’Twas the Week Before Christmas at the Rude Dude Studio
’Twas the week before Christmas, and all through the studio,
Not a creature was stirring… except maybe a gremlin or two.
The boxes were stacked by the packing tables with care,
In hopes that USPS soon would be there.
Jaynelle was packing with tape in her hair,
Doing the work of three humans with grit and good flair.
Lynn had flown off for the holidays, well-earned and overdue,
So it’s “next crew up” energy powering us through.
Brandon flew home from Florida, sun still in tow,
Palm trees for desert skies and a steady warm glow.
No snow on the ground, just cacti and cheer,
Winter in Arizona feels a little… unclear.
Jessica sketched quietly, letting new Nexus worlds grow,
While dog hair floated freely—no surface was spared, we know.
If you got a fuzzy package… just know you’re still loved,
That’s studio seasoning, sent straight from above.
The Dude was at his drawing board, calm as can be,
Sending holiday greetings and sketching with glee.
Ink flowed, pages filled, transmissions went out,
“Incoming holiday message!”—no room left for doubt.
USA packages? Out the door, they flew.
International orders? Processing now; thank you for your patience too.
The gremlins were banished (mostly… we think),
By teamwork, caffeine, and not overthinking the brink.
Only FIVE figure drawing books remain in the stack,
Before they vanish again—then it’s “sold out” right back.
And thanks to you, a big box packed tight with care,
Is heading to the troops—art, joy, and gratitude to share.
We’re close to the finish line, but not done just yet,
So if you’ve got a moment (no pressure, no debt):
Like and share the shop, the YouTube videos and streams,
Help us chase that 10K view average dream.
Because every click, comment, and friendly share
Keeps this little studio buzzing with hope in the air.
You’re helping us finish the mailing, save Christmas, and more—
We truly couldn’t do this without you, that’s for sure.
Happy Holidays from our messy, heartfelt crew
To every single one of you.
Now back to packing we go… tape, dog hair, and cheer—
Same time, same place, next livestream right here 🎄✨
