Merry Christmas! (Belatedly)

*flop* And, my yearly Christmas image is done. It's a fairly simple one, so I have no idea why finishing it was like pulling teeth.

Now, on to fandom_stocking!

Otherwise, it's been a great Christmas. I got to see the family, visited some friends, started my littlest cousin on model horse collecting (mwahaha), and even got an extra day off work. Gift-wise, I'm absolutely rolling in movies to re-watch now that I either finally own them or finally own them on DVD: Guardians of the Galaxy, Miracle of the White Stallions, Newsies, the 90's TMNT movies, Anastasia, and the anime Baccano!. Plus some manga, fuzzy socks, fuzzy shirts, and an adorable children's book I requested for... research purposes... yeah, interest in illustration and all that, you know. (Plus, I'm amused that the main character is named Yukio.)

*laughs* Hey, I was in my twenties when I got a copy of childhood favorite "The Dragon Takes a Wife". :) (With the beautiful original artwork--not the awful modernist stuff they replaced it with in a reprint.)

And agreed with "on to Fandom Stocking". ...Though I'm thinking I should also really try to finish the last day of my AFO review, for Reasons. ;)

I can completely understand that too. A few years ago, I went on a search for older printings of Marguerite Henry's horse books that included the gorgeous, full color Wesley Dennis paintings I remembered from my childhood readings.

*laughs* Well, I, at least, remain curious about it ;)
