We don't know where
Santa surfs, but there's probably a good chance that he
visits some of the sites below. They've been conveniently
categorized as either Santa
Links or
Hi
Tek Links
(they're in no particular order within the categories, tho).
All of these sites were up and running in late December
2002.

interesting interpretation of Christmas mythology in
relation to hallucinogenic mushrooms. The Christmas

all' to make the invisible text appear). It includes a
number of illustrations and blends into the author's
mushroom-centered interpretation of the Judeo-Christian
tradition.
