The lengths I go through to keep this place festive. If you haven’t noticed, X-E’s main page is now engulfed in the Thanksgiving spirit — something that’s never really engulfed me personally, but dammit, let’s give it a shot. Longtime readers probably know that Christmas is more of my thing, but if there’s one thing I learned this past Halloween, it’s not to start the festivities too early. All that said, I think you’ll really enjoy what’s in store for this month. I honestly believe that what will be some of the best articles in X-E history are on deck for the coming weeks, and as we grow closer and closer to December, we’re looking at two full months of really fun stuff. Then, in January, I die from exhaustion and swear off all holidays in general forevermore. Enjoy it while you can!
Oh, and sorry to all of the readers outside the States. I know, I know — these changes can’t possibly do much for ya. Don’t worry…the articles will.
To celebrate, there’s been eight new commercials posted on the main page, ranging from Bubble Tape’s classic “For You – Not Them” ad to one of my favorite action figures of all time, the Masters of the Universe “Modulok” figure. (I did a piece on him for UGO last year — click here) Course, it wouldn’t be a new season on X-E without an article to usher it in, sooo….
Some of you might remember “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving” — the networks very rarely broadcast Thanksgiving specials these days, but trust me, it’s a good one. The money scene features Snoopy, Charlie Brown and Linus doing their best to cook the Peanuts gang a Thanksgiving feast using nothing more than some bread, popcorn, and loads of jelly beans. I’ve been intrigued with the holy offering since childhood, and finally decided that it was time to recreate Charlie Brown’s Thanksgiving. When the paddywagon comes, “somebody had to do it” is my only excuse. Enjoy.
By the way, this ol’ blog turned “1″ last month. Totally forgot to buy it a present. Here’s what was going on a year ago. Spongebob live, baby.

A meal fit for a king. That cartoon was always a yearly favorite of mine, second only to the Garfield Christmas special. Please tell me we’re going to see an article devoted to that.
