Da fuq is Christmas?
Can't picture myself spending over a 1000GBP+ for online storage. I get that it's 10TB for "life" but nope.
I did order a 10TB actual hdd for xmas though lol
That's insane haha, fair play if anyone buys it but that seems crazy to me, you would get 10TB for about 35 years at TH for that price, not lifetime but I suspect 10TB might be funny in 2060.

Pcloud shows 5 TB lifetime storage for 800 eur (!!) to me.

Is this @Ian_Dot_Tech racking some giveaways this Christmas?
Is this @AuroraZero? Next to Santa.
Did you know Santa Claus in Spanish is Papá Noel?
I selected the 2nd tab. But yeah pretty wild that they're treating GBP and EUR the same. That's a like ~15% diff
I thought the original guy was called Saint Nicolas?

True. The origin of the holiday is religious, Christian to be more precise. However, on LES it is not about Christianity per se; it is more about offers, deals and idling, while also spending time with the loved ones.

In my country it's "Grandpa Frost" ("Deda Mraz").

Not arguments, just thoughs:
This depends on what you use it for.
My archive including the music and films I consider worthy saving fits into 1 TB.
That's without stuff I store for family friends and some work crucials.
With that included, it fits under 1.6 TB in total!
This includes website backups and youtube video backups.
That's over 20 years of backups - and apart from the Youtube video storage, its growth is very small.
In my workshop, salvaged used parts and stuff that hasn't been used over the past two years gets thrown out.
Using that algorithm, in theory I should still have stuff piling up, but in practice, it's steady.
Similar goes for the digital stuff, IMO. Some common sense and curration go a long way. Withoug that, even 100 TB can be filled up in no time. Past a certain limit, it's a problem in terms of physical limits along with costs - space and time constraints (unless you are so rich you can take other people's time to do it for you).

Eh, no, the origin of the holiday is religious, but Pegan (Roman winter solstice, also called the Yule tradition, celebrating the birthday of the "Unconquered Sun" Sol Invictus), not Christian. The Christian church tried to make Christianity more appealing to pagans and thus changed the tradition of Winter Solstice to "Christmas".
Even the "12 days of Christmas" is originally the "12 days of Yuletide":

Yep it is another name for him. But at least in my side of the earth, we don't use to call it that way, unless in a very religious environment.
Maybe @chievo calls him San Nicolás in his land.
