Come on Archon, you know you want to succumb to our holiday cheer.  All the cool kids are doing it.

Oh, come on, you could be a dark Christmas spirit. . . like the Archon of Christmas Future.  That would be creepy.

That's why I did a shout out for the other December holiday--Hanukah.

I wanted something creative, and couldn't really think of anything. Then I remembered how Hanukah is sometimes spelled Chanukah, and thought I would play off of that. Plus, two of my characters in my novel are pyromaniacs so thus I also am currently obsessed with fire. Remorr would be all about lighting a menorah (and everything else around it) on fire. And Aive would then promptly try to burn herself with it.  :P  Ah, Hanukah. The true pyromaniacs holiday.

I'm not changing my avatar, though. Much too complicated. And then I wouldn't even recognize my own posts.

Edit: Archon, you could be something Kwanzaa related. Then we'll have all the holidays.  ;)
