A Wooly NifNaks Christmas in Arkham

Posted by Nifer Fahrion in Untagged 

Halloween is over and Thanksgiving is almost here which means it's time for evergreen trees, mistletoe, mulled wine, cookies, stockings, Santa, The Flying Spaghetti Monster, and Cthulhu!

What you didn't know that the Flying Spaghetti Monster and Cthulhu were part of Christmas!?! Don't tell me you don't know about the great Arkham tree disappearance!

The Great Arkham Christmas Tree Disappearance

It was a cold and blistery morning in Arkham. The snow was almost gray and it whipped through the streets like angry ghosts blown by a wind so fierce it felt like the houses couldn't stand much more. That morning every citizen in Arkham awoke to an emptiness where their joyful Christmas tree should have been. If it had just been one family's tree it would have been sad, if their neighbor's trees were gone too it would have been tragic, but it was not just one tree or a dozen trees, every single christmas tree in Arkham was missing—and that is enough to chill any man or woman to the bone!

Even more horrifying was what the town residents didn't know. All the trees had been stolen in the middle of the night by members of an insane cult. The cult members snuck into every home in Arkham and hauled the trees to their secret lair. The trees and the joy they contained were set to be burned in a great bonfire in order to call forth their great god Cthulhu.

Then with the stars shining down, as the cultists began thier great rite, a great tentacled mass came swooping down from the Heavens. It was the Flying Spaghetti Monster! And he was here to save the day! The tentacles whipped out and snatched each and every evil cultist before they could run away. Pirates then came out of nowhere, chained the cultists in leg irons and carted them off.

The Flying Spaghetti Monster wasn't done however for Arkham's homes were still missing their trees. So with just the flick of a spaghetti tentacle, a tree materialized in every home in Arkham, and every tree was even bigger and more beautiful than before!

To celebrate this great occasion every family in Arkham decorates their Christmas trees with Cthulhu heads and Flying Spaghetti Monsters !



Celebrate just like families in Arkham do!
You too can join in and celebrate by getting your very own Cthulhu ornament, FSM ornament, or FSM treetopper! Each ornament is a handmade using felted wool exactly how the original Arkham ornaments are traditionally made.

I like it, it's cute -- but the "as the cultists began there great" should be "their great."

Love the ornaments, too!

Everyone loves FSM, but there's no way Cthulhu goes down in this fight. No Way.

Has the Grinch joined Cthlulu to further its dreadful plans for humanity and the hoidays?

Chas, the FSM and the dreaming dead god did not go head-to-head, let alone noodle to tentacle, in this story. He just takes on the cultists. If you know anything about Cthulu, you'll know he (it) doesn't give a nightgaunt's ass about his followers. The invisible pink unicorn could run 'em all through and dump the batrachian lot of them into Russell's teapot, for all Cthulu cares.

This is not a Batman vs Superman, Godzilla vs King Kong comic book scenario. This is a comforting holiday tale to be shared with small children on cold winter nights as you bask in the warmth of a burning creche.
