Goodbye and Good Riddance 2010: Don't Let the Door Hit Ya...
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Oh, and 2010? We have a few words for you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The movie A Christmas Story??
There's a movie called that?
Seriously, I hadn't quite registered that. I think my brain never saw the capitals.
I think the clip probably works better with context. But leg lamp references do make a little more sense to me now.

My sister-in-law got my brother leg-lamp pajamas this year. The shirt says "It's a major award." I wish I was going to be here when he opens them. Last year I got him a Red Ryder BB gun.
