It's the day before Christmas and all through this blog are 24 comics for reading with 'nog. Or water. Maybe a peppermint tea? Not everybody likes eggnog. I've never even tried the stuff, and I've had fried crickets.

The point is, it's Christmas Eve. It's been a long month or so of shopping and such, and you deserve some time to yourself before Sunday rolls around and reminds you that you may or may not have gotten any time off from work this year. What's the deal with calendars, am I right? Who votes every holiday should have a fixed date allowing for a 4-day weekend?

There are too many digressions in this blog post. Clearly we could both stand to soak up some seasonal stuff and refocus for the new year.

Take a break from your stress/anxiety/excitement/corporate resentment/sleep-deprivation with these 24 Christmas Eve comics:
