Awww, smug!Jack is the cutes thing ever. And Mr Allen is *SO* unimpressed in that last shot...* And hopeful!Mowett, who looks like he's been suffering horribly from the present-giving in the past. At least now we know where his caterpillar scarf came from....

Nice manips! DODO XMAS CARD OMG.

His scarf came from Pullings, remember? Hee, Mowett is so cute and starry-eyed there.

I wonder who could have sent Jack a Christmas card with a dodo on it? :D

Haha, unimpressed Allen!

Is that Dundas on that Christmas card?? :D I LOVE THESE.

I demand that after christmas you start all oer with these for Easter.

Yes it is Dundas. Naturally he would put a picture of himself on all the cards he sends out. (But Jack has hung up his picture one rung below Nelson.)

Start the Christmas ones over for Easter?

I'm nearing the end now, actually. Not going to last all the way till Christmas, I'm afraid.

Dundas is above the dodo, though.... (What's the one between him & the dodo?)

There's a map of the Americas, and then there's just a vague one that said "Merry Christmas" or something.

My god, that Captain Aubrey is a genius!

I know! The amazing tactics he comes up with - he's just brilliant.

I love the Christmas cards along the steps and the paper snowflakes. They have decorated so nicely :) It looks like home!

grace_poppy December 10 2007, 04:35:15 UTC

It IS home, for most of the year! Yes, I'm glad they're keeping the Christmas spirit!

I can't believe Stephen didn't come up with the idea.

grace_poppy December 13 2007, 02:26:03 UTC

Well, Stephen is brilliant in his own way, but he's no seaman. I think an idea like this takes a tactical, naval mind.
