So every year I try to find something fun that I can sort of parcel out day by day until Christmas here at the ol’ blog. Last year it was the Pogo Christmas Countdown, the year before was Spaceman Discovers Christmas, and the year before that was the Popular Comics greeting cards from 1951.

Oh man, you’re in for a treat this December. From W.T. Grant Co. comes Chester Cheer & Gregory the Green Deer in "A Circus Christmas!"

It’ll be running Monday through Saturday all month right up until Christmas and you won’t want to miss out.

So, here goes. We’ll start with the cover:

Over Thanksgiving I was out to visit the family in Iowa, and we attended the Quad City Arts Festival of Trees.

While there was plenty of great stuff to look at, I thought these two displays were especially fun:

If I’d had a decent way to get this home, I would’ve bought it in a second. Then again I could’ve just eaten it back at the hotel. Oh well…

Hee-hee! Love the Wolverine claws at the top! I wonder if they’re for Ol’ Saint Snikt?
