You all know I love that big crazy barbarian. But you may be asking yourself why I would think it would be fun to have him around during the holiday season. Well let me break it down for you.
In the first place, Conan is always ready for any adventure that involves chopping. So you know he will help you get a really good Christmas tree…
Also, I think that Conan would really rock the Santa look…
Ho ho ho indeed.
And from a guy’s point of view, I bet Conan would give the kinds of gifts that a man really likes to get…
Oh Conan, you are so silly. That isn’t what I meant and you know it. My wife isn’t going to let me keep that. You do like your little jokes…
That’s what I’m talking about. Much better than that ugly sweater with the red reindeer nose that actually lights up that I got from… never mind…
So go ahead. Put a little barbarian in your festivities this year. Liven things up. You don’t have to sip your eggnog from the hollowed out skull of a foe you crushed under your heel. But don’t be afraid to try something new or let your emotions show. Let the wild part that is inside all of us just a little closer to the surface. And live your holiday like you mean it…
Merry Christmas Conan, wherever you are.
Pouring My Art Out 
Hear, Hear!
Another good answer.
By Crom! I will!
Good answer, even though Crom will not be impressed.
I don’t think with all his muscle and axes and swords he’ll be squeezing through the chimney.
No, but he can help pull Santa out if he gets stuck.
Conan’s with me. He says he’s sorry he can’t make it to your house. Maybe next year…
Oh man…
Is your wife going to be disappointed?
She never has been before… ha!!!
If you had Conan round for Christmas, buying prezzies would be a snap!
“Hey, Bob, I’ve got Conan round and he’s told me that if you’re a very good boy this Christmas and very lucky, he’ll let you live! Oh and Bob – Conan says that this year he would like cash, preferentially in unmarked sequential bills. That barbarian eh? What a character. He may be crazy but he’s not stupid!”
I’d like to take him shopping too – I’m bound to get things for half price well in advance of the Xmas sales, if I offer to have Conan introduce a 50% discount of his own (and I’m not talking about cutting coupons either).
Plus he can carry a lot of packages.
And he’d be so great at dealing with those pesky carol singers…
He is just handy to have around. But make sure you leave out two plates of cookies and two glasses of milk on Christmas eve…
Milk? Not a frothing tankard of ale?
He is over 50 now. Watching his weight. It happens to all of us, even barbarians.
Now Santa might like the ale…
BEST. CHRISTMAS. POST. EVER!
Thanks. Hey, weren’t they just talking about you on twitter? I keep seeing comments about stuff I don’t understand. They were talking about hookers and making hook puns, and I just didn’t get it, because I am a computer moron. Nice to know threre is a hook out there.
Now what is subtweeting?
Oh my gosh! I can’t wait to put some Conan in my Christmas! This is so funny! Those stockings look so perfect for my kids. Love it. Nice one Art
. 🙂
Don’t give swords to the kids… that wasn’t my point at all. But I bet the hubby would like one…
My kids are all grown ups. What kind of mom do you think I am?
Oh, right, then yes, give them all swords and axes and spears. With my blessing. At the very least it will be worth it to watch their faces as they open their gifts.
One has a gun collection, another has a samurai sword, and the youngest builds his own light sabers and blasters using import auto parts, old windshield wiper blades, pvc pipe and other “found” goodies. I want to do a post on how Sci/fi and fantasy bond me to my adult kids. Hoped to do it this morning, while stuck at my desk at work, but leaving my glasses at home is making stuff a little difficult. Perhaps later or tomorrow.
I have a few swords and a lot of knives. And a collection of submachine guns of world war 2 that I made out of cardboard glued in layers.
