Final Christmas post! Man – I am WORN OUT from holiday baking and crafting. Does anyone else get exhausted just from being themselves? I’m sure there’s some life-altering epiphanies I could have about that, but we’ll save those for the new year.
Anyway, this is a craft I worked on for about a year. It is another example of not being able to find what I wanted, so I made it myself. I call it my nerd advent calendar. I am very proud of this thing, so I’m just gonna post a bunch of pictures of it. Hopefully, others find it fun, too!
Basic Layout
First, I have the basic layout for the start of December. After that you can see the end result you get on Christmas Eve. I actually have one more removable item I need to come up with, but 23 out of 24 done ain’t bad!
In case it’s easier to read this way, I have typed out the poem:
‘Twas the night before Christmas
When all through the mansion
Not a superhero was stirring
Across the multiverse expansion.
Infinity stones were hidden
By the chimney with care,
In hopes that of Thanos
No one had to beware.
Santas from DC to Star Wars
Brought in plenty of loot,
That they gathered underneath
The ornamented Groot.
On the roof was Saint-3PO
Who called reindeers by name,
“On, R2! On, DeLorean!
Speeds of 88 miles we must gain!”
Batman and Deadpool were seen
Off rolling their eyes
Preferring to this celebration
A violent demise.
All the while Picard observed
As the holiday sage,
Saying, “Merry Christmas to all,
And to all…engage!”
