12 Days of Cthulhumas: Day 2

On the second day of Cthulhumas Tor.com gave to me...
Yule horror spawned,
And Old Ones wrought in effigy.

Yule horror #1: 10 “Yule Horror” holiday cards
Made by sighcographics: “This set of 10 5x7 holiday greeting cards includes envelopes and features original artwork created just for this set, as well as a holiday-themed poem by H.P. Lovecraft himself. This poem was first published in Weird Tales magazine in December of 1926 [...] The front of the card depicts cultists gathering for an unholy Yuletide rite beyond the frightening visage of Cthulhu himself, as well as the first stanza of the poem [...] The remaining two stanzas of the poem are printed inside the card, along with more original artwork.”

Yule horror #2: Crocheted Tentacle stocking/ sock/ armwarmer
Made by creeplings: “Handcrafted from the finest 100% acrylic yarn, this Tentacle is perfect for filling with a multitude of little gifts and candy. But Tentacle Stockings aren’t just for gift giving. They make great arm warmers.* Wear them as ‘freak mittens’ to scare the neighbors.* Dress up your ferret for Halloween.* Or fill them with shrimp for a refreshing summertime treat.* (*not recommended)

This one is Lovecraft Lavender with a Plum Island Purple back. 21 inches long, 4 inches wide and has 23 suckercups. Sturdy and machine washable. Attached loop for easy hanging.”

I'd like to win since I've been told I'm 1/4th Old One on my mom's side of the family. Of course that could have been my aunt Yog-Sothoth messing with me.

Ah, but which tentacle is it? (We in the know know what octopi and squid do with tentacle is the privacy of their own seas - does it break any obscenity laws displaying a tentacle? :)

In the sacrilicious spirit of Cthulhumas - the tentacle would make a brilliant cat toy. If I am so blessed by the gods of Eld I promise pics.

I must have Tentacle stocking so I can then put my pony tail in to it so that people will think I have a tentacle growing out of the back of my head. This would be epic people will think I am a deep one.

It was not until I encountered the Persian, al-Khw rizm , and his book, Kitab al-Jabr wa-l-Muqabala, that I started my descent into eldritch horror.

That is not dead which can eternal lie,
And with strange aeons even death may die.

I would love to see the looks on my relatives' faces if I sent them the cards... I suspect they would be very confused. And probably disturbed.
