Preview of December

Hey, everyone!

So, I have no specific topic to feature in today's blog because I'm going to be using this space to share with you some of the surprises that I have planned for the month of December.  After all, December is going to be a month filled with Christmas magic.

Yes...maybe you'll even see some of Sabrina's Christmas Magic during the month of December!

When I used to do A POP CULTURE ADDICT'S GUIDE TO LIFE, every year in the month of December, I would do something called the POP CULTURE ADDICT ADVENT CALENDAR, where I would write 25 different entries based around the holiday season.  It was fun when I was still doing the blog, but the problem is that I got so burned out on pop culture that I ran out of ideas.

But in the world of Archie comics?  They have been doing Christmas stories in Archie comics since the 1940s.  And since my collection of Archie comics is very large, I have thousands of Christmas comics that that I can spotlight in this blog.

So, tomorrow will kick off Day #1 of the PEP CULTURE ADVENT CALENDAR!

I knew you'd be excited!

So, what can you expect to see in this advent calendar?  Well, lots of Archie and lots of Christmas stories.  You'll meet special Christmas characters such as Jingles the Elf, the Sugar Plum Faery, and even Santa Claus!

You will be able to read some of my favourite Christmas stories ever written in the world of Archie comics.  And while I will be providing some spoilers in these entries, I will always start off with crediting the source of these stories so that if you don't want to be spoiled, you can track down the comic book so you can read the story yourself.

Archie comics also featured comic books that really stayed true to the spirit of what Christmas represents, such as in this special edition comic book released by Spire Christian Comics.  And yes, there may be a couple of stories that have some reference to what the season is really all about. 

Of course, that won't mean that I will avoid the comics that made me burst out into belly laughs when I was a kid.  I plan to feature a lot of comics that will make you laugh, chuckle, chortle, and spit out your egg nog all over the screen. 

And there are also some stories that have a lot of warmth and heart to them.  Stories that will restore your faith in humanity.  Stories that will cause the coldest of Scrooges to warm their hearts.  Stories that have a happy ending like all of those Hallmark holiday films.  Believe me, I'll feature a lot of those stories as well.

So, I hope that you will stay tuned.  We're going to have a lot of fun this Christmas!  :)
