Shot of the day 353: KISSmas Cheer N Fear

Shot with iphone, click to enlarge.

A bittersweet time at the annual Mendez Xmas party which usually takes place the weekend before Christmas day. We've been invited many times over the years and it's always a great gathering of friends all squished in with Mike's wide array of toys and action figures and Rock Band. This year was Dickensian; It was the first year Remy got to tag along and he seemed to be warmly welcomed by the crew, many of whom haven't had the pleasure of meeting the lil Plissken; it was also a slightly sad affair since many of our friends were missing for one personal reason or another. But, when we all thought the Holiday soiree staple wasn't going to happen, Mike came through at the last moment and there we were, rocking out with Remy on Drums with some Black Sabbath, exchanging Secret Santa gifts (I had Green and got him his FAVORITE MOVIE) and keeping Remmers away from the walls of toys that were just begging to go in him maw, like this set of KISS figures next to a scale little boy ghost from Mike's fantastic THE GRAVEDANCERS (lower left side of frame). Every time I see that little smiling fucker it gives me chills.

Despite the lack of vegan goodies (oh well) it was a great time like always and glad Remy was warmy greeted by the Fright Clubbers. Can't wait for next year's.
