ratings stunt. The station could have potentially hired someone to then jump out of the car and hand the news anchor a Pizza.;)
Russ:)
Blue Santa? Red Santa? Green Santa?
ReplyDeleteIt's like Mario, Luigi, and Wario! I hope the variant colors talk with Italian accents :) Just kidding.
"Its-ah-me, Santa Claus!"
The Santa$ remind me of professional sports. The red can be the main kit and the blue, green and white alternate$.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Big D.
No question about commercialism, but I think the blue Santa is more soothing.
ReplyDeleteShades of red and blue, usually darker, are my favourite colours. My blogs indicate my preference.
ReplyDeleteI think you have a common view concerning, blue and I agree it is soothing with Santa.
Blue
Blue is today know for its soothing and harmonious character and is now the favourite colour of many.
Blue is the colour of the sky and the ocean, it has a calming effect and it is considered to be one of the most profound colours. It can be steadfast or light or friendly.
Red
When you think of color, red is often what springs to mind. Red can represent power and love, but it can also mean forbidden and blood. Red can attract or repel or elevate or enrage.

I wonder if the guy that dropped the weight on his head died? I saw the weights bounce enough that it could have landed on his face.
ReplyDeleteThe gay workout was funny. Thanks for the LDS posts. Rick b
