K.A.C. 2025 - T - 14 Days ... [2008]

 

     Two weeks to go! 2008 brings to the movies the launching of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, beginning with Robert Downey, Jr. as IRON MAN. With multi-character storylines continuing and building upon each new film release, Marvel Studios quickly developed a rapid (and sometimes 'rabid') fanbase, of which our humble Curator is a proud member. Of course HIS memories of Marvel and Christmas Misadventures go much further back. It was all explained five years ago in an earlier K.A.C. post:

     And from nine years ago, we featured 5 different 1-hour Marvel characters' Christmas/Yule (we see you, Thor!) Fireplace Videos. After all this time, they're still going strong - you can find them in the link below:

     RUDE! When even the REINDEER are flipping you off for it being cold, it's time for an intervention. Thankfully the Nordic people have dealt with this for centuries and here's what they recommend for beating the Winter Blues - HEY, how did this USEFUL article get in? We run a DISREPUTABLE place here!
