#scott's12daysofchristmas

A little story about me as a kid. Actually, it's sorta a Christmas story and sorta a Halloween story.

I love both holidays very very much. Like they're pretty well tied for first place, but I guess Christmas is in first place by like *almost pinches fingers together* that much.

Anyway, I love both holidays, and I decided when I was like really little, maybe like 5 or 6, that I would combine both holidays into one. How? Simple enough for a little munchkin like me. I would go as the Grinch for Halloween.

I love the 1966 cartoon. To me, that's the best version of the story. It's definitely a tradition for me to watch it every Christmas season. Heck, I can recite the whole cartoon by memory! Songs and all!

And you're in luck, gang. My momma still has a photo of me when I dressed as the Grinch for Halloween. I don't know why it's black and white though. It just is. See below!

2 bits of fan art!

Honestly, I couldn't decide which of these things I wanted to do, so you're getting them all!

The first is a poll because I'm really curious:

The second and third things are below the cut.

For the Star Wars fans out there, especially the Mandalorian fans, there's a really cool video that blends the Carol of the Bells with the Mandalorian theme. Totally worth the listen! It's epic! And last but not least is my all time favorite Christmas song (that has no words): the Trans-Siberian Orchestra Christmas/Sarajevo 12/24!

More fan art! Sorta kinda not really but I'm still saying it is.

First of all, I'm not the only Ant-Man there's fan art for, did you know that? Hank and Janet have fan art too! See? Like this! A comic!

((It's fan art to him so just roll with it.))

Isn't it cool? And I've totally done this before, hang out in a Christmas tree. And it really is unlike any other view I've ever experienced before.

Second on the docket is one of my favorites. An actual Ant-Man Christmas sweater!!

✨A poll!✨

Okay okay, here me out though! I'm on a mission. I wanna know which version of White Christmas (the song not the movie, of course) is the best.

One of my momma's favorite Christmas movies is White Christmas, and it's one of mine and Sadie's too. I mean, it's a classic! But we're kinda at odds about the best version of the song.

Momma likes the original with Bing Crosby the best and if my grandparents were around, they would say they do too. But Sadie and I say The Drifters' version is the best (the one from Home Alone).

Not sure? Take a listen before voting. See below.

A movie clip from one of my favorite Christmas movies:

The Muppet Christmas Carol!

Back in the day, it was a tradition for me and Sadie to watch the movie on VHS I know I know that's so old, whatever sometime while we were on Christmas break. We'd eat popcorn and M&Ms and have soda like we were in the theater, and we'd turn off all the lights and huddle under blankets and have our own little movie party.

A fun song to kick off this celebration!

This totally fits how I view Christmas! This song was made for me! And people like me! I mean,

Well I try-y-y-y spreading the Christmas cheer But nobody wants to hear it 'til December But I've waited up all year No, they don't understand And it's driving me mad 'Cause this is the greatest season Why not make it last?

THAT'S SO ME!

And since I love Christmas lights, this is the best way to enjoy the song!
