#COMPANIONSofCHRISTMAS: Mrs. Claus!
Mrs. Claus was once better known by her given name, Alba. She was the nymph of the silver fir tree, a captain in the retinue of the goddess Artemis, and she first met Saint Nicolas when he came to do battle with her Lady. 1/

A study by Putman et al examined four populations of western fence lizards in Los Angeles, comparing more and less urbanized areas. Their research suggests that lizards in more urbanized areas (using more human-made structures) have shorter limbs and toes than those in less urbanized areas.

Shakespeare's comedies are about jocks and his tragedies are about goths, I don't make the rules. Hamlet is a goth who hates his stepdad. King Lear has three goth daughters. Macbeth kills his boss because his goth girlfriend told him to. Bottom: jock.
