Santa Claus Family Tree
The ultimate in Wildpeople genealogy has been charted for your consideration.
In the current issue of Fortean Times, Wildman chronicler and artist Jeffrey Vallance has a unique, intriguing, entertaining graphic, “Santa Claus Family Tree.”
I asked Jeffrey if he would share it online with the readers of Cryptomundo, and here it is.

Wildpeople, forever, I say!
Happy Yule Yetis.

Perhaps some BF researcher using “call blasting” should next time “ho ho ho”.
The artist came tantalizingly close when he put a limb for Satan, but chickened out and did not include Jesus as a mythological person. Please add a branch that goes, “Mithras, Osiris, Horus, Dyonisus, Apollo, Jesus”….then your tree will be complete, although I could also see branches for Allah, Buddha, and other mythological beings too. Dare ya!
What - Elvis isn’t on there?
Sorry john-smith33000 you misunderstood–this is for things and people that generally are considered unreal beings. Jesus did exist and is attested to even in Jewish histories whatever else you may think about him and the people who believe in him. Perhaps you might try a little research before posting next time?
I thought this was pretty funny. I think Sherlock Holmes needs to be on there at some point. I agree that Elvis could use a spot too, he has reached near mythic standing at this point.
