Christmas 2014

So, it's been a while since the last post. We ended up without power through Thanksgiving so had a pie fest and wine brought over by good friends, instead of the traditional traditions. Nico and I did get our annual viewing of Muppet Family Christmas in, as well as our fabulous Friday shopping and annual movie going (Mockingjay pt. 1) so it was a fun time despite the lack of that miracle discovery known as electricity and the evilness of trees, which, as we all know, thanks to Gwyneth Paltrow's immortal SNL performance, are the Devil (as, apparently, are Rainforests!). (no video seems to exist of this, probably due to copyright, but here is a link to the SNL transcript: http://snltranscripts.jt.org/98/98lmindysky.phtml  )
Moving on... to the next holiday, it is almost Christmas. So, in celebration, here is my 2014 Christmas card split up into panels. Over the next couple of days I hope to post two surprises. Meantime, wishing you all a Merry, Merry and a Happy, Happy!

Happy Thanksgiving!

In celebration of today, actual Thanksgiving, here is a special Thanksgiving treat, a mini-graphic novel entitled "One Thanksgiving Morning"

And now it's time to gather the family around the computer (laptop or cell phone) to enjoy that Thanksgiving classic "The Turkey Prince". Just click on the link and you will be transported:

Happy Thanksgiving Cartoon Countdown: Day # 5



Happy night before Thanksgiving! It is seriously snowing here (drat!) but the shopping for tomorrow is all finished... after a quick trip to Rite Aid. Though the following cartoon might apply to many cooks preparing for their big family dinners!

And, finally, just a few of the pies Nico has baked during the Thanksgiving  pie bake-athon:

Happy Thanksgiving Cartoon Countdown: Day # 3

Today it was 60 degrees! My kind of Thanksgiving weather. There is also a weather advisory saying SNOW! Hopefully it will blow out to sea... or to Buffalo.
Now, here is Thanksgiving  Countdown cartoon # 3:

 

And, an integral part of our Thanksgiving day celebration is the Annual Viewing of Muppet Family Christmas:

Nico and I LOVE Thanksgiving! We are all about cooking and baking and eating (and shopping!!) (and going to the MOVIES!!!). In honor of this most fabulous time I have drawn a new cartoon for today and the days leading up to it. Here is cartoon #1
