-'''Bokkus''' is a character created by [[Pat Wilson]] and drawn on the bass drumhead of the drum set that appeared in the garage photo on the inside of the ''[[Blue Album]]''.In 1992-1993 the band had a Marvel Comics try-out book, where you finish the comic book.  Instead of doing it correctly, they went off the rails and abandoned the Spider-Man plot all-together in favor of their own story called Space Violators.  The very first appearance of Bokkus depicts him as a crazed alien who comes to Middle America to create havoc and "chase the farmer's daughter."
+'''Weezer's Christmas CD''' is a special 2-track EP of original Christmas songs. Not to be confused with the 2008-released Christmas with Weezer - EP, The Christmas CD was recorded in 2000 just before the band headed into the studio to record The Green Album.
-Pat originally drew the "Bokkus" character on the backside of a drum head while recording the Blue Album at Electric Lady Studios, where it hung on the studio wall as decoration. Later, when he decided to use the head, he traced Bokkus onto the outside of the head, only to discover that the hole cut to accommodate microphones is right where Bokkus' pipe was, so the pipe is squashed below the hole. This led to people thinking Bokkus is blowing a big bubble out of his pipe.
+The CD was sent to radio stations and original Weezer fanclub members only as a seasonal surprise and later were posted as MP3s in the A/V section of weezer.com. In 2005, the tracks were released through the iTunes music store under the title Winter Weezerland with new album cover art. The album art for Winter Weezerland is actually the original back cover of the Christmas CD. It features Rivers in a Santa suit standing on the roof of his home circa 2000.
+Most recently it has been added for streaming on Spotify.
