When I was growing up in Puerto Rico, this is precisely what I dreamt of when I thought of snow. I’m in tears right now. Honest to God, tears.
There is enough snow for wampas outside. I better hang an arm to attract one.
The best of two worlds:

The second one gave me full body goosebumps. 
hey y’all,
I just google-imaged the words, “Tolkien Christmas” and came upon these 2 hits:
A parent who has this tradition of reading Tolkien’s “Father Christmas Letters” (NB: Get the hardcover glossy edition!) to his kid has taken the time to create a font for the Goblin Alphabet used by the North Polar Bear in the Father Christmas Letters.

And here’s a model of The Battle of Pelennor, complete with Dead Nazgul King and mount - made entirely of candy!
These candy Lord of the Rings scenes are awesome. That balrog is mighty fearsome.
One should be barefoot.

The t-shirt deal of the day over at RIPT Apparel is the Battlestar Galactica-inspired “Dradis Inc.”

Oh sure…it starts with “ooh” and “ahhh”…and then there’s running…and screaming
Slow clap:D
Saw it’s titled ‘cantina walk’. That’s frakin awesome.
Ordered me one. Thanks for posting about it! 
Finally put my OSSIM “Crom Has Forsaken Me” bumpersticker on my car…right next to the crack in the bumper from a parking lot accidental bumping by an SUV backing into it a couple of years ago.
So appropriate.
