Well – it’s been a full on week! The queer art and craft market was an absolute delight, and I can’t thank the stall holders enough for their loveliness, and amazing skills. We also go our Kids Book funded! (you still have a week left to preorder, and if we reach the stretch goal they’ll be translating two of the books!)
Also – here’s the ukulele chords for my re-writing of Jingle Bell Rock (please record yourselves, I’d love to hear it!!)

And here’s my very earnest, badly played and off-tune version:

Aaaah this is amazing!
Aw, this just made me smile more genuinely than I have for the past couple days. Being “home” for the holidays is rough. I needed this right now. Thanks.
I’ll just leave this here before I chicken out XD

HOLY. SHIT. This is amazing!!!!!!! <3 <3 <3
This is wonderful, thank you so much! I loved the song, but as non-Anglophone didn’t hear the melody as I read it.
And thank you for the comic, Sam!
Oh, of course! Tab from Discord Comics made this which may help:
Yes, sorry I was unclear. I listened to the song recorded by Tab and it was so heartwarming. ♡
ohhh yes, I see – sorry!
I really needed this today so thanks.
I loved both your version and Tab’s! What a sweet, loving song. Thank you and keep up the good work!
