What are the three ghosts of Christmas like in the other world canon. I believe jacob Marley worked tooth and nail to get them to help Scrooge and Is the ghost of Christmas yet to come an aspect of death

I call them the "Three Santas" in my Otherworld canon.

The Ghost of Christmas Past is the spirit of Saint Lucy, chosen due to her association with light and sight, as well as her holiday being in mid-December.

The Ghost of Christmas Present was always going to be obvious. Dickens based him on Father Christmas, an English folk figure that evolved from pagan traditions who later merged with Saint Nicholas.

And finally, keeping with the theme of choosing saints, it only made sense I find one that personified death in some fashion in order to represent the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. The mexican folk saint Santa Meurte seemed like a perfect, albeit somewhat out of place, fit.

great-grandma's norwegian meatballs and gravy recipe

y'all remember that post about the person who fell out w their mom and posted her meatloaf recipe as revenge? well,

^ THIS is my mom's copy of my family's christmas eve norwegian meatballs recipe. i don't even celebrate christmas anymore, lol

don't worry, i transcribed and edited that mess into something more legible. here it is, under the cut:

recommended tools:

2 mixing bowls

whisk/beater

frying pan

spatula

ingredients:

12 tbsp very finely chopped onion

8 tbsp butter

2 lb ground beef

3/4 lb ground pork

1 cup bread crumbs

1 cup milk

2 eggs

4 tsp sugar

2 1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp nutmeg

1/2 tsp allspice

steps:

premix sugar, salt, nutmeg, and allspice

beat eggs

brown onions in half the butter

in a separate bowl from the sugar, mix the browned onions with beef, pork, bread crumbs, milk, and eggs. don't overmix, or the meat will become tough.

add sugar mixture to meat mixture, still taking care not to over-mix

shape meat mixture into 1 inch balls

heat the rest of the butter at a low temperature

add meatballs and brown over medium heat. shake the pan to keep meatballs round and ensure even cooking. serve alongside mashed potatoes, lefse, and søtsuppe!

St. Lucy's iconography is depicted in this Syracuse cathedral with eyes and a dagger because of how she was martyred.

From the Czartoryski Museum in Krakow

Fun fact: my confirmation name was Lucia, after Saint Lucy, who is celebrated on the winter solstice (though the date stayed on Dec 13 when the Julian calendar was changed to the Gregorian calendar). My grandma used to have a painting of St Lucy with her eyeballs on a platter in her guest room. As a child I was so freaked out by that painting that she would cover it with a towel whenever I stayed at her house.

Fun fact: Fred Moten is obsessed with this recording of John Donne’s “A Nocturnal upon St. Lucy's Day”. He says everything he’s ever written is about this poem.

My favorite stanza:

Happy winter solstice
