We started out the day playing some Dungeons and Dragons at the Osthimer pad.
Josh took this opportunity to take some pictures in Katy's sombrero for the Twelve Josh in Hats Before Christmas.
They ran on the sixth day before Christmas.
The two photos in this gallery are bonus pictures!

Little known fact about sombreros: they tend to mess up one's hair.

Following the injury to Josh's thumb and the loss of his other hand to applying pressure, Ian tries to help Josh stay alive by feeding him soup.

It was really good soup! But everyone said it was time to go to the hospital before Josh could finish. A real pity, that.

Jeff driving to the emergency room. How terribly dramatic.

Katy and James give the sign of a job well done as Erin and Josh enter the ER.

Josh was quickly admitted, but still had to wait around for over an hour before he was treated. This is a bad picture in that he looks like he's about to break into tears. It's just frustration and stress with the knowledge of possibly ruining the plans for the evening.

Not having proved themselves to be big enough nerds, the party began playing D&D in the waiting room.

While everyone else plays the game, pitting their characters against one another in battle, Josh tries to relax with a volume of Horatio Hornblower.

Charles and Katy are too cool to be confused as die-hard fans of Leave it to Beaver. But really, they are.

Felicity and Daniel showed up just before Josh was called back, Devin and Kellie arrived before he got back. We do not know the child in the foreground.

Josh returns with his thumb wrapped up. He didn't need stitches after all! He also got a tetanus shot, which is the true spirit of Christmas.

It's Felicity! At the mention of Josh not having a scarf of his own, she offered to share her's, which was a generous thing to do!

Felicity takes a call while Josh gives Devin a look for saying something foolish.

This was taken so Josh had inspiration to write more fan-fiction about ... uh, Philippe and Erín. No relations to these two, you pervert.
Remember: it could be worse.

Charles maniacally forces a peppermint stick upon Josh. Josh accepted it in fear.

Josh got to be surrounded by the ladies! Not only that, but his camera was being fussy.
Photo Credit Sean Murray |
 |
Jeff is taken aback, possibly from Sean's camera, possibly from Phil to his left, possibly from the hand reaching towards his throat.

Man, Paul just hasn't a care or a clue what's going on. James lets us all know that Paul is a nerd.

Charles does something while holding a knife to Paul's throat, waiting for the picture to be taken but not knowing that Josh was actually taking video.

Phil told the waiter to surprise him with his order. Anything the kitchen wanted to make, so long as it was under ten dollars. Phil was very happy with what he got. It was some sort of chicken sandwich.

It is entirely possible that Josh is looking very intently at Erin's ear. Or he might be talking to Jeff behind her back. Regardless of whichever it is, Erin plays a crucial role in this photo.

Charles and Devin are Katy Drinking Coffee groupies. It's a new fad.

Devin attempts to phone home. He has his Reeses and is ready to go.

Phil does his very best Wolverine impression, but he lacks the swanky yellow and black bodysuit.

Devin outdoes Phil by using both hands. Kellie tries her best to ignore him by getting some gum.

Before leaving Chili's, James, Charles, Katy, and Devin had to pose with the monkey cowboy.

Pressure differences nearly sucked Charles out of the car on the way to go ice skating.
Photo Credit Josh Gulch |
 |
Here we are trying to ice skate! Or rather, here Josh is getting tips from Jeff because he was doing so poorly at the sport.
Why is that child laying on the ice?

 |
Josh breaks down into pleads for Jeff to understand why he isn't skating very well.

 |
Josh wasn't the only one having difficulties. Paul wasn't faring so well either. Eventually though Josh reinjured his thumb and quit, insisting that everyone finish up the final fifteen minutes before closing.

 |
We eventually did wind up at Big Boy's before the night was out! Paul, as per usual, is surprised by the camera.

Katy is the Whipped Cream Hitler!
... What more can I add to that?
Photo Credit Josh Gulch |
 |
Erin enjoys her ice creamy dish. That's how you eat ice cream, yes!
Photo Credit Josh Gulch |
 |
Jeff has some as well. God yes, eat that mother lovin' ice cream.

This is the ultimate conclusive proof that Sean Murray is capable of smiling. Let the naysayers rot in despair.

Compare that to Phil's interpretation of Sean as drawn on a placemat.

Usually I spend some time fixing red eyes and adjusting the brightness and sharpness. I thought this worked better by not touching it.

Felicity, Charles and Daniel played some Magic, because they're old skool like that.

 |
Felicity won the game, effectively kicking everybody's butts from here to Brussels in the process.

It's been a while since you last saw Josh, so here he is. I know you care.

James tells Charles how badly he lost to Felicity. Daniel mutters that she will rue the day.

Jeff and Charles spar outside Big Boy, performing parts of their lightsaber routine. Everybody in the restaurant stopped what they were doing to watch them.

The battle continues. The choir was overpowering at this point. It was really something, let me tell you that.

 |
Jeff and Charles continue to go at it. You see, one of them is the chosen one, but nobody can remember who it is.

James solemnly presents a pie to Charles as Felicity adjusts her hat. It's time for everybody to go home. Maybe they'd like to try going to the zoo before Christmas? And I mean actually making it to the zoo this time.
