Hugin and Mugin tell Odin everything he needs to know. There is not a slaughtering or slaying that escapes him.

It’s not the kill that excites Loki, it’s the thrill of the chase. Nah, that’s a lie as well. It’s the kill. Loki really enjoyed throwing that hand grenade into Santa’s reindeer corral.
This is wrong on so many levels, I don’t know where to start.
Loki trading with giants.
Loki trying to rip of giants by selling them cat fur instead of mink.

Truly the world is upside down.
The first war of the universe. It was a big one. God versus god. Magic versus sword.
The Vanir provoked the Aesir and Odin threw the first spear. After several years of violence, both sides realized they were getting nowhere. So they made peace, swapped delegates, and started killing giants instead of their fellow gods. Freyr and Freyja, two of the most important Norse gods, were sent from Vanaheim to live in Asgard.
Freyr and Freyja are different from the Aesir gods. That’s because they are Vanir gods from Vanaheim, a land of powerful magic and spectacular natural beauty, sent to Asgard as part of the truce that concluded Universal God War I.
Vanaheim isn’t described in too much detail on the Eddas, which leaves us to wonder what this mysterious place is like exactly. We can safely assume, however, it has absolutely nothing to do with the Mighty Ducks, the Crystal Cathedral, conservative politics, or the Lion King. Oh, what a difference a “V” can make…
Freyja is jealous of the Christians. Every year at Christmas they give one another box after box filled with glorious treasures… new game consoles, snowmobiles, tiaras, and other treasures from the shopping malls of the earth. Meanwhile, up in Asgard, the gods exchange modest “yule gifts” — playing cards, warm clothes, candles, and other snoozables meant to provide comfort during the long winter. Which means if Freyja wants some new jewelry she has to get it the old fashioned way… by humping dwarves.
Odin has organized a little holiday exchange with giants. Freyja knows the giants are loaded, so she’s looking forward to getting some new gold on her fingers and silver around her neck. Odin, however, said nothing about exchanging presents.
