Many #Americans don't seem to understand that the financial crunch is being felt all over the world since the pandemic has started to subside (that's another debate). Compared to other countries, #America is doing better. People want #Biden to immediately cure every single problem that the pandemic and the #OrangeMussolini brought upon us. He's working hard to do it, and it's taking effect, but it's not enough so #trump must be better. Gimme a break.

Although Santa has readily been embraced in Japan, there was another cheerful, big-bellied figure bringing cheer to children long before old Father Christmas arrived on these shores.

Hotei (布袋) was a Chinese monk that lived in the coastal district of Wuyue. After his death, around 917, he became a Buddhist saint and was eventually made one of the 'Seven Gods of Fortune' (七福神) in Japan.
He shares many similarities with old Father Christmas.
