A nickname given to anarchocommunist activist, philosopher, and revolutionary Pyotr (Peter) Kropotkin (Russian: Пётр Алексе́евич Кропо́ткин) (1842 – 1921), largely in part due to his appearance: a jolly, balding man with a large, white, bushy beard and glasses. These features combined make Kropotkin look strikingly like Santa Claus. The "bread" part comes from Kropotkin's most popular and distinguished work, "The Conquest of Bread", in which among other things, he criticizes capitalism by outlining core issues including class struggle, poverty and scarcity.

I just got done reading "The Conquest of Bread" by Bread Santa!

A loaf of bread, a jug of wine and thou — hold the bread!

A loaf of bread, a jug of wine and thou — hold the bread! — Lovers who have their priorities exactly right. At a certain point all we have are the memories we create together. You don’t need much else.

“A loaf of bread, a jug of wine and thou — hold the bread!” just means: In this moment all I need is you and maybe a little wine might be nice too. But, if I have “you” I might not even need the wine either.

Husband:

“A loaf of bread, a jug of wine and thou.”

Wife:

A loaf of bread, a jug of wine and thou — hold the bread! And if there’s no wine, all I need in this moment is you.
