Holiday Traditions

[Giles]

That's not surplus, it's forward planning…...I have a lot of tackle ready for the time I try something I've not got round to trying yet.....

[vaquero357]

…@mclaincausey lookin' to get a little 'baby burp up' on all the UHF shoulders huh? 

...everyone's tree's looking very classy!

@goosehd:

concerning relatives…Every few years it would seem like we were celebrating Festivus and the "Airing of Grievances" instead of Christmas.

I got a lotta problems with you people…

[goosehd]

@steelworker I may have exaggerated a little, and it’s not that bad…

Have you watched National Lampoon’s Christmas with Chevy Chase?  I feel like Clark most of the time during the holidays.  Trying to make everyone happy, things not quite working out how I thought it would, but at the end of it all it really wasn’t that bad.

…and thankfully the police don’t show up at the end and the sewer doesn’t explode.

Here are the two Krampus ornaments and tree topper.

And here are a few other fun ones

And the whole tree

[goosehd]

Very cool!  I had never heard the story of Krampus until 10 years ago.  Is it something you grew up with?

[Sage954]

We have cut our tree down every year. First time I didn’t have to saw.
Love seeing all the Holiday posts.

Christmas time for us twins.

Got this one in Berlin.

@Oaktavia I really like the flying octopus thing. I might be missing a cultural reference, but I wonder if the characters on the 666 and 888 SBG patches got together when nobody was looking 

[Oaktavia]

@goosehd it is something I grew into

@ARNC It is a lil Lovecraftian character Cthulhu

[ARNC]

Thanks.

@Oaktavia i am legitimately jealous of your Satanic/Ravens tree.  I have plenty of Ravens ornaments but I’m a believer that ornaments should be gifts from others and no matter how many hints I put out no one will give me any dark arts Xmas fare.  You might be the only one who gets me and our Baltimore bromance was never meant to be. 

[Matt]

Since we didn’t take a lot of decor on our travels we had to start over this year.  Katie made everything Martha Stewart style…

@Oaktavia:

@ARNC It is a lil Lovecraftian character Cthulhu

Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn

("In his house at R'lyeh, dead Cthulhu waits dreaming," for you illiterates.)

[Matt]

All I want for Xmas is Cthulhu.

[goosehd]

I love everyone's take on the holidays and all of these pictures.  Thank you guys!!

[Oaktavia]

haha @Matt you crack me up man truzz

[neph93]

Iä! Iä! Cthulhu, fhtagn!

«That is not dead which can eternal lie,
And with strange aeons even death may die»

And as @mclaincausey memorably put it: We’re a cult, not a sect [emoji1]

[goosehd]

…that entire transaction still brings a smile to my face! 

[Oaktavia]

Same here … love it
