Stocking surprise

It’s not always a good thing to find surprises in your stockings.

You need to be careful of the things you try to hold on to. You could be grasping at the wrong thing!

A pair of thanks

Christmas packages from home are the ultimate gift for a missionary. It doesn't even matter, really, what's in them. Just the fact that you got a package is AWESOME.

It's not to late to send something to your local missionaries!

Christmas surprises not so much

Special doubleheader: Hung with care; dnt txt n fly

Tomorrow Beckstrom Buzz starts retelling the story of the Nativity, so as a special bonus -- a Christmas present, if you will -- I'm adding a special Sunday edition of the Monday Sketchbook in addition to our regularly scheduled cartoon.

Thank you for your patience.

You can see my contribution to the conversation here.

Travel safely this holiday season, whatever mode of transportation you use!

Darn those stockings!

Actually, my guess would be that they've had this request many times over.
