So I was gonna wait until tomorrow but…my 4 year old is in hospital with Kawasaki disease. He’s had a rough couple days but is finally getting the meds we knew he needed two days ago but they didn’t wanna diagnose it that soon. My wife and him are troopers and the lovely nurses there even went out to get him Christmas presents to wrap and put out for him in the AM. So kind, I nearly cried.

Anyways, it’s been a stressful day and I needed some joy too and thanks to @BuscemasAvengers I got a ton of it. Amazing! Again such kindness! The only book I already have is the Joe 1 which I know a guy who would love so the gift giving shall be passed further along. Thanks so much, hug your loved ones and merry Christmas to all!

oh and not pictured is a Tim’s card! Non canucks won’t understand but fellow Canadians will nod their appreciation.

#45 is good too. If Blade is written right he's great.

I opened my goodies this morning from @Bluemedgroup and was blown away by the Kirby Artisan Edition and other goodies. I don’t have anything like this, and it’s crazy to see the penciled covers. Amazing. Thank you! I’m going to read the FF211 now as well!

 

To all of my awesome and fellow boardies- have a blessed Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza, and holiday. Let’s hope for a peaceful New Year. Oh, of course to keep the comic love flowing too!

Happy holidays everyone- special thanks to SS @HighRadArt ... what a fun assortment!! Each gift was theme-wrapped ... including some psychedelic wrapping for the Freak Bros stash box / underground comix and this Batman wrapping hiding a haul of Spawn & Dr Aphra comics. Gotta step up my game next year! Thank you & more thanks to come. Best, Om

I got to open my Santa gift from @Kramerica this morning. Thank you Mark for some awesome books!!

Unfortunately we are now in Day #3 of a total driving ban here in Western New York. 4+ feet of snow, single digit temperatures, 79 mph wind gusts and most side roads have yet to be plowed. Some family members still without power or a way to get to them (kids are snowshoeing over with supplies right now) so Christmas Dinner may have to be postponed a day or so. 

Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays Everyone!!

Thanks to @comicparadox for a fantastic Secret Santa package! So much Spidey and Batman goodness!!!!

Really looking forward to finally reading The Long Halloween (don’t shame me! I know, I know, I should have read it already!!) in particular!
