I think a team up would be the best bet. The Mummy has the wrapping skills, Dracula makes it misty/ foggy to obscure them, the Invisible Man sneaks in to open the door, & the Wolfman + Frankenstein's monster are there carry heavy gifts.

The Thing, 30 days of night, & The Lodge all thrive on characters being isolated by the snowy environment.

For all the slasher villains, I'd get them a blade/ knife sharpener. I know he is a fantasy but he's one of my fav villains, so I'd get Sauron a beautiful jewelry box.

The original Black Christmas, Anna & The Apocalypse, Nosferatu, & The Green Knight are some of my fav horror stories set around Christmas.

I count it. It is a ghost story after all. Scrooge also has to face his own mortality & the consequences of his actions.

Here's hoping it's not 😭🤞🏻

I feel that way sometimes too but don't want to give up. I don't blame folks for retiring now tho.

Oh I bet!

I taught a class with a focus on research ethics & medical ethics last semester. It was wild & I cannot imagine how much more batshit it will be if I teach it again fall 25.

Yup. Looney Tunes introduced me to some opera through "Rabbit of Seville" & "What's Opera, Doc?" Wishbone convinced me to read The Odyssey & Faust at far too young an age 😂
