Vin Diesel: Ghost of Christmas 4EVA!

  Charles Dickens, although generally respected, had one widely apparent flaw: he was unable to predict the future correctly. His classic tale The Christmas Carol has touched the masses, but very few that enlightened enough to know that the story was unfinished.

Behind the behive scenes!

Santa is not your dad. Santa is an octopus. Unless you are a baby octopus, you have been living a lie. When did mid-November get here?
