Do you men have a Christmas tie? I do. It isn’t exactly like Arlo’s in the 2012 comic above, but it’s similar. I wear it maybe twice during the holiday season, and in years when I’m not required to attend a funeral it will be the only tie I don. That’s another benefit of being a cartoonist.

    I grew up in Memphis. I visited a lot of Mississippi towns as a trucker. I never heard of Iuka, MS, but that’s how far my shirts have made it since they shipped on the 8th. Snail mail indeed!

    Trucker, I have been in Iuka, Mississippi many times but then I was a floral sales rep and had to work Mississippi more than once.

    That’s where our shirts are shipping from.

    Debbe 😉 Trying to remember if I’ve ever actually done that. Not in total darkness, that I can recall. And certainly not with Courteney. She was a cute little thing back then, wasn’t she?

    Have been dutifully working on Christmas tree and ornaments for about four hours and listening to good music, Pachibel right now with our Ean waves. This reminds me of doing this professionally because all I have done is try to free the decorations from the plastic they are entombed in and remove the tags without thinking evil thoughts about some poor Third World child who did the work.

    It is a PITA and nothing has changed. Hoever, the crystal and white stuff has been so astoundingly beautiful I would like to perhaps do that or perhaps a Coastal Chic tree with blues, greens, crystals in a pastel blend. My living room is thathe now and I think that would be stunning and yes, this is just for me.

    By the way, it was dogs who started on it. A metallic wrapped candy cane and a fake cupcake.

    Ghost, who is this Lucy that you write with? For years I had a Christmas morning tradition of exchanging gifts under the tree. Then kids came along and the tradition had to stop.
