Not the town in Oklahoma, Missouri or West Virginia

Hmmm...still not Xmas yet, eh?

And so it goes, today's Daily Shirt is another of the species Holidayus characterus, a seasonal entity that only makes an appearance for short periods of time and under certain cultural conditions.

1) They only appear from about late November through December.

2) They only appear on television screens; they are never seen 'in person' (as they aren't actually 'persons' - duh!)

3) They require the existence of a market based economy; without which, desire for goods cannot be created, thus undermining the entire genus of Holidayus.

4) Their cultural impact derives from nothing more profound than familiarity and habit. Some of these creatures go back decades, and require that exposure to them starts young, so as to appeal to multiple generations.

These are just a few of the characteristics of the species. More specific species modifiers (like whether they melt when exposed to heat, or if they leave giant, often comically proportioned footprints) will be specific to the specimen.

Here it is...
