This one’s for Tom Goering (aka NavyCS) at the Navy Blog for suggesting it and all the men and women in the Armed Forces who may be wondering if Santa will find them this year. Don’t worry, if you can land on a rooftop you can land anywhere.

BTW, Tom encourages us to support our folks in the military with a donation to the USO. It’s a great idea so here’s the link if you’re interested: Donate to USO

About the Twelve Cartoons of Christmas: In what has become a Christmas tradition for me, each year I challenge myself to come up with twelve Christmas cartoons beginning on December 1 and ending with a Christmas card to my readers on December 25.

So if you’ve got an idea, just leave a comment below and maybe I’ll use it (and give you full recognition, of course).
