    Just offscreen is an R.O.U.S. telling Luann to quit hogging the darn sleeping bag. ;)

    I love how the couch, which looked so small it was almost like a chair, is now big enough to hold 4 people on it.

    .

    This does make for a nice and cozy scene.. I have to admit that.

    HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO EVERYONE!

    What’s illegal these days is having a simple Christmas light display. You either have no lights, or every inch of your house covered with a blinding display.

    This was a pretty cute Christmas strip seeing the DeGroots appreciate the comforts of simplicity and togetherness. I just wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. I’m going on a 2 week trip to Japan so it’s not likely I’ll be keeping track of the strip for a bit. It’s my first international trip and the first Christmas I’m spending away from my family so today’s strip gives me a bittersweet feeling knowing I won’t be spending it with my family. I’m meeting up with a buddy so it’ll still be happy, just different. Anyways, I hope you all have a fun and safe holiday!

    TI wonder what’s happening in the rest of the “Luanniverse”.

    Will Mr. Moneybags get away from his phone and computer to spend time with Tiff?

    Will Stef spend the entire 12 days screwing Kip?

    Will Bets and Gunther be able to avoid Al and Irma?

    Will Toni end up in the hospital from fighting a 4-alarm fire without Brad?

    And most of all—will Bernice take care of Puddles?

    I admit I don’t read the comments when they get very numerous so maybe this has been suggested previously. But could it be that this is just the caretaker’s cottage and there really is a nice, swanky lodge a little further up the road? I worked for a company whose founder had a huge house and a full-sized house by the front gate for his security staff.

    Why did Nancy spend hours decorating when they weren’t going to be home? The plan was always to be at the cabin; it just turned out to be more rustic than they expected.

    The family is united in front of the fire. An ancestral scene capable of making you feel good. This long Christmas arc is special, above all because it involves parents and children in a way that hasn’t happened for many years by putting them together. I’m really liking this arc, simple, jet original,warm and very Christmassy.

    A practical note. You should never go for a drive in the wilderness without taking some “just in case” supplies. Every so often, there are news items about someone whose car broke down or ran off the road and got stuck where there was no cell phone service. At that point having snacks and water in the car is very important. Brad should have known that and when he got coffee for his parents, he should have included granola bars and chips as a bare minimum. As written, they will be unrealistically rescued in the morning or the snow will have not only stopped but melted enough to drive out.

    I hope they’re home for Sunday’s strip. It’s nice that they’re making the best of a fiasco and not berating Frank any more than he has blamed himself, but there’s something unattractive about this middle-class family playing poor and assuring each other that inadequate food, small and grubby accommodations and a chill in the air are nicer than whatever Nancy worked to provide at home — because colored lights, evergreen-scented air, food on hand to make everyone’s nostalgic favorites, space with clean beds are nice, too, and you can be polite to each other under pleasant conditions as well.

    I used to leave seasonal greetings on the few Compuserve fora I frequented, but they’ve mostly disappeared. The problem with comics fora like this is that there’s a new discussion every day and people typically visit it only once (more often if they receive a message, but then typically only to read those messages). But this is probably the strip I hang out on with the most comments and the fewest trolls, so I might as well send greetings to all my friends here. My text is from Greg Lake and Peter Sinfield:

    I wish you a hopeful Christmas

    I wish you a brave new year

    All anguish, pain and sadness

    Leave your heart and let your road be clear
