a very merry christmas!

So my "Merry Christmas" post may be a tad bit late... a little over a month to be exact. But HEY, Christmas year round is a thing, no? Ok well maybe not but it just doesn't feel right to end the year 2013 with no Christmas so here goes:

Some of the fun holiday festivities that went down...

:: jacebear got artsy and made his own christmas cards for family ::
