Yu-Gi-Oh!: Cards Referring to Christmas
12/24/22 0 comments
In this article, I present to you the Yu-Gi-Oh! cards related to Christmas and their inspirations.
By Marcos Sobral
translated by Romeu
revised by Joey Sticks
With the arrival of the end of the year festivities, a question came to my mind: are there any Yu-Gi-Oh! cards related to this holiday season? I did a search to get the answer and came to share with you what I found.
Christmas Cards from Yu-Gi-Oh!
Santa Claws
Santa Claws is nothing more than a corrupted "Santa Claus". In English, the second part of his name is a pun on the word "Claws". Its draw 1 card effect can be understood as a reference to the tradition of Christmas gifts.
In addition, its ATK/1200 and DEF/2500 are a reference to the Christmas date 12/25 and its appearance is inspired by Krampus, a mythological creature that accompanies Saint Nicholas during the Christmas season, according to legends from various regions of the world.
Snowman Eater
Snowman Eater refers to the traditional snowmen that are made in some countries during the Christmas season. And once again it is possible to observe a corrupted Christmas being, this time, there is a monster hidden under the snowman.
Snowman Eater can also be seen on the artwork of 2 more cards in the game: Snowman Creator and Snowman Effect.
Ghostrick Jackfrost
Ghostrick Jackfrost is another a snowman and makes reference to the movie Jack Frost (1998). In the film, the protagonist dies in a car accident and returns to life at Christmas to see his family again, but as a snowman.
Trickstar Corobane
Trickstar Corobane is inspired by Helleborus Niger, also called "Christmas Rose". Furthermore, his appearance references Santa's helpers.
Performapal Kuribohble
Performapal Kuribohble doesn't have very deep connections with the festive date, but it can be noticed that he is using props that give him a very Christmas look.
Windwitch - Snow Bell
Windwitch - Snow Bell has an appearance inspired by the decorations that are placed on the Christmas tree, and its name also refers to the Christmas period.
Linkerbell
Linkerbell represents the star that is placed on top of Christmas trees and also has a bell, which is another symbol of this festive date.
Ghost Beef
According to the card's description, Ghost Beef is "The Ghost of Christmas Dinner". Also, its name is a pun for "Roast beef".
Mild Turkey
Moving on to the haunted Christmas foods, Mild Turkey represents a Christmas Turkey that has come to life, or nearly so.
In Gift Exchange we can see the children of a family of goblins opening their Christmas presents. Most of them are happy, except for the one who received a T-shirt as a gift instead of toys.
Continuing with the idea of Christmas gifts, there are other cards that can also be related to them: Space Gift, Gift Card and Present Card.
Oh Tokenbaum!
As the goblin children open presents, Oh Tokenbaum! shows us the adults feasting on Christmas dinner.
That's all for today, do you know any other Christmas-related cards? If so, let us know here in the comments. For more information about the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG keep following our articles, Cards Realm appreciates your collaboration! A Merry Christmas to all of you!

"The two great risks are risking too much but also risking too little. That's for each person to decide. For me, not risking anything is worse than death. By far." - Jimmy Chin
Jimmy is a pro climber, skier, photographer and Oscar winning Film director. The theme of this episode is about following your heart and taking risks. Committing to a path and working it out along the way.
Jimmy picked up the Academy Award for the incredible Free Solo. His latest film is called The Rescue, and focusses on the rescue of twelve Thai boys from a flooded underground cave.


I love when the Spring bulbs open and bloom, warm sun showing off their new colors. Sharing this inspiring article written by my very talented friend, Teresa.
And don't forget to notice those wonderful flowers beginning to open today. And count your blessings.
Love the bold colors in this piece. Our grass is getting green again but still no buds or flowers. Has to be soon though; we've hit 70+ two days in a row.
I am so ready for the Spring, ready for warmth and color and flowers, just can not wait!

Economy: F_9
Declining unemployment masks rise in underemployment
The unemployment rate was 4.4% in March, a 1.3% drop relative to the 5.7% registered in March 2016, according to INEC, the national statistics institute.
INEC emphasised that Ecuador has one of the lowest unemployment rates in the region and attributed the latest figure to economic recovery (real GDP turned positive in the final three quarters of 2016, in seasonally adjusted sequential terms). However, the headline unemployment figure continues to mask a steady deterioration in the labour market since the economic downturn began in 2014. INEC appears to conflate a higher employment rate with a better labour market, when in fact the overall employment rate actually masks the growing problem of underemployment.
According to INEC data, the rate of "adequate" (or full-time) employment was just 38.5% in March, the lowest rate registered since Rafael Correa took office in 2007. Women are particularly affected, with just 29.5% of the female economically active population in adequate employment in March, compared with 45.3% of men. The rate of underemployment, which is defined as employment of less than 40 hours a week or pay that is less than the minimum wage, was 21.4%, the highest recorded since 2007.
Although there were 90,000 fewer people officially unemployed in March 2017 than in March 2016, the economy failed to create any "adequate" employment whatsoever in that period. The newly employed may have taken up part-time and underpaid jobs out of necessity, or even unpaid work (such as work experience sought by young graduates). Part-time, cash-in-hand positions are rising, with half of the underemployed not receiving a formal salary.
The rate of adequate employment fell in four of the country's five main cities (the capital, Quito, as well as Guayaquil, Machala and Ambato), while underemployment rose in all five (the previous four, plus Cuenca). The unemployment rate in the capital remained at a ten-year high of 9.1%, a level unchanged since end-2016. In part, this reflects public-sector layoffs in government ministries and agencies. The president-elect, Lenín Moreno, has pledged to create 250,000 jobs a year, but with limited resources the new government will rely on the private sector for this stimulus. However, we do not expect a marked improvement in private investment in the medium term.
Based on the latest data, we maintain our forecast that rising underemployment and weak private consumption growth will compound Ecuador's economic difficulties, resulting in a contraction in real GDP in 2017.

Encounters with New England's Most Imperiled Wildlife – Todd McLeish
Posted January 31st, 2016
Natural history author Todd McLeish will introduce the remarkable lives of the rarest and most endangered wildlife in New England, from birds and beetles to whales and plants. He will take his audience along on an entertaining first-person journey as he tracks basking sharks, collects biopsy samples from humpback whales, investigates the nesting burrows of elusive seabirds, and observes the metamorphosis of rare dragonflies. His talk is based on two of his books, which will be available for purchase and signing following his presentation.
SKLT is excited to have Todd present for us again – his talks are always really interesting and fun! The program will happen on Thursday February 18th, with dessert/fruit/cheese potluck at 6:30pm and program beginning at 7pm. $5 donation requested.
A Passion for the Natural World: Rhode Island-based writer Todd McLeish has been writing about wildlife and environmental issues for more than 20 years. While earning degrees in communications at Ithaca College and Emerson College, he developed a passion for wildlife, natural history and environmental protection. Rather than pursue a biology degree, he immersed himself in the natural world by volunteering to help biologists with their wildlife research and write about these experiences.
In more than 100 magazine and newspaper articles, he has examined the return of wild fishers to southern New England, the impact of gulls on offshore islands, and an effort to census dragonflies in Rhode Island. He has written dozens of essays about backyard wildlife, profiled biologists and wildlife artists, and highlighted numerous threatened species, from piping plovers and ruffed grouse to northern blazing star and American burying beetle. Todd also works as a science writer and publicist for the University of Rhode Island. Narwhals: Artic Whales in a Melting World is Todd's third natural history book.
Todd is an expert birder, a popular leader of natural history walks, an in-demand public speaker about endangered species, and a former world joggling champion (juggling while jogging).

Girls Has Been a Gift—a Gift with Baggage, but a Gift Nonetheless
by Jessica Fu
People who love Girls aren't just viewers of the show, we're often also cultural brokers and part-time Lena Dunham apologists. It's a small price to pay for a show that elicits a pathos for women so directly and so honestly.
The strength of Girls has little to do with its mirroring of any person's specific experiences and very much to do with recognizing the modern circumstances and obstacles that can bring them about.
I, for one, have fawned over the show since watching main character Hannah Horvath's first terrible on-screen sexual encounter through to her closing lines of last season: "I'm Hannah forever, no matter what I do." And not because I "identify" or "relate," but because the show begets empathy—and over the years, in part thanks to these girls' stories, I've developed it correspondingly.
That Girls doesn't make false promises about the reliability of friendship or the promise of intimacy or the brightness of women's futures is what makes it a gift.
A gift with some baggage, however.
Approximately five minutes after the show became acclaimed, it was hit with criticism for lacking racial inclusion. While Dunham may not have erred much more than any other TV show creator, no one apologizes as empathetically as she does. By later adding characters of color and addressing cultural differences, Dunham has broadened and deepened the show over time.
To deny yourself Girls—to automatically throw it into the cultural silo that is Women Who Have Made Some Mistakes And Who Are Therefore Now Unforgivable—is to deny yourself sensitive, funny storytelling at the most and great sartorial suggestions at the least.
I don't have precise plot-related expectations for the upcoming season. But in general, here's what I do want: relations among the girls to heal, the ongoing and messy romances of Marnie and Jessa to just end, and some kind of catharsis for Hannah's authorial frustration.
