Santa and the Cornucopia

One of the hallmarks of Santa Claus' attire and equipment is that of the endless sack of toys. Depicted in much of modern media as basically a pocket universe of infinite toys. This can be traced to older depictions of endless items of folklore such as the gifts of the Wild Hunt and Deities. But most notably with Sinterklaas and the Cornucopia. As Sinterklaas covered up several gods with fertility aspects including Wild Men Gods, Thor, Wodan, Krampus and Fro. These aspects of Fertility and Sun gods resulted in him attributed the Cornucopia with which he would give gifts of sweets, fruit, and even toys. Over time this imagery of the endless sustenance of the Cornucopia became the image of Santa's endless sack of toys as one of several figures that fed into the modern Santa Claus myth.-TLK

Rings

When we hear the word ring the first thing we think of are the modern finger rings used for wedding bands and membership rings. But especially in Northern Europe a "Ring" would actually refer to the Torc like arm bands that were often given as gifts or used for oaths. Draupnir which is owned by Odin was far more likely to be an arm ring that a finger ring as it is often depicted, and there is also the famous ring of Andvari AKA The Ring of the Nibelung horde. Which was cursed when Loki stole it, eventually resulting in the Dwarf Fafnir turning into a dragon in order to protect his horde especially the cursed ring that brought doom to everyone who held it. This tale of rings of power that bring doom has fed into modern media such as the Chronicles of Narnia where Eustace turns into a dragon after putting on an arm ring from a dragons horde, while Tolkien used it is inspiration for the ring of power in his masterworks. Though in the latter it takes the form of a more modern finger ring style.-TLK

The U.S. Navy has celebrated Thanksgiving in one fashion or another since before it became an official American holiday.
Arrayed below are Navy Thanksgiving menus f that span the first half of the 20th century.
Although some dishes (“Mayonnaise Salad” on battleship Arizona in 1917; “Baked Spiced Spam à la Capitaine de Vaisseau” on cruiser Augusta in 1942) have not transcended time and post-dinner cigars and cigarettes have also been left pierside, roast turkey, baked ham, and pumpkin pie have been the anchors of nearly every Thanksgiving feast at sea or on shore to the present day.
