New Year Loop

Some parents are awakened by a horrific sound at 5:00 AM. Kid: Happy New Year! Mother: What the... New Year's not until midnight tonight! Kid: Happy New Year, New Zealand time. I'm celebrating at midnight for every time zone, so I'll check back in an hour. Starts walking off. Father (lurching after him): I beg to differ.

I suspect that several of this family's New Year Resolutions are going to be influenced by this little incident.

Spiritual Experience

Some people attend a Christmas Nativity pageant. At the entrance there's a sign that reads "Experience the Nativity in 3D." "It's a childrens' stage play. Isn't it 3D by default?" "Shhh..."

Just let them have this.

A Musical Clatter

On Handel! On Haydn! On Bach and Beethoven! On Mozart! On Mahler! On Schumann and Chopin! To the top of the score at the great concert hall! Now play away! Play away! Play away, all!

It's not Christmas without music, right?

The Christmas Movie Generator

A person draws a piece of paper from a jar. 1: And the next one is... "glove." 2: The Christmas Glove. We can work with that. Watch the Heartfelt Channel's orginal holiday romance movies! "The Christmas Lamp," "The Christmas Odor," Glove, Pill Bottle, Eggplant, Butter Dish, Flashlight, Expiration Date, Crematorium, Glue Stick, Scissors, Straw, Battery, Rave...

How to come up with a lot of ideas for Christmas romance stories in a short amount of time. Not necessarily good ideas, but they're ideas.

Special Containment Unit

Two guys are struggling to hold a door closed. 1: I can't hold it much longer! 2: Just one more minute! A clock switches from 11:59 PM on November 30th to 12:00 AM on December 1st. The doors suddenly burst open, in a festive explosion of Christmas decorations. 2: See? That wasn't so hard.

A spiritual companion to a comic I drew a while back. And a fairly good visualization of what goes on in my head every year.
