“Wow! Thanks, Santa Claus! Even though it’s not the Red Ryder tennis ball launcher I asked you for, I’m sure I’ll have many fun hours sitting in this wagon waiting for someone to pull me.”

This evening marks the first night of Hanukkah, the Jewish festival of lights, lasting for eight days to commemorate the Hanukkah miracle, in which one kid snagged the entire pot of carrot coins by spinning gimmel eight times in a row.

A Very Maru Christmas

December 25, 2024December 25, 2024Not That Mike The Other Mike5 Comments

This Christmas, Maru gets a visit from a Santa Claus powered by artificial intelligence, which means that it runs hopelessly in circles wasting electricity until a human bails it out. Maru, Hana and Kitten Miri give the jolly old bot a chilly reception, until they see what he brought them.

Merry Christmas to Andrew Y. and all of Cutetropolis.
