No matter what you do or do not celebrate this time of year, always remember, when it comes to giant straw goats we are united together in always choosing arson.

Unimaginable, unimaginable
[Image ID: A digital bust painting of a wood duck against a dark background. The duck depicted is a drake in breeding plumage, his head an iridescent dark green with white stripes. His neck is reddish-brown, leading to white spotting which then becomes the white feathers of his belly. His wings are tucked behind himself, and the body feathers covering his wings are golden. His beak and eye are both red.
He is shown in a warm, golden lighting with high contrast, as if he were standing near a sunset. The light reflects off his feathers slightly, giving him the appearance of glowing against the dark background. He is staring at the viewer. End description.]
