this is why they invented rails.

Merry Saturnalia, everyone!!

is Nick running up from the basement with Gumbo?

Must be Hanna-Barbera stairs.

Merry Christmas everyone.

Looks like a new Freddy Krueger movie! They finally get downstairs only to find all the presents opened and the contents gone. Now THAT would be a true nightmare on Elm St.

As a kid we would celebrate Christmas morning twice. 6 am was the parent mandated earliest allowed descent time without getting into trouble. But who could wait that long. So there was the 4 am stealthy scouting mission to get the lay of the presents that Santa brought.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, ROB!

The Odessa steps. One of the most famous scenes from the silent era of cinema. Different angles & cuts and the steps appear to be going on forever. (Battleship Potemkin, 1925)

that’s the many magical powers of Christmas. ;)

Like going down an up escalator.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!

Merry Christmas everyone

Yeah, especially when the only steps you have are in the basement.

Sounds more like a scene from a horror movie……

Long enough for three dialog exchanges is pretty long.

Merry Christmas

There’s a Chanukah song my family sings, which repeats a verse and fades out the tempo at the end. As a kid, waiting for gifts as that second verse repeats always seemed to me like the song was dragging out its exit.

Running down the up escalator!
