No you are not! You try to take over too many places of power! I refuse to let you become Santa!

I think Hector is auditioning for the part of the Grinch, rather than Santa.
Oooh, am I allowed to look in my sock yet or do I have to wait until tomorrow? Extra sweets... sound promising!

Luckily for us, Hector does not actually have any presidential powers aside from his good looks and gigantic muscles.
CHRISTMAS IS SAVED!!!! |

Hector, I was listening to the radio and Hector Berlioz's "L'Enfant du Christ" and I thought of you. Merry Christmas Prez! You know Tessar, you're right about the President not having any (practical) powers. He's like the head of state. Ben is the head of government, the one with all the real powers. *invites the homeless guy in for a sandwich, a soup, and a mug of hot chocolate* Who else wants some of Nurv's famous hot chocolate?

Nurv, God Bless the radio station that was playing L'Enfance Du Christ during this Christmas season...unlike Handel's Messiah--which was written for Easter--Berlioz's work was actually meant for Christmas.
By the way, you should search out the whole thing: it contains a very Christmas-y Trio for Two Flutes and Harp. One of THE lovliest pieces ever composed.

It was CBC Radio 2! (CBC is Canada's nation-wide radio station.) You can listen to it too. Right now they're playing Oscar Peterson since he recently died.
In defence of playing Handel's Messiah: 1. It's still about Jesus 2. Choral work lends itself well to Christmas concerts/atmosphere/etc.

Oh I'm not against Messiah being played during this season, or any other for that matter...it's just that Berlioz's work gets drowned out so much, that Christmas should be a time to bring it out in order to emphasize it.
P.S....I'm afraid I don't have the plug ins necessary for over-the-net live radio

Merry Christmas!!! I'm finally in! Can I start unwrapping my gifts now? I've never done the whole presents for Christmas thing before, so I'm not quite sure when I can unwrap them.

"What is the meaning of this?" asked the Witch Queen. Nobody answered.
"Speak vermin!" she said again. "Or do you want my dwarf to find you tongue with his whip? What is the meaning of all this gluttony, this waste, this self-indulgence? Where did you get all these things?" "Quiet, your majesty." Said a heroic Hector, standing up. "We were given them. And if I might make so bold as to-" But the witch didn't wait for him to finish his sentence, for at that very moment she whipped out her wand and turned our dear Hector into stone. CS Lewis, The Lion The Witch And The Wardrobe, ch.11.

But lo and behold! The magic of the witch reflected in the nametag on Aeran's new collar and bounced back to hit the witch who then turned to stone! Now Mari and her friends where safe once more. But what to do with Hector who turned to stone? After a little threatening of the Dwarf by Mari with her mace, he reveiled there was an antidote to undo the stonification. To get this antidote they would have to travel far, very far. So Mari decided to gather a few friends to undertake this dangerous journey with her. Until I do you'll have to wait a bit Hector. I must say, you do look rather nice as a statue here in the cafe. It gives it all an artistic touch.
