Can you see him there, in the top left corner? I admit that he does look like he's had a bit of a fight, and has a nice bruiser growing right on top, but otherwise, it is a pretty impressive resemblance.
But resemblance of who?
I'm going to post a couple of ideas, and you need to help. Either vote for one of my options, or post your own! And if you are really enthusiastic, send some friends over to vote too!
Choice 1: The beatific vision of Martin Luther
Martin Luther once saw the devil. So he threw his inkpot at him. (What would you do?). The inkpot broke against the wall and you can still see the stain to this day.Luther was the great reformer who in 1517 nailed his 95 thesis to the church door in Wittenberg on Halloween night. He is remembered for his love of food, and especially beer. In fact, one of his mottos is "He who loves not women, wine, and song, remains a fool his whole life long". Another was "sin greatly then repent greatly". Needless to say, he'd be a great person to have around at Christmas, with his wife Katherina von Bora who was also a great brewer.
Choice 2: The reverend Saint Thomas Aquinas
Thomas was a dedicated monk. He was also a great scholastic. In fact, he single handedly brought Aristotle into the western world, and created a synthesis between Aristotelian thought and Christian doctrine that would dominate until the enlightenment (and in fact, is still with us in many ways). His family didn't want to have him be a boring monk and scholar. They wanted him to take up the family buisness. So they hired a prostitute to tempt him out, but unfortunately, Aquinas grabbed a fire brand from the open grate and drove her out. Determined guy wasn't he? So determined that he would insist on a Regent visitation in December? That is up to you to find out!So vote now, and let me know who you think our Christmas visit is from!

Doesn't matter who it is.. as long as no one gets pregnant.
Kinda looks like Stalin...
I think this is pathetic. Protestants heads up! (If it wasn't for the Christmas tree, oh blessed Luther, I would surely go for John Calvin, but I strongly doubt that J.C. would care too much for Christmas. Thus, he is not worthy of this particular nomination. Hawk!
I was basing it entirely on looks, and not necessarily on their views of Christmas. Anyways, they are dead now, and would have seen the truth and beauty of Christmas and thus would be again able to be nominated for appearing in the ceiling tile water damage!
Mark Twain. Check it! ;-)
