TCY, mymclife, Ivano M, and Mr. Plank

We'll be with our blood-related family members over the next day and a half, but wanted to take the time to send out this holiday card to our extended family before we take a short leave. Couldn't ask for a better group of readers than the ones we have here-- your support and passion is what drives us to keep coming back every single day.

More pictures from our night together after the jump.

An awkward Christmas Dance photo Patrick Marleau would be proud of

Ivan's faces are perennial classics

A grueling Scrabble game against Slappy-- trust us, he ain't no dummy

Mistletoe brings all of us a little bit closer this time of year

We'll be back on the 26th with our normal coverage. Have a great couple days here folks.

Happy holidays.
