I was okay with it, but "Young Santa" was not approved as a tree topper. Moms have veto power.
My kids decorating our tree. One is putting a hairstyle modeling head on the top. The head has long hair and a beard.

sleep
My dog Khal the German Shorthaired Pointer. Sleeping on a brown leather couch. He is lying on his back with his front paws covering his eyes and his floppy ears flopped down and laying flat showing the insides. His hind legs look ready to spring him into action.

Office view at 1pm today.
Sun is setting over a frozen Kuujusi Inlet (Frobisher Bay) in Iqaluit, Nunavut. Golden rays extend from the centre of the photograph where the sun is and reflect on the blue clouds above and the sea ice below.

A typical middle meal these days. I'm sticking to a 16:8 micro-fasting routine focusing on protein, fibre and lots of fresh vegetables and fruits. I haven't missed junk food at all.

The three spirits:

After sunset. 2:30 p.m. 0°C, low tide, and no sea ice in sight. The ocean should be frozen over and I shouldn't be sweating in my parka.
Khal the German Shorthaired Pointer looks over Tarr Inlet, outside of Iqaluit, Nunavut. The land is snow covered and the tidal flats are muddy and filled with little puddles. A snowy hill lines the horizon where it meets open water. The colour tones of the image are dark brown, grey, light blue and white.

I'm respectful of everyone's rites of observance on this day. I don't wear poppies but I have in the past. I also think the virtue signalling and aggro behaviours around Remembrance Day are whack. I saw one of those "NO XMAS STUFF BEFORE NOV 11" loons post this today. Behold, the poppy tree.
A tree with a star that looks like a military unit flag (I couldn't identify it). The tree is adorned with poppies. It is meant to look like a sparkling tree full of poppies, a remembrance day poppy tree fashioned after an xmas tree.

Prompt: lesson
A black and white ink sketch of a teacher with horn rimmed glasses, pearl earrings, a polka dot dress and a perm. She is pointed at a blackboard that has the word "anaq" spelled out in both Inuktitut syllabics and in roman orthography. Under that it says "means hello!" Since you've read the alt text, the joke here is that anaq is not the Inuktitut word for hello. In fact, it means poop. People often tell newcomers that to make them say "Anaq!" to people for a joke. That is the lesson here, as prompted.

Prompt: skeletal
A black and white ink and pencil sketch of the cemetery in Apex, Nunavut where there is a arch created by the jawbones of the first Bowhead whale hunted by the local Inuit community in over 100 years. It commemorates that event that happened about 15 years ago. The arches overlook Tarr Inlet and mountains are behind. There are small ice floes in the water. There is a gravel pathway to the arches flanked by stone columns, posts and rocks. There is a metalwork gate with an aurora design.

I made it to work. Hope you have a great day.
Selfie of me, with round frame glasses and a ball cap. I'm sipping from a coffee cup that is designed after the original cover for the paperback "Breakfast of Champions" by Kurt Vonnegut Jr.

Prompt: inferno
A black and white ink and pencil sketch of legendary Inuk superhero, Super Shamou. He is standing in the front of the picture pointing a finger up as he says "Bonfires can be fun, but this one is out of control, kids. This is a job for SUPER SHAMOU!" Shamou's costume is like Superman's but without the S. He is a balding man with a moustache. Behind him there is a towering fire of pallets burning. There are five youth around the fire. They are drinking alcohol. One has a jerry can. A couple are on the ground cuddling as the smoke rises high to the sky.

Prompt: rowdy
An eldery Qallunaat (white man) sits at his computer in a computer chair with his back to us. There are klick-klack noises as he types. On his computer screen it reads "Nunatsiaq News" which is the newspaper of the Eastern Arctic. The clock on the wall reads 2am. He is obviously trolling the comment section on the newspaper as he is well known for. A thought bubble near him reads "THAT'LL TEACH 'EM!" Another voice out of picture is yelling "PAUL! TIME FOR BED!" Paul is a grandaddy troll and likes to cause trouble in the comments section in our local newspapers and online forums. He is looking angry at his wife's word balloon. He has glasses, a beard and thinning grey hair in a pony tail.
