I love this! I don’t know if he’s Winterfell’s version of a department store Santa or an elf-herd resting his weary bones. Is that a candy cane in your hand Lord Stark or are you just happy to see me? (Actually, poor ole Ned Stark isn’t happy to see anyone any more) In any case, that’s Sean Bean as Ned Stark from HBO’s Game of Thrones in the iconic image of Ned and the Iron Throne…with a Santa hat and a giant candy cane instead of a sword. Notice the wreath stuck through a few sword points at the top.

This brilliant poster is a fan-made holiday homage to the series (Courtesy of Geek of the Day by way of HeyUGuys). Not only is Winter coming to Westeros, so is Christmas! (I hope Cersei and Jaime Lannister and their spawn Joffrey Baratheon all  get giant lumps of coal in their stockings!)

Game of Thrones returns to HBO for Season 2 in April! I can’t wait! In the meantime, The Ghost of Stark Christmases Past wishes you tidings of great joy! Pa-rum-pa-pa-pum!
