  1. Pustules serve as an unpleasant, but necessary visual warning all is not well in the body. It is one of the indicators of diseases like chickenpox or smallpox. Smallpox killed between 300-500 million people just in the 20th century.

    It depends.
  3. It will certainly be like waiting till next year.

    What could be better than a portal to visit Nickolass and the elves anytime they want to? Nothing at all. It's the best present of all and right in their new home. Multiple Santas on multiple alternate Earths. It's a concept not new to our gang, but now they are seeing their version and another in person and the new one has a big problem which he's expended a lot of skwish to attract the attention of one of his kind to help. Whatever is going on involves Christmas gift production and is very bad. Nickalus has the best possible problem solvers now.
  6. Luscious can mean sexually attractive.

    Our group is smart enough to realize coping with this strange future may be beyond their ability and nature to adapt to in the way Mablin had planned. What will be plan B? There are cross plots going on over the dragon's remains. We know one group is the mine owners, but the other group is still hidden and represent a danger.

    The gift giver in the song was both generous and well to do. The cost for those gifts this year would be over $201,000.
  14. Also orange, green, pink and white, and salmon. Poinsettias don't have seeds. They grow from cuttings.

    "Mah-jeek everywhere." Even in the mysterious new cellar. Is this Lugh's Christmas present to the guys?
  17. Merry Christmas to you! It's just warm and wet here.
  18. My two favorites are the 1951 version with Alastair Sim and the 1938 with Reginald Owen. I have to watch both or it's just not Christmas.
  19. The legend of the poinsettia is a young peasant girl in Mexico was too poor to afford a Christmas gift to offer in celebration of the birth of Christ at the church and picked some roadside weeds as her humble gift. When she arrived, the 'weeds' bloomed into colorful flowers.
  20. What most of us consider the flower part of a poinsettia are really bracts surrounding the small, inconsequential flowers. In their native growing areas of Mexico and Central America, these are flowering shrubs and can grow as high as ten feet.
  21. The name comes from Joel Roberts Poinsett, the first United States Minister to Mexico.
  22. When Jubal says hesitantly he loves everything about it, it's clear to us Lucas is part of the everything he has in mind.

    It was the juvenile wolf, Kane.
