It's that time again, come get in the thread for some Christmas cheer!
Deck the halls.
Grab some cocoa.
Get comfy.
Enjoy storytimes,
contests, and trivia.
Post your wishlist.
Gift another /co/mrade.
Enjoy the best time of the year.
List of ungifted wishlists and instructions: http://pastebin.com/2R25RyGY
So share your list, join in some holiday story times and above all else be Merry.
Please only post your list once per thread, no begging, and keep it friendly.
Previous thread >>77771445
Feel free to share any great deals that would make for great stocking stuffers on your fellow /co/mrade's Amazon wishlist!
Reposting the first Christmas contest:
For those of you who weren't here the last couple of years, I did various Christmas contests and would gift someone who I arbitrarily chose as the winner. I intend to keep that tradition alive this year.
I decided to get started with a (relatively) big challenge: Write a Christmas story featuring /co/ characters. Maybe Lex Luthor decides he hates Santa because he challenges human superiority. Maybe the Flash has to sub in for Santa one night and deliver presents around the world (has that been done? That must have been done before). It doesn't have to be long, just something short and simple, but the more Christmas special-y the better. If you're a drawfag and want to draw it out instead, that's fine too.
Send your submissions to [email protected]. Or you can post them in the thread, but just make sure I see them. I'll give everyone a week to put something together, so don't feel rushed. At the end I'll share them with the thread and crown a winner. Make sure to include your wishlist with your submission.
Also maybe we should try to better pace the storytimes this thread. I don't know if there's a good way to do that.
Soooo is this even safe?
Like, will you all be able to see my email/home address?
>>77801497
I'm going to write one as soon as I finish on all my procrastinated homework!
>>77801557
It should be safe, I mean Amazon is probably pretty secure. Anons will probably only be able to see your wishlist.

Merry fucking christmas all.
I'm sitting in the dark, wrapped in a blanket, eating honey roasted nuts while there's a storm going on outside.
Pretty damn comfy, I think I have the christmas spirit already.
My list:

It's a comfy feeling
How do we know which lists on the lists have already been gifted too so we can gift to a different list?
>>77802077
Elusive's in charge of the list checking,he's checking them twice too.They're removed from the ungifted list and moved to the pastebin list that contains all of the codes posted this year.
>>77802077
If you go to the list, there will be a filter option on the top right and that will show you when the last time someone had something purchased off the list was. Assumedly, if people keep their lists separate, it will be obvious by that point
>>77802176
A lot of people, myself included, use their wishlists for their own sake and don't just make a new one for the thread.
I bought Splatoon off my own a day ago, black friday discount and all that.
22F7P31ZHSC0V
So since we were talking about various comics and digital comics people were buying in the last thread...
Does it seem odd Amazon doesn't have Comixology gift cards/codes to sell?
I mean, Comixology has gift cards, they are owned by Amazon... but you can't buy gift cards from Amazon.
Seems a bit weird.
damn, the wishlist links don't work on my Iphone browser. Guess I'll have to wait until I get my computer back to start gifting anons stuff.
I find I read far more comics when I do it digitally.
Accidentally posted the prior before adding that to the end.
I actually rather like the guided view also.
When I buy physical now it's basically "I want this to shit on my shelf."
That is certainly a fantastic typo I made.
>>77802396
That's how I am too. But I also find it's easier for me to get someone into comics by handing them a physical book rather than a thumb drive with digital copies of comics.
>>77802479
I don't disagree.
But when I'm talking to a friend online, them being able to track down a copy quickly, be it legal or bootleg, can be key into getting them interested.
If I tell them about something amazing and they have to track it down, they maybe never will.
>>77802396
I'm mostly the same. I tend to read digital and then buy the trades of what I like for shelf porn, but there are a few I take a chance on with buying straight off.
>tfw bought JSA omni 1 on a complete, impulsive, probably dumb whim
>tfw it's a delight
>>77802524
I first read that JSA series through storytime threads on /co/ and I was so fucking happy when they released the omnibus collections.
>>77802524
I know it's become a bit in vogue to claim Johns stuff is a bit of a throwback and a bit stilted, but most of his stuff (especially pre new52) I just enjoy reading it so much. It makes me feel like a kid again.
>>77802077
It's helpful if you post a message to the thread containing the list you just bought a gift for. That way shitty anons can't get away with clearing their "purchased" list.
>>77802621
I'm hoping to get the second and third ones sometime. I'm holding off on reading digitally until then.
Honestly, omnis are kind of crappy because they're unwieldy and I'm always worried about their spines, but damn the oversized pages are great and they look awesome on a shelf.
>pic related, Swamp Thing saved our tree this year.
>WXSJXVAVNZFC
My wishlist this year, find it cool that /co/ introduced me to some many of these this year.
Happy Holidays guys
UK Anon here, I posted in the last thread but fucked up by not including my address in my wishlist. Will be buying stuffs for anons when I get paid next week, Merry Christmas /co/
2SCTP9MW1GXH4 (.co.uk)
>>77802670
Thats an awesome pic! But i wonder would Swamp Thing be against cutting down trees just for Christmas or would he be for it since it clears forest space for new life to grow?
>>77802754
Pines and spruces are very fast growing trees and can be sustainably farmed
>>77802468
I only caught that after you typed that.
>>77802754
Even better, can you imagine how cute Swamp Thing makes Christmases for Abby? Like does he grow the worlds biggest pines and decorate them with luminescent organic bulbs?
>>77802918
Well there is my story idea for the Christmas contest! Thanks guy.
>>77801405

>>77802666
This is why I love digital.
Digital omnibus, however many pages, it can't be bound badly, or fall apart, etc.
>>77802953
Posted before I meant to.
UK anon here. Most of it's vidya merch. If you're gonna get something off here though, make sure it's not the Monkey, Sheffield Wednesday, Steven Universe or Animal Crossing stuff, they're on my Wishlist to keep them stored there as they're presents I'm going to buy family when I get paid! Paid next week so I'll check in and get an anon a gift then.
Let the first purging begin... takes a while opening each and every wishlist but I'm here and grabbing the new lists to add in.
>>77802167
Damn I check it more then twice, I'm not Saint Nick, I mess up too often for that.
>>77794716
That actually happened year before last, then this picture was drawn becaus they got some spock sent to them too.
>>77802396
I think that's the case for a lot of people. My shelves are usually for "unread but dirt cheap", "enjoyed it enough to read it again in the future", or "dick measuring about how amazing my taste is".
>>77803126
Oh god, I remember that.
I love this board.
>>77803031
You might want to add comments to those items indicating that, just to be on the safe side.
>>77803126
Damn works harder the Saint Nick! And gets none of the praise he does fucked up!
>>77803191
You can do that? Sweet.
>>77803191
Done!
>>77803126
Was this the one that also had the Nic Cage mask and the enema?
>>77803126
People should add some adult toys to their lists. I will guarantee at least two people will get their weird fetish sex dolls.
Finally get to post what I was slowly working on all night. It should not have taken me nearly as long as it did, but it did. Like revisiting these older drawings. Been wanting to color this for 2 years.
>>77795265
Added to the list.
>>77801497
I can't write for shit.
>>77802524
>>77802621
>>77802622
I want those omnis but I don't. I really enjoyed the series when I read it a few years back but those are just fuck ton huge books. As much as I hate the Hawkpeople, I do want to read Johns' Hawkman because of his work on Green Lantern and JSA.
>>77803126
Oh, I remember that.
>>77803178
Shelf threads to a t. Why I love 'em.
>>77803237
>>77803297
Or actually, you might want to just make separate lists just to be on the extra safe side.
>>77803423
I love that picture. Glad to see it colored! You always do great stuff.
>>77803422
But anon, this is the same list I send my parents.
>>77803417
You mean this?
I saved this after I gifted the guy a thing way back, that was like at least two years ago, it's still confusing to me.
>>77803470
The comments are there, I have faith the anons in this thread will read 'em.
>>77803496
Maybe they'll get it for you then if Anon doesn't.
>>77803470
Thanks man. Hope to be doing more again this season. Dinner and Walking Dead first, though.
I hate this new turkey captcha.
>>77803555
Oh god, I found my old screencap of it. Still funny that I didn't even see the bowel probe.
>>77803624
I love the turkey captcha. Tired of looking at blurry street signs.
>>77802524
>Tfw got JSA omni vol 1 for Christmas last year
>Tfw it's fucking huge and I'm too intimidated to sit down and read it
What's wrong with me?
>>77803702
>>77803624
That reminds me my Pass is set to expire. Did they not do a sale this year?
>>77803738
Read it, anon. Books are meant to be enjoyed. The shelf porn is secondary.
Purge #1 done, I got to cut 8 lists out of the ungifted pastebin.
>>77803702
>>77803624
Gaah, I'm sick of both, and when you post enough you have to start getting multiple correct entries.
I tried to go back to the V.01 with the text but it was messed up and said I mistyped every entry.
>>77803738
It could be worse. I have the first two omnis on my shelf and I haven't read them yet because I'm too scared I'll damage them somehow. Same with using my nicer art pencils.
>>77803785
8 lists not bad for only being the third thread so far!
>>77803836
Very true, only the third day as well.
>>77801497
How many times am I allowed to have Luke Cage say, "Sweet Christmas!" before my entry is disqualified?
>>77803496
Hey, man. Do you want that twelve inch dildo or not?
Treated myself to some Christmas cheer for being the best me I can be, so I figure I'll also pay it forward to an anon.
2FADPV5Y1R327's list doesn't seem to have the address sharing enabled. So P1468SBM9B3V is going to receive a gift instead! It should arrive on December 1.
>>77803898
As many times as you want, anon.I don't really know much about Luke Cage.

I giggled so hard every time he said it in the show.
Here you go folks, have some Christmas music for the thread

That's sweet anon, I'll see if I can find it for storytiming.
I done a couple gifts. I'll do a couple more. UK Lists come forth.
And here's mine!

>>77803788
I have a set of Prismacolor pencils and I never use them because I just suck with them. Got them because a friend had them. I prefer cheap watercolor paints. As for unread omnis, that's just because I haven't gotten to them yet. I sometimes regret my unread pile these days. And other days I feel pride in it.
I got issues.
>>77804821
My thoughts on unread books is whenever i want to read something it will be there. So i never feel to bad about not having read everything on my shelf.
>>77803971
Merry Christmas UK anon I've just finished the download, after unpacking the cbr the actual Christmas story itself is only 10 pages, is that right? Let's have a nostalgic Christmas storytime with Transformers UK #041 [Christmas Breaker!].
>>77804908
I wish they were at least on a shelf, but I ran out of space some time ago. Same with my movies.

>>77805044
I needed a new bookshelf for years. When I got a new job and moved this past year, pretty much the first thing I did was get new bookshelves. It's nice having a dedicated space my comics, though it's been taunting me with the space on it that's still free.

Good morning and a Merry start to the Christmas season /co/

Now if i could find a better way to store my floppies than just long boxes. I kinda want to get them binded in a custom hardcover book. But not sure about that.

Merry Xmas /co/
>>77805303
My issues is that I have several shelves already, but they all full. I got one small shelf in my bedroom I could possibly use for most of the books or half my unwatched films, but then I'd have place for all my art supplies crammed into it. And no place in the living room to put them.
>>77805322
Gotta get my Christmas movie list prepared, thanks for reminding me.
>>77805375
Been thinking of doing that with my 90s Ghost Rider comics. But it seems like a daunting task with all the tie ins and crossovers and guest appearances of his from then. Probably need at least 5 volumes for them all.
>>77805485
Buy more bookshelves.
I'm a librarian, though, so I try to solve most issues by buying more bookshelves.
>>77805485
The floor is just one really big shelf... and stairs are shelves at an angle.
>>77805375
I had the same problem myself earlier this year, decided to build my own Aquaman themed sunken chest longbox. Pretty proud of it.
>>77805545
Not a bad idea. Im sure i could find a cheap chest or somethng on Craigslist or garage sales.
>>77805256
Cheesy as fuck, but that's what makes Chrimbo Chrimbo.
>>77805169
Oooh shit now there's double.
>>77805513
Not who you were replying to, but I need to move somewhere more permanent than student housing before I can buy more bookshelves. They are such a bitch to transport...
>>77805834
I know what you mean. I knew my last job wasn't going to be permanent, so I kept holding off on buying shelves and had books piling up on tables.
I don't think this job is going to be super long-term either, but I took the plunge anyway on some bookshelves. My next move will not be pleasant.
>>77805935
Could be worse. I had to move a piano with my shit this summer.
Every place I go just accumulates more and more stuff. I sweat a third of what I unboxed was just things for my kitchen.
>>77805513
Ikea stopped carrying the black matte Billy bookcase. my life is over.
>>77805375
I use what's known as pullout boxes, they should be fairly easy to dress up or customize
>>77805935
When I move out of this flat, wherever I end up, I'm buying a nice big bookcase.
Short storytime.

Johns Hawkman is really enjoyable and he manages to finesse all the ridiculous threads of the Hawksnarl into a remarkably coherent whole.
Also lots of shirtlessness and hitting things.
>>77806247
>>77805322
groovy, thanks for the heads up anons, I've verifyed and now we're up to 11 people that have been gifted.
>>77806328
Noice. Although it makes sense why they changed, who the fuck would get half-naked into their secret identity IN THE MIDDLE OF A CROWEDED ROOM.
>>77806147
Part of going digital was I just didn't have the space for this anymore, and if I wanted to read an issue, sometimes it felt like a hassle unless I was going to read a lot.
>>77806377
Sweetness. 2 of those gifts have come out of my account. Probably got another 3 or 4 in me in next week or so, then another 4 or 5 right before Xmas as last minute gifts.
Merry fucking Christmas /co/
Big love to all of you
>>77803423
>>77806363
So it begins, the annual /co/ Christmas boner for Hawkman.
>>77806104
The KALLAX might be worth considering for you and it comes in several sizes, I've got the small black square one which gets the job done for me.
>>77806456
That bums me out, I really like having physical stuff. I'm sorry you don't have as much space. after being gainfully employed I'm looking to move to a bigger house. mostly to store more things.
As for the hassle, I really enjoy pulling out a whole stack of bagged and boarded comics and setting them down ready to read.
A single comic I could understand though, that would be a pain.
>>77806377
Wow, that's incredible, so many so fast.
Here's my hat into the ring. always open to suggestions for stuff to put on the list too.
>>77806378
Given the lack of bra strap on the 4th panel it's a safe assumption that Babs got more than half naked.
>>77806524
And then I don't actually link my list, good for me.

...okay, at least I do
>>77806468
>annual
Buddy it's a year-round celebration.
>>77806469
I might be in the minority but those shelves just seem so generic whenever I see them. At least real wooden shelves have the paneling/texture/etc to them, IKEA products are just cheap fibreboard.
>>77805513
If I had the room I would. Trust me, I would.
>>77805544
I use a dresser for them all. It's sad. I have no stairs unless I keep them in the hallway and I don't trust my neighbors.
>>77806063
When I was forced to move 8 years ago we had to downsize half our stuff. As a mild hoarder that was fucking difficult. But we made some decent money with a garage sale that helped with the move. Especially with bookshelves, televisions, etc.
>>77806363
I could do without the shirtlessness but I do like the hitting of things.
>>77806556
You're not wrong, it's just that I find that a lot of the people in these Christmas threads are big Hawkman and JLA fans and lean more to DC than Marvel. Nothing wrong with that, of course, just an observation.
>>77806377
P1468SBM9B3V can be removed too. I gifted him upthread.
>>77806592
Yeah, they are, but cheap is the key word there. real wood bookshelves are freakin expensive man.
thinking of picking up the avengers omnibus vol 2
but still not sure because there are some other books that are tempting me… my budget is 50 bucks btw
any thoughts?
>>77806622
It seems sometimes like /co/ in general leans more to DC stuff. Dunno why.
(I do know a lot of JSA storytime people chill out here and we fucking love Hawkman)
>>77806524
If my employment situation changes, then I may revisit that situation.
It got bad enough that at times there were just things 'stacked' places just to have places to put them.
When gifting what are your criteria for choosing which list you want to purchase for? I cant figure out which to choose from and who seem more deserving or what not.

These little Peanuts hardcovers make for neat stocking stuffersfor those fan of Peanuts of course, I already own "Waiting for the Great Pumpkin" and it's of a nice quality for something fairly small in size.
>>77806639
I actually fixed up some cheapass bookshelves I got from Wal-Mart just by getting some cheap pineboard cut to size for the backing, sanded and stained it before nailing it in place, instead of the cheap cardboard they had before. Makes them a hell of a lot sturdier.
>>77806554
ha, adding you in the lists I remember you, how was the kingdom come from last year?
>>77806639
And a bitch to move around. At least where I am they are.
>>77806691
I pick a fellow UK lister, and look at their list. If they've got something on there that I know I've enjoyed before, that isn't out-of-range expensive? That Anon has hit the sweet spot and is getting a gift.
>>77806691
I just pick lists and random and gift shit that I enjoyed and think other people will as well
>>77806673
Yeah...I...I have that same situation right now. We were going to buy another bookshelf but, like I said in an earlier unrelated post they stopped carrying the color we already have two of.
We recently painted our entire living room and adjoining room, and I moved stuff around and found myself without a place for all my blu-rays and some bigger DVD boxes. They're currently all piled on top of those pull out boxes in my picture, and some loose comics / heavy metal mags on top of the long boxes, .... and weekly comics littering the living room right now until we buy some more sleeves/bags for them... yeah ok I might have a problem.
>>77805382
>>77806723
I can't see that other UK anon on the list, and I can't afford to give them tonight. Are they on that list and I've missed them, or not cause they got gifted already?
>>77806706
I got my parents this last year: http://amzn.com/0062272144
It's all about the making of the Peanuts Christmas special. It's my parents' absolute favorite Christmas show, and they really loved the book.
>>77806691
I kinda cheat and see everyone's lists, but like >>77806750
said I'll see something in a person's list that I really liked I'll put it in the basket for them.
>>77806833
I haven't fully updated the pastebin since 2:55 PM PST I was just going through doing a a purge and then I'll have it updated again.
>>77806691
You can pick basically however you like. I have my ongoing contests where I'll gift the winner, but then I also just browse the lists and find people who have cool stuff that I think would be fun to gift.
>>77806723
Amazing of course! Alex Ross is always pretty.
>>77806721
That's pretty pro. I don't have a workspace where I can do those kinds of things though.
>>77806729
yeah the cheap particle board stuff is never good to move around, I have a couple of those "media cabinets" that I'm always terrified of moving around, afraid they're just gonna shatter apart.

Had to work shit hours this week, but on the plus side that means more money I have to spare for future threads after my next paycheck.
Also requesting superior lube if anyone still has that saved.
>>77806673
>just things 'stacked' places just to have places to put them.
Same situation. I cannibalized draws and shoved all my novels in them. I got other draws with cds in them (I gotta get rid of those).
>>77806765
I get that all too well. Got random shit everywhere because I've nowhere else to keep it.
>>77806912
>That's pretty pro. I don't have a workspace where I can do those kinds of things though.
You can get it cut to size at the home improvement stores you pick it up from, then it's extremely easy to stain it and nail it in yourself without special equipment.
>>77806874
Ah, sweet, I won't gift anymore tonight then, give you a chance to update it all! Cheers for being the awesome guy who maintains that thing - it would melt my brain.
>>77807008
it's updated, I just need to add >>77806923

You'd be shocked how freeing it feels to just go 'click' and read any comic you own, and have space on shelves to show stuff 'off'' again rather than just have gobs of STUFF packed in.
One thing I like, if I see something neat, I can show it to someone almost instantly. Take an on screen snapshot of my phone and BAM. Instant screencap for people.
I used to read on a decent sized tablet with a nice high resolution screen, but unfortunately it died.
Luckily I have a high resolution phone, so if I read in bed without my glasses it actually looks quite nice.
Image is a screencap of a comic from my phone, just with black bars on top and bottom cropped out. Looks quite nice on the screen, even if it is a touch to small.
okay guys since it doesn't look like anyone else is storytiing I'm going to story time my second favorite superhero x-mas storymostly because i cannot for the life of me find my first
Here is a very Daredevil X-mas

You're cruel. a mean mean man. I don't know, I have a lot of fun going to the conventions and comic hunting and digging through cheap bins and stuff, it's a part of what makes this hobby so fun for me.
I'm no stranger to digital, my steam library is about 560 games. but I also own about 1000 physical games too. (in the case of some PC's games they may be overlapping numbers)
But comics is a different thing for me. I already have all this infrastructure for it anywhose.
>>77807456
Not bad. I use the 8 inch Kindle Fire for comic reading. It's pretty much the perfect size. The tablet itself isn't great, though, since it can be buggy and freezes a lot. And you're locked into the Amazon ecosystem.

I love that feeling too, the LCS I went to at University inherited some dude's MASSIVE comic collection and put most of it up for sale in batches over a period of several months of wednesdays. Found some really cool shit there like some classic Roy Thomas JSA.
Digital's great, but nothing beats having the physical books in your hands.
>>77807733
>that last panel
Hot damn
>>77807709
I still haven't found a good LCS where I'm at. There's a really nice used bookstore with a decent comic selection, but that's about it. Most of the actual comic stores here are just MTG/models/single issues when I prefer trades.

There's a REALLY good one about an hour's drive from me now that I've moved but they don't sell old back issues like my old one did. I can find a lot of cool shit in terms of indie titles and merchandise, but not if I'm looking for anything more than a couple years old, sadly.

Cooking and buying other people presents.Advent is my favorite part of the liturgical year too. It's like Lent but without all the dreary depression and shame!

I actually agree with you guys. I changed my methods because I realized stuff just wasn't being read more than once, not because I didn't want to, but because it just became unwieldy.
Now shelves are for the odd off figure, really nice collection, etc.
It also means I was able to take down a number of bookcases, which just opened things up.
>>77808145
I found a few stores adapting this kindof policy, I think I found one store that specifically said 2004 was their cutoff date or something like that.
>>77808195
Advent has great music, too, Christmas music is way better than Easter
>>77808471
Most traditional Easter hymns are of the "take an existing plainsong and slap different lyrics over top of it" kind, I've found.
>>77808310
Anyone make these before?
>>77808557
I haven't, but I remember someone commenting in last year's threads said the orange flavor was a little too much. Could probably cut down on some of the zest in the icing to help with that.
>>77808014
I like feeling of the holidays, sure there's the general sights and sounds. Wreaths, trees, and decorations everywhere and Christmas music (but working at Walmart I am getting sick of the same 4 songs that they keep playing) but there's more to it.
>>77808688
Tell them to play some Trans Siberian Orchestra.
>>77808767
It's "Walmart Radio" no one in the store has control over what plays.
>>77808767
>any retail chain store being allowed to pick what music they play
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>77808767
I remember last year the local mall played Trans Siberian Orchestra around Christmas time. Shit was cool, they had a Christmas tree outside and all. I don't know how common that kind of thing is in the States, but I live in Puerto Rico so it seemed pretty cool to me.
>>77808803I was kidding.
>>77802670
Anon, I don't think you have an address linked to your wish list
CAPTCHA: select all the trees
>>77808886
The mall I worked at had a pretty good selection when I worked there. But there's only so many times you can hear Johnny Mathis before you get tired of thr classics too.
>>77808804

>>77808886
That sounds pretty badass.
>>77807456
I read plenty digitally, and almost all my music is the same these days. But nothing beats sorting through the stuff you have, going into a store like the Salvation Army and running across an OOP gem like the theatrical cut of The Warriors on dvd or something I'd never give the time day were it not 2 bucks like My Most Secret Desire by Julie Doucet.
>>77807634
>I probably will never find that sweater in my size.
Fuck.
>>77807709
On Friday I hit up a shop and riffled through their discount trades and hardcovers boxes. As usual, not much changed since 4 months ago, but the few new additions allowed me to pick up George Pratt's Enemy Ace and Django Unchained hardcovers for $5 each. Can't beat that feeling sometimes.
>>77808014
Some much needed time off to spend with friends.

I don't feel like dying of alcohol poisoning this year.
>>77808803
>>77808688
I am not looking forward to my coming Saturdays at job B because of this. They already sprinkled it in yesterday ever third song, and fucking Popeye's was playing the damn Christmas station while I was there. Oy.
>>77808886
Public places in the states usually play pop versions of Christmas music or some of the really well known songs like jingle bell rock.
>>77808909
Well I actually asked about changing it and was told about the situation. Apparently the store didn't have any music until about 2 months ago so everyone that has been there longer is happy to have background noise now.
>>77808987
>jingle bell rock.
>three different Christmas radio stations in town
>all of them decide to play Jingle Bell Rock at the same time
Kill me now
>>77809109
I hate that I lose one of my Classic Rock radio stations to constant Christmas music every year. It's not fair.
>>77808195
I'm not really into the whole church thing anymore, but Advent was always fantastic. The liturgy and music are great.
God Rest Ye Merry, Gentleman will forever be my favorite bit of Christmas music.
Who's up for a Flash Christmas?

I don't have any pictures on me, but wrapping presents at my parents' house was pretty much impossible because of my fatass orange tomcat who likes to eat the ribbons and sit himself on all the wrapping paper and stretch out all the boxes by laying in them.
