Behold, Galactuclaus
If you’ve been good, he’s the Giver of Gifts. If you’ve been bad…, well, they don’t call him the Destroyer Devourer of Worlds for nothing.
So be good. For all our sakes.

Cold-blooded
Sometimes, Christmas is about helping those in need despite any differences one may have. By Ryan Bullard.

Deck the Swamp Thing
DC’s 2011 Holiday card. Artwork by Sean Galloway.
Iron Eyesore
You didn’t think we’d celebrate the holiday season without at least one Christmas sweater, did you? Iron Man artwork by Marco D’Alfonso.
Peanuts X Grinch
Artist unknown (let us know). After (by?) Charles Shultz.
Have Yourself a Very Uncanny X-Mas
Based on art by Marc Silvestri, you’ll find this Merry Marvel house ad in Uncanny X-Men (1963) #256. According to Chris Haizlip’s blog – The UnPublished X-Men – the Santa hats were added after the original art for purposes of the advertisement.
If you’re an X-Men fan, be sure to give The UnPublished X-Men a perusal. I’m sure you’ll find more than a few surprises.
Adventure Comics (1938) 113
Superboy and the citizens of Smallville (though not named) turn the tables on Santa Claus in “The 33rd Christmas.”
When a local man hits hard times his past good deeds deliver a future for him and his wife.
The homespun holiday tale, dated February 1947, is as American as a Norman Rockwell painting.
Looney Tunes (1994) 85 & 193
Just a Christmas cover for the 2001 year with issue 85, though the interior pages offer a theme of cold. Bugs, Yosemete, Beaky Buzzard and Sylvester and son weather frigid temperatures for some yucks.
DC was to recycle the cover for issue 193 10 years later for a “Looney Yule.”
Bugs and Daffy miss their turn in Boise to find themselves at Santa’s workshop. The desirous duck attempts to unionize the elves and receives Christmas culm for his efforts.
