Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah……Have A Happy & Blessed Day To All

That doesn’t look like milk!

After his workday was done

He opened a bottle of rum

A four finger serving

He was deserving

For the work of bringing kids fun

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah everyone.

Looks like Santa found the liquor cabinet.

I cannot believe Janis is awake so early! As a matter of fact, I can’t believe grandkids aren’t awake yet!

That’s hilarious!

What about the reindeers?

Better put on some coffee.

Hope this festive season will bring good luck and good health to you and your family. Merry Christmas

what is Janis reaching for ?

Thanks Jimmy! This is a very fun and unique Christmas strip. I really enjoyed it. Merry Christmas to all….

Yay Ssnta, Top Job!

We’ve all heard the saying, “Never give a mouse a cookie”. Well it was derived from the lesser known saying “Never give a jolly man a bottle of good scotch”.

I think Arlo is still sleeping.

I’d drink to that.

There’s reindeer poop’n on your roof right now…

Janis’s ultimate fantasy!

Who’s driving home?

Must have been a rough night!

A shot of VSOP after a hard nights work!

Thanks, Jimmy. A&J is a gift that keeps on giving. Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah Jimmy and to all your followers.

The store Santa was going home……

Give that man a steak. He needs some protein.

Surely his last stop is somewhere in the Pacific, just this side of the international date line.

Santa in his cups. HO-HO-HO!

Merry Christmas goComics friends!

Flying high again. Ozzy.

I’d have offered him a rum-laced coffee and a BLT!

I’d have fixed him some breakfast to go with that myself…..

He looks so tired.

hmmm…. looks like spiked eggnog to me!

Ernest Saves Christmas begins with a montage of older St. Nicks which reminded me of JJ’s depiction.

wow. Santa won’t get boots in a regular shop.

Touch of nog, with southern comfort, time to put the sleigh on cruise control.

Feet are hard to draw (so are hands). Santa’s feet are strikingly good, esp. because they differ from each other. Man, what a good cartoon! Funny and good!

I spent Christmas Day finishing up our Christmas decorations (Chanukah is just my menorah – but that was a separate problem this year).

For some reason we got a late start a few days before Christmas and started with what is the usually last – the main tree in the living room. Normally I do the main tree and 2 of the other trees together as their ornaments are stored together, but this year (and last) husband has bee helping me so the order and positioning of everything is all confused. There is a further problem the past 3 Christmases as husband bought a smallish big screen. This resulted in a reversal of things in our living room – which was careful discussed and researched before he bought he bought the TV. We did not take into account that before we had two “fronts” to the tree – one facing into the living room and one facing the archway entry from the front door. So there is a lack of space showing for ornaments which are to be featured – plus for the past 3 years he has helped me decorate the tree so between the two the ornaments are in random positioning which may or may or not work.

At the same time we do the main tree we also do the small tree in our studio which only has items crafted by us – some are put on the main tree, others on this tree.

I then did our dining room tree. Room is done as an 18th tavern room and should not have tree, but we get annual ornaments from Colonial Williamsburg so we have a tree for same here (with 2 duplicate ornaments going on the main tree).

Plus there are the assorted decorations – toys, figurines, mangers, etc that go out in these rooms.
