In 2021, [[CS-NA]] went on a quest across dimensions to try and learn the “Meaning of Christmas” so that he could organise the best possible Christmas party for the Crew. In parallel with this, [[Pythagoras-858]] and [[Juliet-178]] found themselves on an adventure involving Norse deities.

One one occasion, in [[Universe | One one occasion, in [[Parallax Universe|one universe]], at half past one in the morning on the night between [[Christmas Eve]] and [[Christmas Day]], a sleeping [[Professor Awesome (Parallax Universe)|Professor Awesome]] was woken up by [[Jenny Everywhere (Parallax Universe)|Jenny]], who talked him into joining her on the roof. Quickly getting dressed in his day clothes — complete with labcoat and “essential gadgetry” including “both [[robo-spider]]s and the [[stochastic photon homogenizer]]” — he followed her to the said roof, where she explained that she wanted to watch “the flyover”. The Professor slowly realised that she meant “[[Santa Claus (Parallax Universe)|the bringer of presents… the lurker at chimneys… the eater of a billion cookies]]”; Jenny, appearing to treat him as incontrovertibly real, advised Eric not to say the name out loud, though she told him that she had borrowed an “[[Amulet of Unheeding]]” from [[Steven Lucas|Steve]] and [[Thoth (Morning After)|Thoth]] just in case. | ||
Before they could see anything, however, Jenny was hit in the face by a large snowball coming from nowhere in particular, and they were then knocked down by a sudden gust of wind. When they got up again, there were contrails suddenly criss-crossing the sky, as though hundreds of aircrafts — ''or just one, moving extremely fast'' — had passed over the city in the blink of an eye. Melodramatically angry, Jenny started waving a fist in the air and shouting up at the sky: “You just wait! I know [[Jenny Cornelius|who’s]] driving the fat man this year!” — but she got no reply, and Eric calmed her down by calling her attention to the two large, scarlet-wraped presents with their name on them that were suddenly lying on a parapet.
