Nelson sure had an interesting granduncle.

“Ready or not, here I…CHOMP”

Have we met Nelson’s uncle Leon in person, or is he the kind of uncle who only pops up in stories?

Poor Nelson if he has a great uncle Leon, he may live in fear as in panel three….

Curse of the headless Santa …..

Earl’s tale sounds like a plot for a Christmas horror movie….

We always did that with the chocolate Easter Bunny!

maybe

sounds like my Brother

An earie tale….

The curse of the pronouns strikes again. “He bit off his head.” Which he? Which his? Could be the brother bit off the chocolate head OR Evil Chocolate Santa bit off the brother’s head, which would explain why Earl slept with the light on for years. People fling pronouns around far too lightly with no thought for the listener.

Still sleep with the light on. My brothers are gone, but there IS under the bed . . .and don’t even get me started about what might be in the closet. . .

I’m missing something. What is the reason for having a light on?

Leon is Noel spelled backwards.

Wait until you hear what he did with the Christmas Peeps!

“I know it was you Santa, you broke my heart. You broke my heart!”

I feel for you Earl as I had a very sneaky, nasty sister…..

“Santa if you don’t bring me a million dollars, I’ll eat you. In fact let me give you a little taste of what that’ll be like.” And without thinking , Leon bit off Santa’s head, and said: “That’ll teach Santa to make hollow promises!”

The secret was safe.

I don’t think I want to meet him!!!!
