K.A.C. 2011 - T - 16 ...

     Good morning and Happy Friday! We've got two items for your perusal to wrap up the work week with ... first, it looks like the K.A.C. isn't the ONLY kitschy advent calendar out there ... here's one I'm particularly fond of. It's the 'Cthulhu Christmas Calendar' App for your smartphone or iPad. Counting down every day, from December 1st to the 25th, is a new illustration from one of H.P. Lovecraft's creations (I'm rather tickled with the 'Shoggoths mailing their Christmas Wish Lists to Santa' illo, seen in the middle). If you would like the Great Old Ones to help you count down how many days until your extinction (or Christmas, whichever comes first), here's the link!

     Next is another perennial favorite here - if you remember the 'Meat Nativity' (see my blog entry from December 6th, 2010) - well, here's this year's version! Doing their best to take the top prize (and you won't BELIEVE some of the anthropomorphic animal entries here) are the 27 (!!!) Worst Nativity Sets (and counting)! Thanks to Bill for the link!
