Merry Christmas to All...

Post by MorpheusPA » December 24th, 2020, 8:21 pm

...and to All a Good Night!

Or whatever holiday you celebrate. And a Happy New Year.

I already celebrated Cephalopodmas as well, of course.

If you have time tonight, celebrate with "What Happens When You Write a Letter to Satan Instead of Santa." It's the only "Comedy-Horror" story to feature an 8-foot demon named Teddy.

The REAL Story

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that Tenacity soon would be there;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds;
While visions of Dad mowing danced in their heads;
Mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just Urea'd the turf for a long winter's nap,
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow,
Gave a lustre of midday to "Blueberry" below,
When what to my furious eyes did appear,
But compacted soil and eight monster reindeer,
With a little old driver so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment he must be St. Nick.
I threw open the window and called out in my panic,
"Hey, Fat Man, off the lawn or become matter organic!"
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight—
“Merry Christmas to all - you got Mil-or-gan-ite!”

Merry Christmas, All !!!

I like that one better. :-) With our Socially-Distanced Christmas Eve, I've made all my calls and I'm currently sitting here painting a raven named Quoth.

Literally, Quoth the Raven.

Or, I'm bored out of my skull and the dogs are warming my feet.

Merry Christmas. Hopefully COVID-free, although we were certainly extremely careful.

Well, now you're just late to us East Coasters. :-)

Merry Christmas!

My best gift? 56 premium surface canvases. The spare bedroom smells like an art store.

I have an excuse. Provided by an east coaster.

But I'm not allowed to share it yet.

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! We did a zoom call with my siblings for our annual Christmas Eve gift exchange. A little odd, but it was nice to be able to have nieces and nephews join from far-flung locations.
