A Very Merry Horrorthony Christmas!

Since 1997 my mom and I have enjoyed the tradition of making our own Christmas stockings. She does killer embroidery work and I know enough basic stitches that I can add my own personal touches. One year I demanded mittens instead of the usual stocking foot; and the year after we made stockings in the shapes of vegetables (I was a tomato, my sister was a carrot, my dad was a bell pepper and my mom was a mushroom).

This year I was searching for something different. I knew without a doubt that JSP's felt stocking would feature Ace Frehley:

2011 KISSmas

But -- I had no idea what would go on mine. How can I encapsulate all of this year's happenings into one comprehensive "snapshot"? Once I thought about my involvement in Horrorthon this year and the pride I take in my writing *pats self on back* I knew what I had to do:

Zombies attacking the North Pole!

... that poor, out-of-place penguin. Every time I see the blood trickling out of its helpless mouth I can't help but giggle. Notice how the decapitated teddy bear adds a layer of terror to this priceless image.
