The first thing I noticed in that family fallout shelter is the lack of a toilet. :-( It doesn't look like two weeks' worth of food and water either. Alex's other comments are all worth noting too. Does this family expect to go grocery shopping when they emerge from the shelter?

At some point I will write about the toilet situation. It's quite interesting and amusing, and it really centers attention on the realities of the "fallout experience" in a way that these kinds of drawings do not.
funny man eh ? HAHA *** Santa has an armored sleigh with spoofing ECM and his reindeer have anti-ABM systems which thankfully have been classified ABove Top Secret. Happy Thanksgiving. Thomas Reese. -- has The Safeguard debate been addressed here ?
That may be true now. But back in the sixties, Santa still used an outdated Block IA sleigh, known more for its aesthetic appeal rather than its intrinsic survivability. Defence systems were reduced to an elf tailgunner (instaled in the 40 against the Luftwaffe┬┤s Grinch program) and a primitive ECM suit (codenamed "Special Delivery" by NATO, official name unknown). The reindeer lacked afterburners, elves were still conscripts and penetration was dependant on close cooperation with other members of the Christmas Alliance like the Three Wise Men ("Reyes Magos" program) operating from forward bases in the Middle East and Europe.
And it would be really nice to discuss Safeguard here, by the way.
SANTA--you must give this writer a blog for Christmas !*** and our beloved Lyndon will give it a classic side eye of approval. --** and the mighty and mighty expensive Safeguard was so awesome and terrifying at once

I bet the toilet was part of a nuclear - powered "Sanitation and Underground Swimming EXERCISE FACILITY ...
"....and the vegetables better be fresh !! "
That chimney venting to the outer atmosphere seems a little sketchy as well,...
how the fuck is Santa supposed to gain access without that sketchy chimney ???
Santa got hit by the ABM. No gifts this year.
In fact, the very possibility of downing Santa was the real reason to terminate Safeguard.
