The days grow colder, the nights grow longer. That means /co/ Christmas cheer is coming to town. Grab some cocoa, turn on the Christmas music, get comfy, and hang out with some /co/mrades as we share stories and get into the holiday spirit.As previous years, share your Amazon wishlist and some random Anon may purchase a holiday gift for you. Be sure to gift another Anon in return so we can spread the cheer far and wide.To get your wishlist code, open your wishlist on Amazon, then copy the 11 digit number from the link. It will look like this: amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/###########We just need the ###########Missing Address: When viewing your list, click the "…" in the upper right hand corner. From there click "Manage List" which will give you a few options including “Shipping Address”. While you’re here please check “Third party shipping agreement”. That will allow anons to buy you stuff that isn’t sold by amazon.Pastebins will be posted once they're up and running, and the stream will be starting later today.
HULK SMASH PUNY HOLIDAYS!Yohoho to everyone once again. Hope the year is going well.
>>146566881Woo! Glad to see ya, Hulk!
Have a one pager story-time!I would gift someone since I received an unexpected Crapazom gift card but I guess that will need to wait a day or two, especially since I really should be sleeping and I'll be AFTK once it's daylight on the Best Coast.But now that I have cleaned it up - my wish list: AAOT775YU102
>>146566787>Missing AddressALSO, if people MOVED and fixed/updated to their new address on the account portion of their Amazon profile - YOU STILL NEED to fix/update on your Wish List or your cheer item will go to your OLD ADDRESS!!! You would think Bezo's engineering minions could patch this easily but apparently not.

Anons what if what i want for christmas isn't something that can be bought, but given?like someone who will pretend to be Jenny Wakeman for me
>>146566787Let this month end first you impatient faggot
>>146567382Isn't it easier to pretend that Jenny is there right now
>>146567389These threads start on Black Friday every year.
>>146566881I love hulk>>146567212>>146567322wholesome.
>>146567394No, I need someone to be herAlso where is therehttps://pastebin.com/Pm6Pzu1Q
we back at itHope Americans had a good Thanksgiving
Sup, /co/. Hope your Friday has been pleasant so far. Normally I'd be boring you all to tears with storytimes of obscure comics, but I have a board games event today that requires a lot of public transport, so I'm gonna be busy.>>146566881Honestly, my 2024 has been alright. Some of you may remember that a friend of mine was hospitalised last December with an extremely rare disease. Well, I'm happy to say that they've made a miraculous recovery, and that's no exaggeration; apparently, nobody has made such a great recovery from this disease. Apparently they're fit enough to ride the motorcycle they bought before they got ill.I've also been making new friends, and reconnected with old ones. I've also been going to places near my home, like the local reservoir, and just appreciating nature. Overall, a fairly chill year.
And so the threads return. Hopefully our American Anons and Namefriends are resting well, digesting turkeys, yams and whatnots.I'm back to posting trivia this year. I might do a storytime once in a while, but they won't be the main thing.So tell me, ever wonder who decides which parts of the Bible priests would read every day? Well, the Big Book at the altar isn't actually the Holy Bible, but rather something called a "Lectionary" (or at least one of its volumes), which contains exactly that. The modern version was first established after the Second Vatican Council in the 70s, and the one used currently is a revised version that came out in 2015.You see, it's all based on a three-year loop, at least for Sundays (workdays have a two-year cycle). And I'll be checking every day, and from multiple years at that, and then focus on whatever I want.The liturgical year also starts on the first Sunday of Advent, so it's perfect. I'm shocked I haven't done this before.I'm also "learning" how to "draw". Maybe by the end of the year I'll be able to do a straight(-ish) line.
>>146568031And when you look into November 29th throughout the years, it turns into a regular Second Coming Jamboree. From the "Ye know not when The Time is" speech from Mark's Gospel, warning the Disciples not to get caught lacking, through two separate readings from the Book of Isaiah promising a world of peace, one about turning your swords into ploughshares, the other about a lamb dwelling with a wolf (totally not the furry way though), and ending up with a Gospel of Luke about seeing the signs that the Kingdom of God is at hand. Which, to be fair, kind of sends mixed signals with that Marky Mark story I've mentioned first.
Does anyone remember when the mods couldn't even let the last thread from last year conclude and just outright deleted it?I hope santa shit in their stockings. Coal is too good for them.Anyways, Christmas time!
>>146568041Yeah, that was fucking weird. They deleted another Cheer thread before that.

GOOD MORNING, SPOOKS AND SNOWSTERSI hope you've all had a lovely Thanksgiving, and I hope you've been well since I last saw many of you at the end of Spooktober. But you can't keep a good skeleton down for long. I'm BACK, and with a lot of help, I'm arranging a new set of Spooky Stream-style Christmas streams for every weekend, and for the days leading up til Christmas itself.Pic related is our current full schedule for the year. Note that December 20th will be a VIEWER SUGGESTION STREAM! This post will remain an anchorpost for anons to suggest Christmas movies, specials and cartoons, that we will choose from for this special stream.I'll see you guys later tonight with a semi-spooky stream, including the much-delayed return of Joe Bog Briggs' MONSTERVISION.F2H67ST7SEVM
Damn, thread's slow this year. I know how to speed things up!>>146567212You have been gifted! Look forward to your goodie tomorrow, if Amazon shipping doesn't blow it.
It's so nice to see you all again. I've been counting down the days ever since I discovered how weirdly late Thanksgiving fell in the month this year. That means our celebration will be a bit shorter than usual, unfortunately.>>146568031Would you happen to know why that is? What process governs the specific dates certain holidays fall on?>>146568041>>146568288It's a shame to see our traditions slighted like that, but it is to be expected. This isn't our /co/ and it hasn't been for quite a few years now. We'll always have Christmas, though. >>146569179You guys have outdone yourselves with this schedule. Every night looks like a Christmas blast. If you're taking suggestions, I strongly recommend the Pee-wee's Playhouse Christmas Special, uploaded officially in high quality right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRvtOGLzpvE
Merry Christmas folks! Glad that Christmas is finally here! Here's my amazon wishlist! What's everyone looking forward to for Christmas this year?
>>146569663Looks like you forgot something there, Goji. I'm looking forward to seeing Sonic 3 and playing Marvel vs. Capcom 2. Today is for decorating the tree.
>>146566787I HATE CHEERhe said to himself, out loud.
>>146569663SHIET MY BAD! Here! 297MIGOM4JLT0And Sonic 3's a movie I'm definitely planning on seeing after the holiday season. Too much going on for me to actually see it the week it comes out.
>>146569761I feel that. Not sure if I'll be able to swing it myself, but I'll try for it. Seeing Nosferatu on Christmas also sounds like fun.Time to dust off the ol' wishlist and have to remove all the comics because they're either no longer available or the prices have risen too much. Ah, of course they only have the second half of this Superman collection.
AND WE'RE BACKIt's been a hell of a year folks. I hope whatever trials you've endured get sorted, that your loved ones are good and that you've accomplished all you wanted to.I return with the 24/h Christmas special stream, packed with (I think) 320gig now of specials, a few animated movies and all running on super stable hardware! I've been testing since November and it's been perfect so any screw-ups are with the site. Not me. Honest.Had a hard day? Want to get in the festive mood? Then hop on the stream and watched everything from Simpsons, Doug, American Dad, South Park, old classics, new stuff, utter dross, if it's Christmas themed, it's in there.And don't forget our annual XMAS MOVIE TIME TO PAIN, where we endured some legendary shockers to ever haunted the world of men. And this year there's a few more stinkers to waste our time with.VAUGH.LIVE/SHEOL_UK>>146569179There he is! Good to see you again pal.>Mog's ChristmasI see you are also an enjoyer of fine things>>146568031King returns.>>146566881Always great to see you again Hulk>>146569699>MvCTop taste anon
>>146569890Mog's Christmas was a fucking bitch to find. Nobody was seeding it for torrents. Had to pull some strings to get a copy downloaded because that kitty needs a spotlight bigger than one really sweet commercial.
Good to see the year is going well thus far.I'm doing well enough. Not getting enough relaxation, but hopefully in the next few days.22F7P31ZHSC0V
>>146570016I actually met Judith Kerr at a publishers party a few years back. I got the chance to tell her that i grew up on Mog books and that at that very moment my kid was being read them by his grandparents. And those books were gifted in one of these very threads years ago. It was a hell of a moment.
>>146567470thank you, he's done them for a decade on now, I need to find this year's version if it's out yet. here's the next one in chronological order>>146568679Yep>>146569179Should be able to make some of these this season, missed much of last season but was there at the start.>>146569890>utter drossDitto! And even excited about it!
>>146570542...here is the one from exactly ten years ago
>>146570098>22F7P31ZHSC0VYou are now gifted once again (I just realized I also got you last year), you should receive the email very quickly for your Kindle X-Men Omnibus although you really would have been better off getting a far superior digest edition in physical like a DC Finest of Doom Patrol - World's Strangest or Metamorpho: The Element Man.>>146569300thank you thank you - will post photo proof if they don't!>>1465705872015's
>>146570657Waiting on the email before redeem.I do still collect physical books, but I have to be very choosy due to space.Those ones would be good choices. It's always hard to decide what to put on a list, as there are so many comics and books.Once the redemption email shows up expect some screencaps. Haven't read those stories in years.
>>146569179For either the suggestion stream or to sprinkle around regular intermissions, found a playlist version of that Christmas carols YTPMV collab.https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGLEvgKH9jQCW0tbBWCm2OgzNv5osseqP&si=PuxfcGb0kCyy9FWt
>>146567322I love the idea that Supergirl doesn't take Killer Croc or a lot of villains seriously. When you're a Kryptonian, most earth villains are as dangerous as a cat to you.
>>146569179Ex-ex-ex- ... pardon me.Where will this be he-he-he ... streamed?
I could use some tree trimming opinions. The string of white lights came out a little short. What do you think of gathering them up near the top with some cotton snow, with a string of colored lights below the upper third or so of the tree? Do you think they'd mix well or should I just get a second string of white lights?
>>146568031>>146568038I love this man. Spreading the Good Word this Christmas. If you want to get better at drawing lines I'd recommend this video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QXTdxw9LPE&ab_channel=Excal%27sArtTipsI've seen improvement after only 10 days, and I've been trying to reteach myself to hold a pencil better. Do remember, you're never going to get the perfect straight line, and you don't want to anyways. The mistakes are the appeal that makes it human, computers are for perfectly straight lines.
>>146571687I personally prefer keeping to a theme so I’d stick with the white. The color idea could be neat but I’d need to see it first.
>>146571996I was thinking the same thing but I'd hate to have to go back out. I probably should though.
aHR0cHM6Ly9tZWdhLm56L2ZvbGRlci90cEVCekRoSiM3WHRCYzJlWDUzSFBvWU5jWXBwTjJnfirst batch is done, welcome back, cheertaking requests, comics, movies, specials, more
>>146572865>every Christmas Carol ever, even the musical where George Costanza plays Jacob Marley and gets an incredible numberVery nice.
>>146571687That sounds nice>>146570829Good deal, enjoy. If you don't get the email soon, let me know, I am phone posting like a casual when I have a few moments >>146571354of course; and this version of supergirl would likely sooner flip killer croc on his back and scratch his tum-tum before stopping by arkham
>>146573234It does sound nice. Someone with a better eye for aesthetics than I proposed it, but I can't help but suspect it would just come across as a mismatch. I think we'll try it out first.
Always nice to see this back. Hope everyone had a good year! Mine was... eventful. In reverse order, new house, new job, finished grad school, new babyGod this might be my 14th or 15th year of these threads. 13GGDG4IWPFO1
>>146573776>so newfag it hurts
>>146572865Many thanks, Anon!
OH SHIT I FORGOT TO POST THE TIME, UH7 EST
>>146573234Nothing so far. Maybe delayed because of all teh orders today?It's been fun seeing all the X-Men animated stuff pop up lately after 97 came out. Cool to see it make a comeback and be so good.
Hi everyone. First time ive been able to get in on thread Number 0Merry Christmas to all

>>146574431
Fuck it, ONE HOUR LEFT til my first stream of the season!
>>146574459
Already that time of year huh?Well I'm excited to finally let out this lingering cheer!Been kind of a weird year, but I'm getting things back in order and ready for the future.Hope everyone has a great Christmas season! SNR4G7L9GLYA
TONIGHT ON A...KINDA...SPOOKY CHRISTMAS STREAMThe day after Thanksgiving, and already we're hyped for the holidays. But such a time of year is usually a transitionary period, so perhaps some stranger choices are a good beginning to this year's streams? Our pre show features the newest Christmas adventure of the Smiling Friends, their latest client being a death-fearing snowman. Next, the Looney Tunes tackle their own adaptation of a Christmas Carol (as directed by the ditzy Lola Bunny, so don't expect a lot of Dickens' writing to have survived).Our first main show bears a striking resemblance to Home Alone, yet was released a year prior. Suspicious. Then again, Home Alone wasn't about a boy who resorts to desperate measures to protect himself and his father from a madman dressed as St. Nick. Hosted by Spooktober legend Joe Bob Briggs, it's DEADLY GAMES, also known as DIAL CODE SANTA CLAUS.Next is another twisted film, albeit one with a far more bittersweet tone. A modern Frankenstein story that crosses over into the Christmas season, in which a gentle, yet imposing looking man-made creature faces the world and all that lies within it, both pleasant and tragic. The tale of EDWARD SCISSORHANDS.For our late show, if any of you are disappointed that we're not doing Die Hard this year, we got the next best thing. Instead of John McClane, however, it's Cleveland Brown in the action. Finally, an installment of Mike Tyson Mysteries where the gang must spread cheer to a old man on his last legs. Surely this won't go wrong.Stream Link: cy(delete this part)tu(DOT)be(slash)r(slash)SkeletalStreamer
>>146575395These streams don't get archived for if you have to miss any of them, do they? I think someone else with a cytube had that option but it could have been a different site.
>>146575494Unfortunately not, because of the means that we use to present the films within cytube. Sorry, anon.
Merry Rizzmas everyonehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l16jwkkRy-A
>>146575515That's okay, I can find most of this stuff in a few clicks. Thanks for the incredible lineup for the month.
Just got back from the board games event, and it was great; there's one couple there who bring their 5-year old son (he gets a bit hyper sometimes, but he's well-behaved and doesn't have shitty tantrums or anything) and I gave his parents a little Christmas present for him. It's just a little plastic King Bowser I picked up for 20p at a car boot sale (that's about a quarter at a swap meet for you Yanks) and his mum was all "You didn't have to do that" but I love the little squirt so I did.Anyway, I managed to play some fun games tonight, including Wok & Roll, a fun dice game all about serving food at a Chinese restaurant. Two of the people I was playing with are Chinese, and it turns out one of them has family that run several Chinese takeaways, including one not too far from the venue that one of the organisers loves to go to fairly often. Kind of a weird coincidence, but it was interesting to hear her talk about how the food is prepared and how her dad has added a bunch of dishes to the menu... including one the organiser LOVES.I should try one of the local Chinese places near where I live.
>>146575791>t's just a little plastic King Bowser I picked up for 20p at a car boot saleSuperb. Can never go wrong with Bowser.
>>14657539520 minutes until our first movie, hosted by Joe Bob.
Almost the Most Wonderful Time of the Year™! Been looking forward to these threads this year. Been a rough one.3QBXCBG3MMNMG .ca
>>146569634>What process governs the specific dates certain holidays fall on?Mostly it's the need to line up the date and the day of the week, for example Advent is "celebrated" (as much as a time of anticipation can *be* celebrated, at least) during the four Sundays before Christmas, so depending on how December falls on the weekly grid, it can start anywhere between November 27th and December 3rd.But most likely if you're thinking about a movable feast it's related to Easter - which, if memory serves, falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon of spring (so measured from the equinox). There's a whole algorithm (called "computus") devised to figure out on what date it will fall on - and all the other movable feasts that are connected, from Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent (and even before that, the holidays specifically held to get people partied out before it starts, like Mardi Gras) up to the Pentecost.
you shitters start before dec 1?
>>146575841It's missing the "fireball" that Bowser is meant to fire out of his mouth, but the kid is into Super Mario so I duobt he'll be too disappointed. Last year, I gave him a piggy bank I got from a Christmas fair held in support of a local charity. I don't even know if he gets any pocket money (what you Yanks call "allowance") I just won it in a weird raffle that apparently only the UK does.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tombola_(game)#United_Kingdom>>146576343The first thread is always on Black Friday. Besides, we're basically in December already.
>>146573744Congrats on the new babe, now you get to special order a hope corgi onesie for next year's Halloween.>>146574328Crapazon Is Doing Crapazon Things and was claiming a problem with the MasterCard gift card I am using, even though they billed and delivered a Hallmark DC ornament and a gift for my /toy/ SS giftee on the 10th that have already been delivered.I had to cancel it because apparently fixing something after an order is made doesn't fix the previous order. Sigh.So you are back to ungifted for a bit, apologies.
>>146576407Oh, so that's why that one Neopets thing was called that.
>>146576642All good, it's the thought that matters.Good suggestions earlier for things I can track down on mine later also.

>>146566787What did you guys buy today, if anything? I got a lego set, a DVD, and a pull-up bar.
Merry Christmas guys and gals, I'm always happy to see these threads up again when it's wintertime! (even though we're still technically in autumn)I'll go ahead and post my list 2RR91R1KQW8DHand then I'll read some of these comics
>>146578028Not much, sales today were shit in local stores. Most I got was some vidya and a black friday exclusive vinyl record.
>>146578028Oh yeah, because it's Black Friday.I don't think the sales were worth much in the last ten years though, were they?
>>146575395Bump, Edward Scissorhands in 20 minutes.
>>146578028Aside from lunch, nothing.I spent nearly 300 dollars on a holy grail figure on Thanksgiving. I'm not really the type to go Black Friday shopping either.
>>146573744Mazel tov!
>>146578028I done fucked up and bought too much because Forbidden Planet had a pretty good sale. So I followed that up with hopefully a sturdy shelving unit.>>146578409It's been getting worse over the years if you're looking for movies. 5 bucks films almost all disappeared
>>146578028I found a $20 copy of Haunt vol 3 and I treated myself. I'd been looking for one that wasn't 50-70 bucks for a few years now so that was a nice surprise. What DVD did you get, anon?
Merry Christmas bros. Glad Thanksgiving is over. It's my least favorite holiday. I'm normally not big on this time of year in general but my nephews have been slowly getting into comic related things it's been fun shopping for that kinda stuff for them.
>>146575395Final bump, 20 minutes until the Cleveland Show and Mike Tyson Mysteries. I'm also probably gonna head to sleep soon, it's been an exhausting couple of days. So, I hope you guys enjoyed, and I hope you look forward to tomorrow's Stocking Stuffers!
>>146568031I love, I love, I love the Calendar Man / Yeah, sweet Calendar Man
>>146579008The animated reconstruction of Evil of the Daleks, though I only got it cause it comes with the telesnap reconstruction as a bonus. Always preferred those, the animation on these is so cheap.

What are some characters that you'd like to see celebrating Christmas?
I can't believe /co/ is still a thing. if it ever gets shut down i'd hate to admit it, but i'd miss this place
>>146580364An AtLA holiday thing could be fun.
>>146580639>AtLAWould that be some kinda winter solstice celebration, or should the potential artist do actual Christmas?Ooo, now that I think about it, making them celebrate Christmas while simultaneously confused like with the Bear situation would be fun.
>>146580908lolThem trying to figure out how a reindeer flies, or what a reindeer is. Just did a quick search and there's no deer there.
>>146580959I mean, there's the saber-tooth moose lion, moose (the species) are also deer (the family), and as a matter of fact, they belong to the same sub-family as reindeer.
>>146581115Ah right, them thingys. I totally overlooked moose as deer. I knew caribou for it but not moose.
>>146577418I love how Batman's not really mad... just tired.>>146579984Sweet>>146579769Right back atcha>>146580429Same. I'm currently storytiming the original Showcase in another thread, and I'm not sure what I'd do if Hiroshimoot ever decided that this site wasn't worth the effort
>>146580429We all would.
November 30th is actually St. Andrew's Day, which I might've mentioned most years (if not every one), since it's such easy trivia. Now, it might not be a big "day off work" type of holiday (except for Scotland, Andy being their patron saint) or even "you HAVE to go to church" day, but it's still special enough that it overrides any other liturgical scheduling.That's because, even though he's not as prominent as, say, Saint Peter or The One Jesus Loved™, he's still one of the OGs - as a matter of fact, he's Peter's older brother.And the yearly reading from the Gospel of Matthew covers the recruitment of the first Apostles by Jesus. There he was, just strolling around the Sea of Galilee (which isn't actually a sea, just a lake, and not even a saltwater one), and when he happened upon some fishermen - Pete and Andy - he said the famous line "come with me and become fishers of men".And then, probably completely ignoring the discussion if they should call themselves Menermen, he went to like the next boat over and recruited James and John as well. I particularly like how the Gospel made sure to emphasize that J&J straight-up ditched their father Zebedee in the middle of the workday.Also I need to point out that even on his special day, Andrew needs to share the spotlight with three other guys. Ain't that just typical.
>>146579984This rocks
>>146580364Captain Marvel and Mary Marvel
>>146581779>(except for Scotland, Andy being their patron saint)Aaaaaand you just put me down a rabbit hole of "where else is this guy a patron saint of?" Turns out, quite a few places - Greece, Cyprus, Romania, Ukraine, Russia, Georgia, Cyprus and for some reason Barbados, not to mention a bunch of cities and municipalities (most of them in the Philippines). He's not even the only patron saint of Scotland that's double-dipping; there's also Columba, who is technically the patron saint of Scotland AND Ireland, but he got pushed aside due to church politics.Still can't touch ol' St George for cross-cultural appeal, of course - that guy is basically the McDonalds of patron saints.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patronages_of_Saint_George
>>146582350>that guy is basically the McDonalds of patron saints.I'm curious where St Francis would land in this metaphor. Burger King maybe?
>>146582374Actually, Francis of Assisi isn't the patron saint of many places; some Filipino municipalities and Italy itself, but that's it. In terms of stuff he's patron of, I guess he's more of an Olive Garden? St Patrick is probably the Burger King in this analogy, maybe.Either way, The Virgin Mary is definitely the Starbucks of patron saints - she's pretty much everywhere, including the Americas, Australia and THE FREAKING MOONhttps://aleteia.org/2018/08/03/yes-the-moon-has-its-own-catholic-bishop

Black Friday is over and I forgot that threads start the same day. How was everyone's year? 25BSVI7RIDZ71 .de>>146578028I bought a new living room table. My old one broke and furniture stores were too expensive on normal days. A monitor I didn't buy because the curve monitors were too expensive on Black Friday.

Never had the heart to bin it.>>146580364Is it bad that I want to see Bill Cypher wearing a Santa hat and looking mildly disgruntled because of it?>>146573744Congrats on the arrival, dude! Mine hit 9 this year and is being exposed to the kids at school saying Santa isn't real. He said "even if Santa isn't real, I believe what he does is real and he makes a lot of people happy so Santa is real to me". Next year I expect he's going to find out the truth but I'm glad he's holding on to the magic.>>146569663Great to see you dudeRandom question to people: what's the Christmas gift that got away that you have still not got? For me it was a Mr Frosty, like a home slushy machine. According to the jingle it was so much fun, it makes drinks for everyone. Alas I have never discovered if that is the case.
Is there a good mega of Christmas specials like the Halloween one?

Nice to see Amazon still either doesn't have it anymore, never had it in the first place, or charges way too much for it if they do have it.
Wow, I've never been in a thread 0 for a cheer thread before! I'm always too nervous to share my amazon list just in case I fucked something up and end up doxing myself kek. Happy holidays, /co/ frens!

>>146584253>>146572865Thanks that's exactly the kind of thing I was looking for
Hello everyone. Back again after a year of chaos, thanks to a new puppy. Unfortunately, I had to downsize my book collection. I started to lean into digital more since she likes eating... everything. My area turned old phone boxes into take a book/leave a book locations so I gave a lot of my stuff away to locals. Means, I can't really put books on my wish list this year since I've used up all my puppy safe book storage. Hopefully, by next year, she won't think Dredd looks like a good target for her reign of destruction.. Any one else reading Digimon liberator? Long forward digital comics are new to me. 13YONJ1L5IJ0G .Co.ukGunpla posting is very Christmasy to me. My first gunpla was a HG Heavy arms from Argos. Hobby craft is now stocking gunpla, so I picked up a chars zaku and an original gundam. Want to do them in some form of diorama but I've derailed into miniature painting for the new Halo tabletop game.

>>146585882Looks like the HG from a couple of years back.
>>146585514Yay for puppy! Get her more chew toys, and maybe try some, what's it, anti-chewing spray stuff they have.
I hope everyone has had a good or somewhat at least serviceable year. I had an alright one but not that good. But I'm good. >>146569179Could I suggest two? A Charlie Brown Christmasand I want a Dog for Christmas, Charlie Brown
>>146585677She's being trained. She's just a trouble maker dog. She'll play chicken with you until she's absolutely sure she can't win.. then challenge you one more time just because she can. She takes after her owner in that regard. But she's slowly getting there and growing into an adult.>>146585962She doesn't care about the sprays. She has lots of toys and now she'll bring a ball to you when she wants to play instead of trying to misbehave for attention. Just one of those dogs that requires a bit more work to train. I'll get there with her soon enough.
Merry Christmas to everyone, may you all have a snowy night with a blanket and hot cocoa.>>146569179Oh fuck I just assumed we'd start on the 1st. Although knowing my mom, Christmas stuff went up right after Thanksgiving dinner, so I guess it's not that weird to start the Christmas season early.Have a music suggestion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4e53dEbECA
>>146586192My cat was(is) a troublemaker, too. Glad your training is working! I'm sure you'll be able to get books again soon -- then you just need to train her to fetch them for you, gently.>>146586116Glad you're good, Anon! I hope next year is much better for you.>>146586244Thank you! Merry Christmas!
>>146586244>may you all have a snowy night with a blanket and hot cocoa.It's cold enough for it, and everyone nearby seems to be getting buried in it, but we're not getting so much as a dusting yet. It's always like that here, "lake effect snow" be damned. Honestly, we rarely get more inches of snow than I used to get down south, it's just way more frequent. >Oh fuck I just assumed we'd start on the 1st. Although knowing my mom, Christmas stuff went up right after Thanksgiving dinner, so I guess it's not that weird to start the Christmas season early.You're the third person here to express surprise at the Black Friday start we've always had, but there has always been a fair number of people who don't turn up until December anyway. I personally think Black Friday is the best compromise for when to start celebrating Christmas, right after old Saint Nick closes out the Macy's parade. I'm all for holding the line against the Christmas creep and the ever-increasing high Christmastide washing up in the summer months, but I like to start the cheer as soon as possible, because it really is the most wonderful time of the year (as heretical as it may be for a Halloween ghoul to admit this).

TONIGHT ON A NOT SO SPOOKY CHRISTMAS STREAMWith December on the horizon, and the threads in full gear, how about we delve straight into one of the stream traditions? Tonight, instead of our usual stream format, we present a new installment of STOCKING STUFFERS, a selection of 40-60 minute holiday specials and winter movies for maximum cheer. Highlights tonight include the ever lasting humor of the Muppets, a beautiful rendition of the Snow Queen, and the incredible adventures of Ultraman.Stream Link: cy(delete this part)tu(DOT)be(slash)r(slash)SkeletalStreamer
Oh boy, the best threads on /co/ are back!I don't think I'll even bother posting my "main" wishlist and just do the Discworld one, it's been a bit of a tradition that when I get gifted, it's from there anyway:1MEU8AJ5GXJCB co.uk>>146567221I almost don't mind that it happened to me those two years back since now we have this warning. Funny story, I bought something from abebooks or one of the other online bookstores earlier this year, something I've used so rarely that it still had my old address on there. I knew to check and I've added the current one, but for whatever reason it only registered as the billing address and I had to contact my old landlord about it.Also I'm surprised Elusive didn't show up yet, worst case scenario someone will have to take over organizing the wishlists from him. He did recruit someone to help him do it last year, didn't he?The big thing for me this year was I tried taking the A-Levels in math, to put it on my resume and hopefully get a better job in the future (career advisor suggested getting GCSEs in English and math as proof I can speak the language and count - and being cocky I decided to go one step further). Unfortunately, I underestimated the breadth of the material, while at the same time overestimating my ability to absorb said material, so I ended up only having about a week to cover all of Pure Math 2+3, which was baically logarithms, further trigonometry and further calculus. Overall, I barely got a D, which is still a passing grade, but I know I can do better. The worst thing is, I've basically spent £500 for a trial run, and I'm still in the same shitty job.
Not doing a storytime, just showing off the X-Men animated adaption. Gift was resent and it arrived.Looking forward to reading these for the first time in decades. Also looking forward to seeing if the few memories I have of these end up accurate. (Especially regarding the ending.)

Context: When I bought my Amazon tablet some years ago, I didn't bother paying extra for an ad-free experience, so the screen lock is one of the many ads that are being rotated through.Now that it's "Buying Christmas Presents" season, the ads obviously lean into that, and one I just got now was for Disney. And for whatever reason, they've put Spider-Man and Elsa from Frozen next to each other. Bold choice.They really need some Zoomer/late Millennial intern to okay every single thing they do so they don't accidentally step into memes.
>>146593240Or hire someone to lean into the memes. I still remember Sonic's twitter being basically nothing but shitposts.At this point though the spiderman elsa videos are probably better than frozen 2.
Well, it's December now, so I might as well get started on a Christmas comic or two before I head out to yet another board game event. Some of you may recall that I posted rather a lot of Christmas issues of Buster last year. Well, I've got a few more left over for you.
And that ought to be enough for now. Like I said, I have a few more of these... maybe not as many as I would've liked, but that's neither here nor there.

Math is also the tool of the devil but that's my personal opinion. I went from getting a GCSE D and retook in college and got a C. When I got the best job I ever had, my interviewer/soon to be manager was like "we don't look at that. Just show us what you can do". Weirdly enough, I found strength of character to be much more influential than credentials, but that was just the arena I was in I suppose.>>146586966The soundtrack of the Charlie Brown Christmas is my go-to when it comes to background festive music. It's so good.
Aww yeah it’s the best time of the year again!98C7CPSC1M3O
>>146596534>my interviewer/soon to be manager was like "we don't look at that. Just show us what you can do".It's not that I don't believe you, it's that natives don't *need* to prove themselves the way us filthy heathen jobstealers do.Also at this point I hope you're wrong for the sake of my sanity, since by the time I'll pass it all with flying colors I'd have spent more time on it that if I were to just go to school for it and I'd rather that time didn't turn out to be wasted.
December 1st turns out to be, at least this year, the start of Advent. It's only once in about 7 years (on average) that you see it aligning with commercial Advent Calendars.It's also today that I've started realizing my folly with this idea. Since Advent, and therefore the whole liturgical year, doesn't really have a fixed date it starts on (as I've explained >>146576313 here), some readings will show up repeatedly as I check different dates from different years. But I'm in too deep by now, so I'll just have to make the best of it.Today's reading I've grabbed from an Advent Weekday (2021, to be exact), and it's a story of the *other* time Big J multiplied a handful of food to feed the masses. All four Gospels talk about the time he used five loaves of bread and two fish to give 5000 of those who followed him into the desert their fill, and if I remember bible study right, all the numbers mentioned have some symbolic significance.But this is not that story, this is the time, which was mentioned only by Matt and Mark, when J. used seven loaves and "several" fish to feed 4000. Obviously the number 7 was big in the Bible, but I won't be speculating on the significance behind the number "dunno, a bunch I guess".I won't be pondering moral conundrums either, so if you want to know whether these two stories could be interpreted to mean that replicating and redistributing something endlessly without it affecting the original is not only not a sin, but in fact divine, please just go back to the Win-O'-Thread.

>>146597370They're one of the only reasons I come back to this board these days, but I'm always excited to do so. What do you guys like to read? I was more into comics back in the day and largely fell off the wagon over a decade ago. I mostly flew by what looked interesting in the catalog or was on those old recommendation collages that you never seem to see on the boards anymore. I remember being most fond of Grant Morrison's Doom Patrol run and All-Star Superman, the Geoff Johns Green Lantern from which our beloved Holiday Lanterns were derived, and Paul Cornell's stint on Action Comics with Lex Luthor as the protagonist (also an offshoot of a Johns Lantern plot). I did recently enjoy some volumes of the Don Rosa Collection from the library, and I liked the Invader Zim comics when they were coming out. I'm always interested in villain-centric stories. They always tell you to read non-cape comics to get to The Good Stuff, and I remember enjoying Bone and Anya's Ghost, but I seem to have trouble divining what I'll find interesting at a glance.
>>146590714Thanks! Congrats on the fiancee, Snow Miser. Is that a recent development? >>146589047Gifted! From one Discworld fan to another, I hope you enjoy it!

Always good to get a reminder! >>146597370Only reason I come back here anymore. These threads are full of good people, and I like to see that attitude perpetuate year after year.>>146598542Thank you kindly, Johnny. It's "officially unofficial" I'd say. We're hitting a decade with no signs of stopping. There's no ring (yet) but the plans are in motion, and we're at a point we're actually planning a wedding now that the both of us are in a place we can equally contribute to it. Plus we want it all to be ready to go to avoid family drama and people inserting into plans. Quicker turnaround from the official announcements means an easier time for us!>>146598728Good luck with the work shifts!

>>146583333>Mr FrostyHaving had one as a kid, I can confirm that it was a pain in the arse to crush the ice manually, so we just never bothered with it much.>>146598276I like to read the stuff I've been storytiming, so I occasionally dip into the various issues of Showcase and The Brave & The Bold that I've been posting on weekends. On a similar note, I've also gotten into comic book adaptations of novels for some reason, back when I was posting every issue of Classics Illustrated; I've always liked the idea of turning something into a different medium, which is one of the reasons I like modern musicals. People have turned all kinds of shit into stage musicals now, like Reefer Madness, Evil Dead, even Bananaman (that really should've gotten more attention, and it's a crying shame that there's only three songs from the original production on YouTube)>>146598796I want to say the first anime I ever saw was The Moomins, but that was a mainstay on BBC Two for a looooong time.>>146599156>>146599172neurospicy take: recommendations for Christmas comics should probably delineate between stuff that's suitable for kids, and stuff that isn't. I'm not saying that as a way of censorship... I guess I'm more concerned with the overall tone of some books? Let's face it, modern comics are more inclined to be cynical about the festive spirit.

How can I get the Christmas spirit bros? I’m pretty depressed lately.
This is in no way related to Christmas, but since a number of bananas in the last bunch I've bought were all battered and bruised already, I decided to let them ripen and try to make some banana bread. Ladt time I did that, I mostly eyeballed the ingredients and it endedup literally all sunk. Tried to do better this time, we'll see in an hour.>>146600762Through osmosis I guess, that's how most people here do it.
>>146600852I believe in you
>>146586314Thanks, it wasn't an awful year, it just felt kind off to me this year. Don't know what it was. I hope you are doing well. >>146586966thanks >>146600762Don't try to force it though, that makes it harder just find something that'll make you happy for it
>>146600440Thanks!>>146600638You're welcome! I wouldn't say hands are good, but they're adequate.>>146600762Try music? Check out the stream? Hmm..you getting presents for family or friends? Looking for those might work. Don't force it, sometimes you just need to get through a depressive bout. I hope it doesn't last long for you, Anon.Here's Guy on a Buffalo.And I've updated the link in the pastebins now, too.
>>146600762I'm a pretty depressive person, but I'm usually able to make it work, so I'll give you some pointers in the hope that they'll help you, too:>The tree is the centerpiece of the season, so get it out and decorated ASAP. If a typically sized Christmas tree isn't something you have, can get, or have space for, a smaller, decorative tree of any type will do. There are even pre-decorated ones you can find pretty easily. There are ceramic light-ups, miniature artificial trees, all sorts of little things like this. You'll want any gifts under or near the tree until it's time to open it. A bedside table with a tiny tree and a bag of candy is a white dwarf of Christmas spirit, small but dense.>Have Christmas music going whenever you can use some music. I personally recommend this playlist: https://dinosaurdracula.com/christmas-jukebox/>Bake something, even a simple tube of sugar cookies, like those Pillsbury Christmas cookies. A warm kitchen on a cold night sets the mood. You should still make some treats if you live somewhere warm, but it can definitely be tricky to feel the seasonal spirit without colder weather, if you associate that with the time of year. >Christmas media. I recommend Skeletal's weekend streams, but you can do what I'm doing and just use his schedule as a playbook if you aren't able to make them, there's so much good stuff on it: >>146569179 There's also a 24/7 Christmas stream from Sheol at https://vaughn.live/sheol_uk>If you can, and the opportunity presents itself, do something nice for someone. The smallest little things count. It can be as basic as holding a door. They really add up, especially in the season.Basically, you do actively need to cultivate the mood, especially if you're depressed. That's what traditions are really for. I learned the hard way that it does take a little work on your own, especially if you're sad. >>146600969 is right, though, don't force it. Just invite it in. Open the window for it.

>>146600638Oh my God, I did. What a bloody moron. In my defence I'm fighting off this cold so I'll blame that and not some rampant stupidity. >>146600440As pointed out, I'm a dumbass.>>146596754I've been busy today but this has been rattling around in my head. Let me put this into context. Poor family, went to college, did 3 years in IT and restarted the 2nd due to screwing around. Did menial admin work before applying for junior IT support for a small multinational. I got the role because I knew it was my only chance to jump careers as work in the town was dry. Was given a tour and shown the server room. Didn't know half of what I looked it but my enthusiasm for wanting to know won the position. Learnt everything, studied for ISO while there and was made manager when mine left at the age of 23. For reasons, moved and applied at an ISP for support desk. The interview was all day and at midday half of us would be gone. I saw people taking the lazy options, doing the minimal in the tasks. I had no safety net and doing that made me fight harder, think sharper, do better. Got it, then moved to the biggest ISP in the UK a few years later on frontline. There I basically ran frontline instead of our piss poor middle manager, who saw the role as a step up. I was looking after chains of hotels, garages, because nobody wanted to learn the set ups. A few from other teams left for Symantec. X had worked there for 8 years - didn't even get a goodbye card. At lunch I had got my grandad a birthday card. So when I found out at 5pm, I raced around and got people to sign it for X. When I applied at Symantec, the interviewers were blank, I couldn't get a read. I got the job. I asked my manager later who said "I spoke to X about you. You already had the job before you walked in. He told me the kind of person you are."And years later, whenever I hired for them, I would tell every interviewee I don't care about their paper. I cared about who they are and what they could do.

If you do that, I'll make a toffee cake in the next few days and post the results. >>146598728Respecting the effort anon>>146601027You're good people
>Oh no, not Santa's balls!
>>146566787Glad to see you guys again! Hope your all nice and cozy!My list: 37GTE3V3RL9BE>>146569761I am going to the fan showing for that shit, it's going to be great. Sonic Adventure 2's story was basically meant to be a movie.
>>146600852>>146600947>>146601263>gonna need some cake shots when done anonDelivered. It's small, since it's only two bananas' worth, but compared to my first attempt it's like night and day.
Hey peeps a question. I live in one of those god forsaken places that need ID to send, but they told me as they already have my ID any prospective gifter could omit adding it and there'd be no problem. Des anyone have experience with that and/or could I post my list with that instruction just in caseEither way Merry Christmas everyone!
>>146601703>Sonic Adventure 2's story was basically meant to be a movie.It's playing very loose with that but I suppose the main beats are going to be there for the most part. You already know they cut Eggman's announcement or it would have been prominently used in marketing.
>>146601982Looks like it turned out quite well this go round. The one time I don't have any ripe bananas browning in the kitchen ahead of my attention...
>>146601982Looks damn tasty
>>146602152I have no experience with this, but you can post your list with this note, and that'll be with it in the pastebin. If you want to wait and see if anyone else has done this first, that's fine.
>>146602181I would've killed for them doing some stuff with sonic adventure's plot, Chaos would've looked badass on the big screen.
>>146602645If only. I've always wanted my own Egg Carrier.
Good evening, snowy spooks! Been a busy day for me, but I'm here to announce a short, new stream that begins in ONE HOUR! Look forward to it.

And we're back baby, let's goooo! Happy belated Thanksgiving to the Americanons! It's great to see some familiar names up in here and good ol' traditions like >>146581779 getting picked up again, love it>>146573744Congratulations on the baby, buddy! Wishing you the best and the best of times (with tons of sleep, fingers crossed)>>146597370>>146598276Now and then, I hit up a few threads but it's become really difficult given the hostility around here. That's why it's always a great change around Christmas time when everyone here gets back together>>146600762Depression can be a bitch but I think it's a mix of music, food, being thankful for the people you have in your life, and actually wanting to feel the cheer, as cheesy as it sounds. Forcing it never works though so as long as it's halfway natural, it's the best you can do. For me personally, Home Alone 2 can cure all my negativity at any given time during Christmas timeAlso posting my list:1H0UA0MRH0GR1 .de
>>146602997Yay, you made it here!
>>146602152...just checking, but do you live in Chile or something?
>>146601982That looks tasty. I'll try and get mine tomorrow, if not the day after.Now i fancy cake. It's late here and i have no cake.
>>146603136>It's late here and i have no cake.Origin of a supervillain.
>>146603125Yeah
>>146603193Origin? Saneish, in all the years we know him it should be plainly obvious Sheol was already one before the threads, only a true psychopath enjoys inflicting Mondo to others
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ptXmzyyDI8
>>146603241I said *a* supervillain. Sheol has no origin story, he was born this way, to inflict suffering upon us all.
>>146602269>>146603136It IS tasty. I am so proud of myself for it.Now it's time to start learning to bake Christmas-related cakes.
>>146603342Oh, I adore Christmas cakes! Wait...
>>146603359They're called "hags" now.
>>146603366I see.
TONIGHT ON A NOT SO SPOOKY CHRISTMAS STREAMFollowing a newly restored Fleischer short, offering a look into their vibrant interpretation of the season, we kick off the last stream of the weekend with Spongebob Squarepants, to commemorate his 25th anniversary with each of his Christmas specials every week. This week, it's Spongebob's very first Christmas, in which all of Bikini Bottom, sans Squidward, hypes themselves for the coming of Santa!Our main show tonight is one of many different adaptations of Charles Dickens' classic. But to many, it is the definitive version, if not for the substantial additions it makes to the story, but for the incredible performance of Alastair Sim as Ebenezer Scrooge in his supernatural story of redemption. It's the 1951 version of SCROOGE / A CHRISTMAS CAROL!Finally, to ease us all out of the stream, first, Scooby-Doo and the gang contend with a Christmas pageant threatened by both an old miser and by a menacing ghost, and then, under the guise of a false Santa, the brutish Bluto attempts to soil Christmas for his rival, Popeye the Sailor.Stream Link: cy(delete this part)tu(DOT)be(slash)r(slash)SkeletalStreamer

>>146603193Meanwhile Lex Luthor took forty cakes. FORTY!!!>>146603297I remember that one time Sheol tortured me with the Star Wars Holiday Special and I liked it. Does that count as Stockholm Syndrome?
>>146603224Hope you are right anon, would be nice if my bro can post his list again (not me tho, I don't really have anything /co/ in mind I could add)
>>146603550What is your suggestion for next year?

>>146569179The Nackles Aliens from last night's Return of Ultraman put me in an Anti-Claus state of mind, so I'm tossing in the chips for the 'Seasons of Belief' episode of Tales From the Darkside.
Been looking forward to this, I usually miss the first couple cheer threads. Luckily, I'll have 3 weeks off this month to have a proper chill and merry christmastimeAdd me to the list pls2GPDVDLXZI2GT
At long last, the greatest season is here. The tree is up, the snow falls outside, the temperature and the home are nice and cold. Christmas lights dim the living room as we finally spread our cheer. I hope everyone stays safe, stays warm and have a wonderful week this week.K9CD47N0J4O1
I've been holding off on Disney storytimes, but I might as well post this one that was originally a newspaper comic strip, back when Disney did those. This story was written by Carl Fallberg, who got his start as an assistant director on Snow White. The artist is Lorna Smith, who did layouts for Filmation's Star Trek cartoon.
Remember, you need to make sure your vehicle can do long journeys before you have to set off for Christmas (or any other trips you have to make before the big event.) An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, especially when it comes to mechanic bills.
Hi again /cheer/!A better year than 2023. I graduated, which is good, but that means I'm now an overeducated and unexperienced NEET with no student finance or income, which is bad. Been reading a healthy amount of comics since escaping university, which is definitely good, but have also spent way too much on those very comics over the past couple years, which is possibly bad. Had a fun operation last month, which for the time being I cannot say is either good or bad since I'll only find out what the end result will be like later this week. Looking forwards to Christmas still. That's good.I wish I could participate in the gift-sharing further but thanks to the aforementioned new NEETdom I'm not exactly flush these days, so instead I've just gifted 4FG3TUS3O13Y .co.uk a small thing which is far less expensive than I'd have thought it deserves to be. That's good for my wallet though, so enjoy it when it comes along by the end of the week.My own is: 2NGVQ914LHXR9 .co.uk
>>146603261Holy fucking shit, this year's gonna be a wild one
>>146569179I suggest for 12 Tiny Christmas Tales for suggestion night
Another year, another holiday thread! My year’s had ups and downs, but mostly it’s been a good one. Got to dress up in a monster suit for a short film, so that rocked.1747W4LJKKGA3
>>146603261Ashens really fucked up by not taking the Netflix advent calendar
another year, another christmas cheer thread!for my second ever annual visitation to these threads, i somewhat find myself in a similar position from last year where my usual writing output has just gone completely kaput. the last year this happened, i was aiming to write some greentext stories about a scooby doo mystery taking place in christmas but sadly, it wasn't meant to bei'm not certain enough to revive it for these threads but regardless, i'm happy to fulfil any greentext requests the thread may have. it's the least i can do and i want to get in the writing spirit so that I can write a story for my girlfriend as lil personalised giftoh and before i forget! my wishlist is XZSB9QJ6E12Z .co.uk
If anyone has any Christmas sketch requests with references then please feel free to drop them.

SHAME!>>146603746I always say, it doesn't need to be /co/-related. I know some think differently, but it really shouldn't matter, especially with how prices on stuff can suddenly jump.
>>146605699Yeah, Amazon really isn't the best place for comics shopping, but we make do. Always fun to see a random book I threw on a year ago be over 50 dollars by the next season.

Thanks to everyone who joined tonight's stream! I'm headed to sleep before a busy monday, finishing a school project. But I hope you're looking forward to more streams this coming weekend, and I'll be certain to check in on the thread regularly!
This really gets me in the holiday spirit. My car broke down on thanksgiving, and this thread has made me feel nice. I'll see if I can get anyone Anything on their lists, might post my own at some point.
>>146606436Sorry about your car, but glad we can give the nice feelings!

Woke up not being able to breathe, like there's a brick in my sinuses. Tis the season I suppose - FOR GERMS!>>146603565The Star Wars Holiday Special is such a slog to watch after seeing it a few times. I've removed it from the list this year and I regret nothing. Christmas In New York will never leave though.>>146603241I can't refute this. >>146603297Neither this.>>146605068I believe you can do the writing, anon. Do it. Motivation is an absolute bitch at times, but chip away at it. 10 or 50 words a day is still progress and progress is better than no progress.

>>146607664Saw your art from the main page. Just wanted to say I like it. reminds me Cooke (RIP).

>>146604256Congrats on your graduation, anon. Experience comes over time, just make sure you apply as soon as possible so you get the necessary experience. Also wishing you the best regarding the outcome of your operation>>146608150I feel you. Doesn't hurt to just post it with a note though. Really wish it were a lot easier for people in specific countries to post their lists and receive gifts
Woke up, it's in the teens out there. My hands will fall off at this rate, damn New England oil heating.>>146608329That reminds me - I've always hesitated but I want to be sure everyone gets a gift. For those anons in other countries, is it as simple as creating an Amazon account in those countries as well so I can buy and ship to them? Or is there some other trick to buying a gift for them?>>146607664Oof, terribly sorry you're under the weather. I'd say better now than during the holidays, but truthfully there really is no good time.>>146606436Hoping the repairs aren't too costly! Just happy you're safe in the end.>>146605068Write as you see fit. I can't tell you how to fix the bug, but I'm a fellow writer who finally found their passion in recent months. Love of the pursuit of storytelling is the best I can say, so I hope you can find the mood so you may enjoy yourself.>>146604661Did the film get to premiere anywhere?
>>146608438>Woke up, it's in the teens out thereCanadanons are envious>For those anons in other countries, is it as simple as creating an Amazon account in those countries as well so I can buy and ship to them?You don't even need to create an account, it's already there. Simply log in with your regular data and you can order. That's how I always did it with .com, co.uk, and the other ones. I don't think our .de Amazon is the only one that transfers accounts to the other Amazons
Also, forgot to mention in >>146608497 that you may have to fill out your credit card data. It asked me but only because I use my regular bank card on my .de account and not my credit card
>>146608497Handy, thank you! For some reason I worried there would be roadblocks to getting it done.And I'll send a little something for the Canadanons so they can get into the spirit of the season!
>>146608438>>146608497can confirm for this, I've bought things for most of the suffixes, and I've only ever logged in with my .co.uk details, you may have to go to the top left and change the "deliver to" section or the site will only want to show you things that can be delivered to where you are

Monday, December 2nd - start of yet another workweek. But at least we're in the last month, the holiday break is within our reach.Unless you work in some kinda customer service job, in which case I feel for you.Today's reading (and by "today" I do mean today, as in 2024) comes from Gospel of Matt and is set in his very own home village of Capernaum. As Jesus and his crew were strolling around a centurion approached him, asking to heal his servant. J agreed to go see him, but the Roman stopped him, claiming he's not worthy to host him and totally not because his house looks like shit on account of is servant's palsy, and asked him to just wi-fi it from distance."See, this guy gets it", spake Jesus, and after indeed wi-fi'ing the servant back to health, announced that the centurion's faith was a sign that many other outsiders will bask in the glory of the Kingdom of Heaven. Which I guess is good news for all of us Gentiles.Also I've just realized that JC is often depicted with a red cape strapped over one shoulder, I will have to remember it when prepping the "art".
>>146603843The Kamen Rider Drive Christmas episodes "What is in the Belt's Past?" and "Who Can Prevent the Dark Christmas Eve?". Because of how most modern KR episodes are we'd probably have to stream both. Wouldn't work for suggestion night but it would be perfect for a Stocking Stuffer next year.
>>146608609I thought so as well when I tried gifting US anons during my first year in the threads. Saw that a US anon gifted my German Amazon account so I just tried it out. Wound up failing to register because it said my account had already been taken which was when I found out it was easier than I thoughtAlso what Brit said here >>146608629, sometimes it looks like you can't buy the stuff because it has your address locked in
>>146608751Obvious solution: Ex-Aid's Christmas special
>mfw I just learned that there's an album version of Marley And Marleyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6b92VLDt9ag
I remember the day I wrote a shitposty one-act play of A Christmas Carol, wish I still had the file, it started with the narrator talking shit about the parts of the story before the ghosts and everything going sideways from there
>>146609596They did film footage for the extra lyrics, but it's almost lost media, the only surviving copy looks like shit. Regardless, I've edited it into the stream copy of this movie every year.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnZVY-ZdTHs
>>146608751Noted. More Stocking Stuffers are always good. Thank you!
>>146600149>modern comics are more inclined to be cynical about the festive spirit.I agree.
Merry Christmas everybody !HF5MA09G4U3K
>>146567212Cute
... bugger, I was meant to start this yesterday, but I completely forgot when I went out to play board games (I had a blast, btw; one of the semi-regulars brought her dad, who didn't have the best grasp on English, but we managed to get him to play 6 Nimmt which he did really well at - it was nice to praise his moves with the occasional thumbs up, but I digress...)You may recall last year I posted a bunch of threads on the catalog with various adaptations comic book adaptations/takes on A Christmas Carol. This year, I figured I'd keep it in the Cheer threads, as you lot are probably the most receptive to it. I won't post the direct adaptations, as they tend to be fairly lengthy and I don't want to crowd out people who just want to chat itt.Anyway, all that preamble is to let you know that I'll be posting one of these a day (I'll be doing two today because I forgot yesterday's). This one comes from Archie's Sonic the Hedgehog #6; it was the back-up strip to a rather bare-bones adaptation of Sonic Spinball. Angelo DeCesare has been working at Archie for a long time, and even branched out into kids books and cartoons for younger audiences (he wrote episodes of Bubble Guppies and Fixi & Foxi back in the 00s). Dave Manak is best known for his work on early Archie Sonic, but he's also done work writing and drawing for various 80s DC titles like Plop, Atari Force and Weird War Tales.
>>146601027thank you, anon :) and everyone else who left a reply
I'll post another Christmas Carol comic in a bit (because goodness knows I don't have enough gimmick storytimes going on itt)
>>146608438>Did the film get to premiere anywhere?It’s still getting edited, but what I’ve been seeing looks good! On track for a 2025 release, here’s hoping I can post it here next year.

Had a rough weekend at work but so glad to see the thread up and running for the season!
>>146613431That's really fucking cool!
>>146613687https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2_zb6oyep8
I promised you all another Christmas Carol pastiche tonight, and here it is!For anyone who isn't aware, Project Superpowers was Dynamite's attempt to use a bunch of Golden Age superheroes who had fallen into the public domain and (unlike all the morons who jizzed themselves over Steamboat Willie going public domain) actually did something interesting with them.
Alex Ross's name has become a byword for excellence in comic book art, and attempting to summarise his genius is beyond my meager talents.Brandon Jerwa became synonymous with G.I. Joe comics in the 00s, to the point that his likeness was used for the 2006 Dragonsky action figure.Patrick Berkenkotter was a Dynamite workhorse for a while, doing interior art for titles such as Vampirella, Red Sonja and Warlord of Mars.
For anyone wondering this doesn't appear to have affected the overall plot of Project Superpowers in any way. In fact, I don't think The Clown ever showed up before or after this.
Anyway, here's some production art. I'll have another Christmas Carol comic tomorrow, as well as maybe some other stuff.
>>146615200Interesting comic, and interesting concept. Christmas Carol with superheroes is a fun spin I've not seen done quite this way before. Thanks for the storytime, Minifig!>>146613431I'll keep my fingers crossed we can see it soon!>>146613911Sorry to hear, Wynaut. Just glad you're here for another year - may the Christmas spirit improve your week!
>>146616014I was tempted to post the Legends of The Dark Knight Halloween Special that was basically Batman undergoing the same visions as Scrooge, but set at Halloween... but even doing that after Thanksgiving and before December, it seemed like that ship had sailed some time ago.
Hello hello! Hope everyone has had a good start to the month so far. I've been thinking about trying to fit in one holiday movie a day, but with how grueling my work is, I'm not sure if I'll be able to keep up that pace. Plus, it usually takes me an eternity to settle on what I actually want to watch...Yesterday was "Better Watch Out" (2016), not sure about tonight... Maybe that terrible-looking "Dear Santa" movie that just released on Paramount+ where Jack Black plays Satan who a dyslexic kid mixes up for Santa. Any suggestions for your holiday staples?17KSTDZ8AY5O7
>>146615559That reminds me I gotta find some comics to storytime>>146610868You're welcome!
>>146616319>Dear SantaI still insist they ripped off my idea when I suggested that drawing
>>146616319I always watch the Chuck Jones and Jim Carrey Grinches, as well as A Christmas Story. Usually one of the Home Alones, in yearly rotation. Everything else fluctuates but those are my true staples. I find that what you watched in your youth tends to be what really becomes a staple, so movies you don't have a long-standing relationship with may not really do it for you.
>>146616492We all come to that idea in one form or another at some point, I think. HIM from The Powerpuff Girls was intended to be named Satan Claws (and now everything about his design makes sense).
>>146616319We're currently watching "Hot Frosty" for a laugh. I expect nothing but a cringe film and so far, I'm getting it.Didn't realize the woman who played Gretchen in Mean Girls was the lead, or that she was in so many cartoons.I'll give a full report later.Otherwise? My staples are Rankin Bass classics - and you know which one is at the top of the list.If you do watch "Dear Santa," I'd love to find out how that is.>>146616176That's reasonable. I'll have to read it on my own time, I can't believe I've slept on some of these for so long.
>>146603488From past stream with AVGN's seasonal special: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sC0cvwnG0Ik
>>146616319>Any suggestions for your holiday staples?I used to watch the classics, Home Alone and Die Hard on Christmas Day, and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York and Die Hard 2: Die Harder on Christmas Day 2: Boxing Day, But I stopped once I've realized that after several years I knew the movies by heart.
>>146617023I've never actually seen Die Harder, but I love Die Hard with a Vengeance as much as the original. I should give that a go this Christmas 2.

>>146616319Miracle on 34th street for sure. There's usually Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings marathons when I visit my parents, but I watch it mostly just because it's on.

>>146608438Had a colder weekend than it was today, get mornings in the 30's but reaching 50's for the rest of the day >>146613911I hope things pick up for you >>146616319>They actually made something based on the old writing prompt of confusing Santa and Satan wow I watch a lot of Christmas stuff during this time it's kind of madness. I could say a whole bunch of stuff, but I'll say something Like Arthur Christmas it's really good. I also like A Christmas Story, A Christmas Carol 1984, A Muppets Christmas Carol, Any of the Charlie Brown Christmas stuff -there's more than one- that's as far I'll go here since a couple other things were already mentioned too.
>>146617169thats quality literature tho
>>146617169Eh, the translation is pretty wonky (Scrooge is described in one panel as "closed off and by himself as an oyster" which... c'mon, "solitary as an oyster" was right there) but it doesn't seem too bad. You probably won't want to read the adaptation of Dracula that Disney Italia did a few years ago
>>146613687Calling it now, the doctor advent calendar will be clutch on more than a couple days
>>146608692lol>>146613911Work is humbug.Pastebins are updated. We gots 24 ungifted right now.
Every year I enjoy these threads but I never post so hi thanks to everyone that makes threads so fun!Hoping to think of something reasonable to add to my wish list so I can actually participate this year.
Someone just helped me out in getting one of my favourite series of all time, so time to pass that on!>>146576151>3QBXCBG3MMNMGYou is now gifted!I couldn't not get this for you, especially after reading one of the reviews: But 2 days after Halloween my niece who is the same age somehow got it over her head and is now stuck. Will update once we figure out how to get it off....It should be there Saturday!Also a note, I tried gifting you 2 other things, but it said they couldn't be shipped to wishlist addresses for some reason. They were Buckaroo Banzai and The Eye of Winter's Fury. I don't know why, so check things on your end for your other stuffs.>>146618487Fondling nipples -- OUTRAGEOUS!
>>146603971Ok, so I did some testing with this, and it won't work. Yes, you can skip the ID for now, but if you don't get it in 48hrs, they'll cancel the order. Sorry!

Delivered. Orange and toffee cake. Orange is by extract, those are little toffee bits in there. Turned out alright.
Oh boy oh boy, what a year it has been /co/. Last Christmas, my mom slipped in the kitchen and broke her spine. Spent the first half of the year helping her recover, and thankfully, she's doing great! Going through that taught me that a lot of my close friends/colleagues were taking advantage of me, so I cut ties with a lot of people dragging me down. And this past week, I made a huge step towards something I've needed to do for a long time and I left my wife . It's for good reasons, and I think it'll make us both a lot happier.Finances may be tight right now, I just lost a big case I was working on, but I'm sure it'll come back around. This whole year has been a challenge that's made me happier and stronger, and I hope to gift a dozen or so lists like I did last year now that things are settling in again :) Life is short, it's worth spreading the cheer!2RMMWNL22JFRN
>>146567502No one is gonna be my JENNUUUUUUUU for christmas, aren't they?
>>146619396Figured. I only tries to do this as this year has been an absolute shit in every sense, to the point I'd have tested myself but I'm actually broke and had to skip another gift exchange I do so no xmas this year.I have absolutely no idea why amazon is the only site that asks for ID, they say is cuz regulations and stuff but that is bullshit as literally no other site does for nothing hell I've bought meds and nothing. It's not even for taxes as you just pay for them. (They have no problem with me buying stuff for other people tho)But anyway thanks for trying, sorry for the rant and fuck amazon.
>>146620492>she's doing great!Glad to heard! Stay safe out there and all the best!
>>146620390Wow, that looks really nice!
This year, December 3rd is Giving Tuesday, and I'm not completely sure if it's a good thing or just an excuse for megacorps to cosplay as something that's not a soulless infant crusher. With Google and Microsoft as partners, I have my doubts.But this is not about them, it's about early 1st century Mediterranean. Today's reading is from the Gospel of Luke, where Jesus tells us to rejoice, because he brings us an inside scoop the prophets and king of yore could not even imagine. After all, everything he does is through his Father, for nobody knows the Son like the Father - and, on the flipside, nobody knows the Father like the Son, and now he's passing that knowledge onto the "little ones".For someone urging others to turn the other cheek, he's quite adept at backhanded compliments.
I've got another Disney Duck story for you all, courtesy of Uncle Scrooge #360. The writing is by Stefan and Unn Printz-Påhlson, a husband-wife duo who started working on Disney comics in 1979 and 1988 respectively, and nowadays work as editors for the various Disney titles in their home country of Sweden.Art was by the late Daniel Branca, who started working as an assistant animator for an ad company when he was 16, and eventually gravitated towards Disney comics while doing work on other comics in his native Argentina.The translation is courtesy of Tony Isabella, of all people; if the name sounds familiar, he co-created Misty Knight and Black Lightning, and apparently worked on a dozen translations for various Disney stories in the mid-00s. He also wrote the Star Trek novel The Case of the Colonist's Corpse, which I highly recommend.
>>146616373Please do! I am painfully aware that I can monopolise threads sometimes with my storytimes, and I'm more than happy for others to join in!>>146616543That's the thing with comics - there's always something fun you've never gotten round to reading.>>146620390I bet that tastes great
>>146620492Damn... as somebody who's had to cut really fucking shitty people out of their life, all I can say is that it gets easier eventually. Glad your mother's doing much better.
>>146620980Jesus was a lot snarkier than most people think; Matthew 7:3-5 was basically one of the earliest recorded stand-up routines.
>>146620492Damn, that is a heck of a year. Glad you're making good decisions for yourself, and that your mom's ok.>>146620520Ranting's fine. Fuck amazon, really wish we had more options to do this with.
Remember, sometimes you CAN combine business with pleasure.
>>146620492Fuck... sorry to hear about all that. Hope things work out for you
>>146620492Hey, your life sounds like it's going in a better direction
>>146609596>>146610850... is it bad that I prefer the theatrical cut? Those last verses don't seem to have the same impact as DOOMED, SCROOGE
Any suggestions for a good Christmas-themed playlist on Spotify?
>>146621028Great, now I have to look up Bible verses
>>146620492>Last Christmas, my mom slipped in the kitchen and broke her spine. Spent the first half of the year helping her recover, and thankfully, she's doing great!This cover sure has taken some artistic liberties.
>>146622113KEK
>>146622113lol
>>146605198Sure thing anon. I love Green Lantern.
I might as well post another festive issue of Buster; I'm having to jump ahead a bit, as scans of Buster are thin on the ground as it is, and they only get thinner the more modern they get.At this point, Buster was pretty much the only comic I.P.C./Fleetway had left, besides 2000AD and Judge Dredd Megazine. The British comic book industry was slowly eating itself thanks to a number of factors too depressing to list here, but one of them was publishers putting out too many titles that got cancelled quickly.Speaking of which, Buster had merged with quite a few titles since 1985. Three, to be precise: Nipper, Oink!, and Whizzer & Chips. This brought the number of comics that Buster had merged with up to an even dozen (since you asked, the other titles were Radio Fun, Film Fun, The Big One, Giggle, Jet, Cor!!, Monster Fun, Jackpot and School Fun). W&C was the last one that Buster would ever merge with... mainly because there weren't any more that I.P.C./Fleetway had left.
>>146621032Now there's a bird I wouldn't mind having for dinner.
>>146622562Nice Santa Lantern!
terrible thread. thank god it'll be over in less than a month
I might storytime something else in an hour or two so we can get this thread closer to autosage - first, though, I need to get my dinner sorted.>>146622863No, I love YOU the most!
>>146622863>>146622870Don't fight, you two! Just kiss it out under the mistletoe!
>>146622927Sane-ish, not all your problems can be solved with guys making out
>>146623106... or CAN it?
>>146623221Life's a bitch and then you die.
>>146622865>two drawings made on AmigasBlimey, what a nostalgia trip
>>146622865>Happy ChristmasI always found this slightly annoying until Harry Potter made it feel kind of quaint. "Merry" as a word is almost exclusively used in Christmas wishes and they refuse to touch it across the pond for whatever reason. Can anyone shed some light on this?
>>146621020Yeah but it's hard trying to find stuffI'm slowly building a collection though, might start next thread

What are you most looking forward to in December? For me it's all the Christmas related porn.
>>146623353>What are you most looking forward to in December?The sense of anticipation and general good cheer are the best parts, I think. Christmas always died on Christmas for me. Christmas afternoon has always been this weird, melancholic, liminal void in my experience. In some ways the 26th is actually the grander celebration, when you can actually start playing those games/watching those shows/reading those books you got in earnest. >For me it's all the Christmas related porn.Oh, it's Goon Miser. ...This isn't snow, is it...>I'm Mr. Porn Addict>I'm Mr. Edge>I'm Mr. Beat-My-Dick>I'm Mr. Can't-Feel-My-Legs>Friends call me Goon Miser,>whatever I touch>Gets covered in my nut (Haha!)>I'm too much!I don't know about Christmas related porn. The Santa dresses don't do it for me because I don't think Santa is a sexy association to make. There's a lot of putting candy canes in places they don't belong and I can't suspend my disbelief on introducing peppermint to those areas being anything but thoroughly unpleasant. Ribbons and bows are nice, though, and mistletoe can make for interesting framing.
>>146623589Was that song supposed to be funny? We all consume porn here.
>>146619086I noticed that wishlist is for someone in Canada. There is currently a postal strike and some sellers are halting shipments to Canada. I asked a friend who also lives there to check their list and they sent me pic related. Looks like Canadian wishlists might be tricky to gift this year.
>>146623353Same thing as each year for almost 30 years: the least important day of the year
It's time for another Christmas Carol comic, and this one's from Archie's TV Laugh-Out #93. This one's a bit of a truncated take on Dickens' classic, and I can't remember the people who made it off the top of my head.
Looks like we're getting close to autosage. Somebody want to do the honours?
>>146624580Nice of Dracula to get into the festive spirit!
Really enjoying these comics anons
>>146623832What's that?
>>146624586I'd be happy to throw it together. Do we wait until Page 10 or when?
I've got it ready in the next tab. I'll wait at least a bit, if not to the last page, depending.
>>146625062Something that happens after Christmas but before New Year
>>146625274Thought as much. An eerily calm and quiet time.
>>146625289Alright, alright, I'm talking about my birthday, literally the day after Christmas
>>146625317Sorry about the timing there, but there couldn't be a cozier place for it on the calendar.
>>146616319Consider putting on the movie but listen to it more like a radio play, watch the visuals when you can someday. Work sucks, but I get it: we need to live unfortunately.
Alright, let's get this show on the road:>>146625575>>146625575>>146625575
