You took the words right out of my mouth Re: Necrodancer. They seem great but just haven't been able to get into them. Anyway thank you for all your musings and listings this year keeping us all entertained!!

As it turns out, we have almost entirely opposite tastes in Christmas music

So that'd be, what... like, the one where the dogs bark Jingle Bells?

NO FELIZ NAVIDAD AND NO BRUCE SANTA COMING TO TOWN???!!

skep what are we even doin here man, what the fuck

I just kind of feel like our lists are bizzaro versions of each other's. This is what I would say mine is, in no particular order:

The Christmas Song, O Little Town of Bethlehem, Hark the Herald Angels Sing, White Christmas, Jingle Bell Rock, God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen, Silent Night, Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let it Snow, All I Want for Christmas is You

That Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer with Bing Crosby and Ella Fitzgerald is a banger, though.

for any passersby who need to hear a christmas song so good that if you listen to it you automatically get a +2 vit buff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76WFkKp8Tjs

Shout-outs to Snoopy's Christmas for being to my knowledge the only Christmas song about World War I dogfighting and mortal enemies destined to kill one another

That's the only one? Weird, that's how I always interpreted Baby It's Cold Outside

I love Good King Wenceslas. My favorite guilty pleasure Christmas song is Christmas in Las Vegas by Richard Cheese

I can't listen to "Duel of the Fates" unless it is the music video version. Also, your lack of any songs from "Christmas in the Stars: Star Wars Christmas Album" is disturbing.

skep i've been thinking about this HERESY all day and i honestly might pull an em-dawg and publish my own top 10 over this

> now that I have Eleventy set up the way I like it, I don’t really want to spend a lot more time fussing with it

so wise... messing with your site and meta-posts about your site setup is the endless black void that keeps calling to me...

I have plenty of other site things to futz with and subsequently post about, don't worry

Ah, but my homework says *squints at screen, pushes glasses up, punches numbers into old printing calculator* maybe also pork barbeque

Ooh I do like pork barbecue.

:rubbing hands together: i hear you would like to receive random tchotchkes this holiday season

Another good gift might be a ballistic tchotchke point defense system.

Unicursal Mazes are the gifts that keeps on giving.

SO real. Atp in my life I'd rather just go somewhere, or like maybe expendable food is okay, but even that is getting to be a bit much because I literally have snacks piling up and going rancid :E|

I was trying to figure out a way to make an analog grimace emoji but i hit enter too soon. Whoops

being skep's #1 fan never fails to pay off -- so true, tell em king

Oh it is on. You are about to be answered...by a page on my website.

I remember hotel breakfasts in California when I was there. (yes, not just one hotel) We were told there were great breakfast menus:(

That's all I have to say

The ultimate chip shame is reaching the crumbs at the bottom and using the bag to funnel them directly into your mouth. Also, if we’re allowing foods with origins elsewhere, I’d add Tex Mex to the list. It’s just as popular as pizza and significantly more delicious.

lol ngl I was ready to unfollow you if you wrote french fries /s

That would be fair

you should unfollow skep anyway, as a joke. just as a little prank

No "Blooming Onion"?

Damn Asterion, I wish I'd thought of the Bloomin' Onion.

It's called Abstract Expressionism, PLEBE. And sometimes when your husband hoards giant weird stamps you have to use them before postage rises so much you have to put 3 on an envelope.

I'm just saying, from here until forevermore I'm going to have to assume that all fancy-ass stamps were picked out specially for me.

Also is that how expensive postage is these days, good lord.

cannot wait to use some chris ware stamps on a letter to skep that just says "post this too, nerd"

They bumped it to 78 cents recently. It's still way cheaper than many other countries, but I never would have envisioned pen paling to be expensive.

You're costing me too much Emily, I don't think this is going to work out

But what will it cost you if you give up the correspondence? Happiness? Safety? You have no way of knowing whether or not I pursue former penpals across the earth like Frankenstein's creature.

Hmmm. You're right, I do not know that. So here's a question: do you pursue former penpals across the earth like Frankenstein's creature?
