Many years ago Sveta and I made this video from a Russian archive we found. Since then thousands upon thousands of our readers have watched this movie in the last few weeks, not including the 10’s of thousands before that over the years. Therefore, once again (and again over the years), I updated it and I added a link this year to allow anyone to download the file and keep it. It is a Soviet classic and some web browsers do not play the file correctly. It is now in both FLV and MP4 available above… (Or here.)

If all else fails just click the image and it many times will start playing. It works good in Chrome, fair in Firefox, good in Opera, and terrible in IE…

This way you are able to watch the movie and use your video player inboard your OS…

Twas the night before Christmas, when all thro’ the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse…

Stop!

Get that out of your head, like I had to, and watch this Russian version, and do not have those sugar plums dancing in your head…

The other version is of the Western Santa Claus. The Russian version is the video above that Sveta and I spent painstaking days trying to get it to a position, that English speakers could attempt to watch it. This version has now been stolen and used on YouTube as “their own” original… LOL… 😉

“The Night Before Christmas” – a story written by Russian writer Nikolai Gogol…

Sum it up: Interesting story (Part of the Farm Series by Gogol,) about how on Christmas Eve, “The Devil made Me Do It!”

Nikolai Gogol

Night Before Christmas is a story of the sins. Taking the form of a fairy tale and we all know fairy tales are vicious stories of the old times. This video tells the tale with a devil, a woman, Vakula the blacksmith and the intertwined people amongst them all. Vakula wants to win the heart of the woman – named Oksana…

This is wishing you an upcoming very Merry Christmas, from Sveta and Kyle…

Night Before Christmas: Russian Style… (Video)

“Nothing is true, everything is permitted.”
– claimed to be the last words of Hassan-i-Sabbah (1034–1124)…

While very few people know that this code was actually stolen by advertisers in AD 1200 and that it is now a very Western Empire slogan to live its existence by….yet it still is not as it seems and therefore if interested….read this link about the origins…

“Nothing is true, everything is permitted.”

Thus, we can do and get away with anything!

I tried to catch Santa once! It was a goal of mine as a little tyke. I had to prove to everyone that Santa was real and that no matter what, there was a Santa…

Santa is real and I think telling people who want a Santa that there is no Santa, is akin to destroying Christmas. Santa is in the heart and Santa does not represent material items to me. Santa represents, God and Jesus to me…

I just look at him like a different messenger for God. Now I realize that we have commercialized Santa, but then we have a commercialized God even more. Santa is a one day a year proposition and God is at the very least a every Sunday, money-maker and many people make that Wednesday, Saturday and I have seen the plate passed asking for money, 7 days a week…

Neither one is right and moral, just that one is a lessor of the evils. I can not help that we have created a world based on greed and it has taken over all our lives including religion…

So I tried to catch Santa as a little tyke and that is what makes me laugh as I see this photo about catching Santa. I was the cat…

I would even get up in the middle of the night and check on my trap. I remember eating the cookies one Christmas and the milk was hot. That did not go over well with me. I like cold milk. Then I got worried that Santa would miss his treat and I tried to get more cookies and such. I knocked the cookie jar off the counter and broke everything. That messed up that trap. Why I even had a rope around the plate of cookies and milk. To be honest, I was not sure how that would trap him, but at 4 years old, you just knew that cowboys roped things and it had to work; Right?

It all started about how to catch Santa when I was around three and I watched my parents put out cookies and milk. In the morning the cookies were almost all gone and the milk was definitely gone. I remember that I was so excited, “Santa was here! Santa was here!” I screamed and that was the start of the plans to catch Santa. For if he ate the food, he could be caught; Right?

That was the same at how I set up rabbit traps and that I did all the time. So it was no surprise to me when I never caught Santa, I never caught any rabbits either…

Then in the same token, I never have seen or caught Jesus and or God. In fact there are many mythical wonders that I never caught and saw first hand…

But that never stopped me from believing and destroying people’s spirit about things as God, Christmas and a thousand other things, is just downing life to the max. We have such few real treats in life, that we deserve a bit of imagination and dreams…

“Yes world there is a Santa Clause!”
I just never caught him yet and when I do, I will let you see him…

All Hail Queen Omicron…

A month ago I talked about Queen Omicron: and it looks like the USA has fallen to the Queen? All kneel to Queen Omicron!

The Omicron strain of the coronavirus now accounts for more than 73% of new US cases of Covid-19, up from 13% just a week ago, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported.

Bad Queen and where is King Covid-19. Is he retired?

On Monday, TASS reported that Senator Andrey Kutepov, a legislator in the upper house of Russia’s parliament, had produced the draft law, which sets out legal principles governing robots and their interactions with people.

I hope that the minds better than the average Upper House representative in parliament has in Russia, does the research and expertise work on such an important issue?

Something about ‘sharpest tack in the box’ and ‘politicians’ seems to be a good contemplation this morning…

Three Laws people….just remember the Three laws! Asimov has already done the work for us…

1. A robot may not injure a human being or,
2. Through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm…
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.

“First, I need to stress one point that is extremely important, I have never said or written that anyone has sexually assaulted me, I have to clearly stress this point,” Peng said in the latest clip. Peng added that her post on Weibo was a “private matter” which “people have many misunderstandings” about. Peng, 35, claimed to have been living at her home in Beijing without supervision since global concerns for her safety were raised, and said that she wrote to WTA chief Steve Simon last month to deny the allegations of sexual assault she had apparently lodged against 75-year-old Zhang Gaoli, though the latter figure wasn’t mentioned in her new video address.

Remember I said:

Peng Shuai? Western lie to set China up to degrade Olympics coming up…

This reminds me of all the lies spouted about North Korea and eating babies and using aircraft guns to execute innocent people and then having the innocent people show up and all okay. No babies eaten also!

Just another Western Lie to discredit whom they hate and are scared of…

My my the western world stepped in it again…

MOSCOW, December 19. /TASS/. /TASS/. Nasal coronavirus vaccines have big advantages in terms of herd immunity because a person cannot transmit the virus after vaccination, Alexander Gintsburg, director of Russia’s Gamaleya Center, said on Sunday.

Interesting and I read that Putin has used this spray already about two weeks ago…

Here:

Moscow (CNN)Russian President Vladimir Putin has tested an experimental Covid-19 nasal vaccine that is not yet in clinical trial phase, his fourth vaccination in total, he said Wednesday.

Can NATO spell out exactly “where” they believe that Russia can house, train, feed and exercise its Armed Forces? A place so that they (NATO) don’t get upset?

Hey NATO! How about if Russia puts all their army on the moon? That make you happy? Geez Wiz….People…

~~ Siberia? Mars? The Moon? The bottom of the ocean? ~~

The Russian forces are hundred plus of kilometers from Ukraine and are actually closer to Belorussia and the Polish border and they are in a long time base for Russia’s own forces…

So let me ask, “Where in the hell do you want Russia to keep their own armed forces?”

I need a good laugh and please NATO, tell us where you think Russia should keep her very own armed forces?

Maybe in Russia?

Why that is where they are right this minute… 😉

WtR

Pray tell NATO? Where would you desire Russia to place its armed forces?

Kinda feel better after getting the realization that I did not have Covid-19. Sveta and I are very careful, but after having so many people we know die from Covid-19, you get nervous at times…

We received a painting yesterday from a friend of Sveta. Actually a painting sent by his wife to be exact, for he (friend) is no longer with us….Covid-19 took him several months ago…

Received yesterday…

Interesting painting and we have another one from the same painter….I am not sure why we received it and the exact driving reasons why we got it, but….we have it and I hung it last night….the painting is from and by the dad of the wife of the friend of Svetochka whom just died from Covid-19…

The whole family got Covid-19, one died, two are basically semi-bedridden for a very longtime, one (the painter/dad) has given up on life and refuses to ever get up again, and several more recovered. I do not know how extensive the whole family is….but it whooped the family badly…

This is the first one we received years ago…

Painted by the gentleman (painter mentioned above) and thus, a touch of his soul is available in the work he does…

I like them and we are very glad that we are the recipients of some of his work…

I hope he recovers and paints more, as we like his paintings very much…
