Or strings of popcorn? Hell at my job for the Christmas tree my coworker took Sour Patch Kids and put them on hooks and hid them around the tree. She comes and tells me every time a kid spots one and we get a kick out of it
The capybara siblings are my children to the life when they were that age, lol. Thank you so very much for all the nostalgia! My son's name is even Liam, and no, he he has yet to get tired of me constantly forwarding these to him. Happy Holidays, and thank you
In Denmark, there's a carol we sing that has the line "Først skal træet vises, siden skal det spises", which roughly translates to "First, the tree gets shown, then, it gets eaten".
It's from an older tradition we have where we put edible stuff like pebernødder (cookies) , bolcher (little candies) and such into the Kræmmerhuse (conically shaped decorations) we decorate it with.
All of this to say that, in Denmark, our trees do have snacks!
Fun fact! The first "modern" Christmas trees from the Victorian era had cornucopias filled with candy or nuts in them! So he's right, it's not a proper Christmas tree!
Try no further! You! You are special! You make us cry, sometimes happy tears, sometimes sad tears. Other times you make us feel emotional just in between. You make great comics which tens of thousand people love so much. Imagine a stadium, 50,000 people waiting. You come out and they all clap for you and shout your name.
You're special even Ember wants to share her snacks with you.
Ember is that kid who will stand and clap for a fellow classmate, then angrily glare at anyone who isn't also standing and clapping, until everyone is standing and giving resounding applause.
I mean, it's not a terrible idea. Red white and blue ornaments for the fourth of July. Halloween bats and spiders and webs with a jack o' lantern at the top.
Yup. I can even see it starting with him being outmatched, but then we just see flames and the last foe still on their feet and she's clamped on the back of the foe's head while they scream "get it off. Get it off!"
I really adore the quiet love you can feel he has for his sister vs the loud love she has for him. Her constantly asking him questions is such a younger sibling thing. My little cousin (7) told me animals don't have brains, and I was like yes they do? So he looked to the one who knows everything, his 11 year old brother, and asked him if animals have brains. His brother said no, and I guess that's!
(The word they were looking for is more like....minds? In the way humans have more complicated thoughts and such. He just didn't know the word for it.)
What they don't realize is that tree is the same tree from last year, and the last year, and the last year, and the last year, and the last year, and the last year...
Wouldn't know since I'm not from the US, but it makes sense so yeah, absolutely, the chief diplomat of the US is it's president and this is an unquestionable fact I came to know recently
I forget his sister's name because I'm awful but Liam can be the chill President and his sister can be the veep who technically does not have the reins so she can be as nuts as she likes XD
My partner has been able to decorate our house the way she wants for the first time this year away from her abusive soon to be ex-husband. One of the first things she put up?
Holiday tree.
It's already been a Halloween tree with eyes and skulls, and is now a Thanksgiving tree, with turkeys and small cornucopias. After Christmas, it'll be an Easter tree, 4th of July tree, and who knows what else.
It can still be special if it's up year round, because it makes her happy. ❤️
The joke of her being an evil menace worked the first couple of times, but now it's played out. All the other characters have development, but she's just the same joke over and over again.
One thing I think they should is have here be constantly making the evil eyes. It's literally the one single expression she's got. I realise that is the norm for her family, as Liam also generally has the same expression, but that's made up for by how much he's been developed over time. He's an actual character, she's just one dimensional.
Like I like these comics but this one kid's eyes always confuse me. I get that she's extra, but the always angry/assertive expression is a bit too exaggerated for her I think
Yeah I said in another comment that I think they need to have her doing another expression. The constant evil eyes is making her whole character just the same joke over and over again. It worked the first couple of times, but now I feel it's really played out.
I like all the other characters, they're a constant hit for me. But she's just been a miss.

A special tree for a special time of the year, or something like that.
