Every year, Beneath The Tangles puts 12 posts leading up to Christmas called “12 Days of Christmas Anime”. It doesn’t have to based on anime, so I try to add some videogame flavor and went with Kingdom Hearts 2 in Christmastown. 

Hope you enjoy the post and are encouraged during this holiday season. God bless, Merry Christmas and have a happy New Year!


Merry Christmas! This wonderful season of joy is upon us again, and even though where I live there is no snow or even winter, it’s still my favorite time of the year.

The town contains the home of Santa Claus, who Jack calls “Sandy Claws.” He looks just like the fabled figure, and he’s not happy to see Jack since he caused some mischief the last time they met. There are some rumblings happening in the town, so Sora and the gang go to investigate.
