Now is a good time to stock up on Christmas ornaments for next year.

Christmas wrapping paper rolls, one blue with a polar bear wearing a scarf, another red with a penguin. The polar bear appears to be smiling at the penguin.

This gift wrap paper is a lie! In reality, the heroic polar bear here would eat that invasive penguin — if a penguin somehow managed to swim up to the Arctic Ocean from Antarctica.

An unopened “Polar Beap Present Dash” box which shows Christmas Crackers with polar bear drawings. But strangely, there is a cartoon of a penguin ice skating near the bottom, beside a larger cartoon of a polar bear lifting a golden “1” trophy.

This festive polar bear-themed game came so close to holiday perfection, but ruined it all by including a tiny image of a penguin.

Christmas decorations with polar bears beside penguins

Christmas decorations with polar bears beside penguins? Don’t Graphic Arts programs have a mandatory geography or biology course?

A display of Plushies in a store, with polar bears beside penguins.

Do you know where penguins and polar bears hang out together as plushie friends? No where!

Penguins do not naturally live in the Arctic, and if they did, hungry polar bears would eat them.

Polar bears are Santa’s security.

Screenshot of a game in the 2025 Jacquie Lawson Advent Calendar, including a cartoon penguin beside a cartoon gingerbread, snowman, and reindeer.

I am sadden to deliver the terrible news that penguins have now appeared in this year’s #JacquieLawson Advent Calendar. A polar bear would have made more sense.

Penguins on Christmas decorations.

All these tell-all pre-Christmas interviews with North Pole insiders, but when will the @newyorker.com do a Q&A with me about the threat penguins pose to Santa’s reindeer?

Does Pingu’s family celebrate Christmas in the Antarctic summer, or have they moved to the Arctic?

A store display of small plastic wind-up Christmas toys. On the left is a small Santa toy and on the right is a small penguin toy wearing a winter scarf and a Santa hat.

It’s Black Friday, and the penguin invasion of the North Pole and Christmas is now being openly supported by retailers. So disappointing.

Hand-made Nepali woolen penguin Christmas tree ornaments

Hand-made Nepali woolen penguin Christmas decorations? Have artisans near Everest — the Third Pole — really sided with penguins against Santa? I am sure there was some coercion involved.

A gift wrapped in penguin-themed paper.

If you see a gift under your Yule Tree wrapped in penguin-themed Christmas wrapping paper, throw it out. It’s probably booby-trapped — the real Santa would never wrap a gift like that.

Another cheap tinsel penguin Christmas decoration, beside other cheap tinsel decorations like a Santa hat.

Remember: discount stores selling cheap disposable tinsel holiday decorations are the undefended soft underbelly of the North Pole. But don’t let the #PenguinNorthPoleInvasion succeed! Help the real Santa #KeepChristmasPenguinFree!

I see the penguins continue their long march north from Antarctica, fleeing the summer heat and seeking out the soothing comfort of an Arctic winter at the North Pole.

Festive red fabric decorated with stylized images of Yule trees, deer in scarves, gingerbread men, snowflakes, unilcorns (!), and penguins.

OK, so I might need to start a thread on stopping the #PenguinNorthPoleInvasion before it’s too late. I have already seen far too many penguins on Christmas decorations. Most troubling is seeing penguins working with unicorns!
