Sleek and Savage is a pretty great name for a book.

It's surprising how much fun it is to draw something childish with an old box of crayolas.

Actually, that Festivus Wreathe you're holding is made of Poison Oak.

Well, that would explain the itchiness.

At least it's festive itchiness!

The color of the rashes it causes are the same as the traditional Festivus colors, hence the name, Festivus Poison Oak.

There is a small part of me that hopes you are not wearing that Sonic t-shirt ironically. But it's only a really small part.

Also, yeah, go play Colossus, post haste.

Heh, aw man... so, when I rushed to submit my Festivus info, I totally forgot to change my address from what I used last year (since I had a forwarding order at the time) to where I am now, so my mom called me today and mentioned that a box full of stuff arrived at her house today. *headsmack*

So I am posting to say that it arrived safely, gift giver Tim (she didn't dig around for a username)! She had even opened it, assuming it was one of her many auctions, and was like "Whoa", but I told her not to tell me what's in it yet. I probably wasn't going to open it anyway until I get my own box out later this week. (many apologies to my giftee, it'll probably go out last minute at this rate) I'm not sure whether to have her resend it to me (since she opened it already, she can't just forward it) or have her bring it up when she visits for Christmas. Maybe in the spirit of Festivus, it'll be the latter. From what I heard of the box, many thanks in advance

TO BE CONTINUED...

Well since you kind of got the package, I'll tell you that it was from me (My User name was on the box, so you would of known anyway soon enough).

I won't tell you what's inside it, but I will say that at one point it did have a Apple Powerbook 160. Sure, it would not be at all practical, but it's the only way to play "The Oregon Trail" and "Dark Castle" with style. I ended up not sending it because the battery in it is totally dead and will only work when it's removed from the laptop, and because the hard drive died a few weeks back. Considering every else I sent in its place, it should be fine.

In any case, I hope you enjoy it when you do receive it.

I got my festivus gift from Sheana!

When I first opened the box there was powdered sugar everywhere - and where there's smoke, there's fire. Delicious fire.



She made me homemade chocolates! There's nuts and marshmellows in them too, it's like eating the candy version of rocky road ice cream.



The pictures show less than half of what Sheana sent...by the time I got around to taking the photos most got eaten. There were some lovely rose-shaped ones. I would say the only downside to this gift was that I had to share with my loved ones.

Also Beast and Honker were there.



And inside the card she drew a super-cute Xmas rat.

Cat Not Included. Though it does make a lovely accessory for the whole show, even if it is a dirty chocolate stealin' thief. Awww what a color-coordinated cutie.

Yay, I'm glad you liked, and those are some real fab photos! Sorry the powdered sugar leaked everywhere, hah. Darn plastic wrap wasn't sticking shut for some reason when I packaged it. Said sugar was to class up the chocolates but also to keep instantly-melty chocolate from getting all over everything. There's also Oreo crumbs in them to accompany the hazelnuts and marshmallows!

Beast is so pleased with his chocolate. It's a shame Honker's got a terminal wardrobe malfunction and can't see his. Happy Festivus!

Those look delicious, and kudos for posting pictures!

Anyone who has received a gift but has not posted pictures is a bad person in my book.

I'm half kidding.
