You cannot escape the CHRISTMAS.

Well, as of today, Christmas has come and gone. I hope everyone was able to have a good time and chill out somewhat during the holidays. Kyle and I don’t make such a hoopla about Christmas and stuff, so things were thankfully quiet. Somehow, we managed to avoid the Christmas hurbubble for the most part, and even when I had to visit the mall briefly, I was able to get in and out quickly and ride the bus home without traffic problems. Even the post office wasn’t such a nightmare and actually seemed to be a bit more efficient than usual.

For Christmas, Kyle and I exchanged gifts and made our standard “special occasion” meal: baked cornish hens, mashed potatoes, buttered corn and crescent rolls. I got Kyle the Home Movies Anniversary DVD set, and he got me the first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation (spiraling me into hunting for the rest at low low prices). We gave Ginger, our cat, a deluxe cat food tin and a few new mouse toys. In the mood for festive entertainment, we watched Jingle All the Way (a cinematic exercise in holiday sadism). Things went off pretty much without a hitch until Ginger decided to go medieval on our miniature Christmas tree’s ass, but to be honest, she’d been eyeing it for weeks. Merry Christmas, Ginger. Merry Christmas.

For anyone keeping an eye on the links section of this page, you may have seen a link to Kyle’s in-progress webcomic site, SCRAMBLES! Well, lucky viewers, his first comic update will be tomorrow on Saturday and will continue to update every Saturday from then on. So go on, visit his site and enjoy the mad antics of a chupacabra and dogtopus, best pals and mischief makers. I enjoy it, maybe you’ll enjoy it, but either way just go visit it already! Geez!

Well, thanks for checking out my blog! Knowing that people actually look at this site makes my heart grow in a Grinch-like manner. Happy holidays, a nifty new year, and all that rot! Check back on Monday for more art from Festering Romance!
