[java]if(niceGal.getWorldTranslation().subtract(me.getWorldTranslation()).length()<6){
head.lookAt(niceGal.getWorldTranslation().add(new Vector3f(0,0.9f,0));
head.lookAt(niceGal.getWorldTranslation().add(new Vector3f(0,1.4f,0));
head.lookAt(niceGal.getWorldTranslation().add(new Vector3f(0,1.75f,0));

Answer: Because Oct 31 = Dec 25.

Nice witty humor. Relating life lessons learned with programming is very cathartic.
