Do I love this? I love this.

The Jovial Secret Brotherhood of the Santae.

Terry Pratchett, a junior brother of the Santae, used his knowledge of the purpose of Christmas to add one of the greatest additions to his already-popular Discworld line of novels.

Also, if the Santae are being killed off, does that mean everyone’s Winter Festival is getting a little grumpier and meaner by the second?

I’m feeling a great “Hogsfather” vibe from this, and that is Good.

Awesome!

I love this idea. Sometimes in our horror games we get too focused on the might and power of evil and forget that there is strength and power in good as well.

I think this contradicts too many other Marvel Christmas stories to be a good Doctor Strange tale. Do it with Doctor Spektor. I haven’t seen him in years.

If this story doesn’t feature a charge from an elvin army riding magical glowing reindeer, then you’re doing something wrong.

So…the evil otherworldly emotional vampires are in-laws? Somehow, that doesn’t make mine any more creepy.

But will there be a Santae Baby?

And don’t forget the Robot Santa from Futurama!

I guess this makes Bill O’Reilly one of Earth’s greatest protectors.

Damn, I feel dirty typing that out…

Considering the stress, wailing and gnashing of teeth that comes with the Christmas rush, the whining kids and desperate parents, etc. it would seem they haven’t been doing that good a job…

Why do you think someone’s getting away with killing Santas?

Maybe there are less convoluted ways, but are there better ways? I for one think not.

@Phil

No, there aren’t.

You know, there are less convoluted ways to set up a story that ends with Doctor Strange dressed in a Santa costume while battling the forces of despair.

And where do the Belsnickels and Naluyuks fit into this? And what about Zwarte Piet!? Let me guess–he’s the first to die. He always is.
