Happy Holidays, everyone! I hope you like this strip. It was really fun to draw and color, even though that tree took a while! My family and I don’t normally do that much to celebrate Christmas. We just decorate our tree, open presents, and that’s it. I’d say our most prevalent holiday tradition is I usually get up very early (which is super rare for me as I can normally NEVER wake up in the morning) and then annoy my parents until they wake up and are coherent enough to supervise the Opening of the Presents. What holidays do you guys celebrate? What are your holiday traditions?

Haha! Funny! No, I don't think I've been this excited over groceries-well maybe I have a couple of times.... hey, this is the strip we saw you make right, Emma? Miss L.S.P 3/30/12 reply Yep, it's one of the ones you saw me draw! Emma 10/8/12 reply   OMG!!!! hahahahahahahahahah!!!! (x100) that is really funny.... Miss L.S.P 3/16/12 reply Thank you!! Emma 10/8/12 reply   Wow Emma..... that tree is amazing!!! Ginny Weasley fan 12/29/11 reply Thank you so much! Emma 12/30/11 reply   Merry Christmas Emma. Love the drawing. Believe it or not I really like how you drew that chair. They're not always easy to get right. I've got my own Christmas strip at if you want to check it out. Denny 12/28/11 reply Thanks, Denny! I had a lot of fun with the chair, and I'm proud of how it turned out. Would you mind reposting the link to your comic? Sometimes hyperlinks don't go through because of some anti-spam code we have in the site. I'd love to see your comic! Emma 12/28/11 reply   Wow Emma, that christmas tree is AMAZING! 12/28/11 reply Thank you so much! I worked really hard on it because it was the focal point... Emma 12/28/11 reply   do u use watercolours!!!???? Maggie 12/28/11 reply Not for this comic in particular, no! Emma 12/30/11 reply   Emma how did you make such a cool website? Sunny 12/27/11 reply My dad programmed it for me, as that's his profession! :) Are you interested in computer programming? Emma 12/27/11 reply Yes! I have my own comics called Cupcake Comics I was thinking of making a website for them :D Sunny 12/30/11 reply   Wait, WHAT?!? Chapel is wearing SOCKS! the bare footed one is swearing socks! the end of the world is nigh! (j/k) Merry Christmas everyone. ^^ Dr. Taxil Necrobane 12/24/11 reply Well, that's a start for somebody who barely wears shoes................. Miss L.S.P 12/24/11 reply Yep, socks! She's only wearing them to get into the festive spirit, though, because she thought just the Santa hat wasn't quite enough. Emma 12/24/11 reply I also hate socks..... for someone who's cartwheeling and doing handstands and yoga and such, they are not the most desirable kind of footwear.... and I should probably have realised that by now as my toes have had a really bad year, so to speak. Ginny Weasley fan 12/27/11 reply   Aww..... that's a really nice picture you drew Emma! Happy Holidays! Miss L.S.P 12/24/11 reply Thanks so much! Hope you have a great one. :) Emma 12/24/11 reply   The tree looks very realistic! I love it! 12/24/11 reply Thanks so much! I worked really hard on it, so I'm glad you like the end result. Emma 12/24/11 reply   Happy Holidays Emma!!! ^_^ Rocheal 12/23/11 reply Thanks! You too! :) Emma 12/24/11 reply   Awwwwww......... I agree that putting the star on top is fun, but it's actually kind of an embarrasing experience because it's hard for me to reach it. I love the renewed appearence of rupert, by the way. This is the first time he's shown up in a while. Love it!!!! Ginny Weasley fan 12/23/11 reply Oh, and I celebrate Christmas by the way. Emma, have you ever seen the cartoon Calvin and Hobbes? In some ways it's very much like Peanuts. Our family has a Christmas Eve party, then in the morning we open presents and eat bagels. My friend and I also have our own little 'tradition'- we always get a cough or cold on Christmas and New Year's. Chapel is standing on a chair and wearing socks.... are you sure that's safe??? Ginny Weasley fan 12/23/11 reply I LOVE CALVIN AND HOBBES!!! 12/24/11 reply YAYYYYYYYYYYY! I hoped someone would remember good old Calvin. There are not many of us Calvin and Hobbes lovers left out there, though, sadly. Ginny Weasley fan 12/24/11 reply Oh, and happy holidays everybody! Ginny Weasley fan 12/24/11 reply You too! Emma 12/24/11 reply Happy Holidays, happy holidays! it's me, miss stupid, and i've written a story that totally rocks!!! but it needs some editing. great tree...don't you color it on the computer? miss stupid 12/28/11 reply Oh, you're wrong about that! TONS of people in the comic book world love Calvin and Hobbes. Its popularity hasn't waned in the least. Emma 12/24/11 reply Oh. Ginny Weasley fan 12/25/11 reply That's good. Ginny Weasley fan 12/25/11 reply I always have to get a chair to reach it, too! Emma 12/24/11 reply Well, even if I stand on a chair it almost isn't enough, I'm only four foot seven. This year our tree had no star because my dad couldn't POSSIBLY be bothered to get the darn chair and stand on the thing. I actually got it on at one point but it was crooked, so I took it off.... and it never went on again. Everyone in my family was probably hoping the other would do it and waiting for the last possible moment...... Ginny Weasley fan 12/27/11 reply Ah, I see. 4'7" isn't that short for your age, though. I'm almost 15 and not even 5 feet yet. When we went on our class trip to Spain, the shopkeepers kept saying to my friends, "Take care of your younger sister now!" Emma 12/27/11 reply Ohhhhhh that's really sad! There's a kid in my grade who is the tallest person of his age I've ever seen- I swear he must be almost a foot taller than I am! In second grade (oh my that's already two years ago!) though I was the second shortest in my class...... right next to my friend who must still be the smallest!!! Ginny Weasley fan 12/27/11 reply
