**Plant** already knows this from a past MMP but I have one of the deluxe versions of the “Chickentivity” and went one step further – I had a friend make me a few custom pieces. My favorites are the Little Chicken Drummer Boy and a Chicken Roman Soldier with half-drawn sword to lurk in the background.

It’s a big, wide, wonderful world we live in, ain’t it? 🆒

(I REALLY like the robot scene with the famous 'bots–Bender, et al. Thanks, Mr. Meacham! Ho, ho, ho!)

I just think it’s sad the way Randall Munroe sold out and began marketing [xkcd nativity sets](http://blog.consumercrafts.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/DIY-nativity-set-ornaments-Crafts-Unleashed-2.jpg).

I like how there are rows of pictures of penguin nativities and then a random dude’s face. How the heck was that page tagged?! 😛

Go with your dreams. The offer of Opus stands. 😃
