my dear, beautiful, splendid fandom-mates:

so i was fucking around with @saltandlimes in about mid-october, as we do, and the subject of parody songs came up. i happened to mention that in my family, christmas carol parodying is a semi-professional sport. “do tell,” she said.

about ten minutes later the words for this were done. about ten minutes after that, i went, “hold on. this needs to be a thing.”

i figured i could handle the music, but i couldn’t do this alone. so i pulled every last shred of nerves together and messaged all my favourite kylux cartoonists. i nearly cried when everyone wanted to join in on this nonsense. i couldn’t believe it. and the art i got just knocked my socks off.

@wyomingnot supplied invaluable vidding advice. @pidgy-draws and @pixiepunch supplied moral support. and my lovely husband put up with my voice acting.

so without further ado, oh god what is this how did i get here i am not good with computer.
