Hallo everyone! This is Dave from the future now, or, the present, depending on your perspective. I’m writing this on Christmas Eve 2016. You’ve now made it through the first year of our ludicrous Christmas silliness. The first year was a daft diversion, but it went down so well that we started to really concentrate after this. We’d got them hooked! Now we could start telling some stories, and doing some REALLY stupid jokes. Wait and see.
And Bowie. There will be Bowie.
So! There are still some things to fix and tweak on this version, but it’s Christmas and I’m hanging out with family. But I’ll see you in a few days, to upload year two’s story and to work on the website a bit more. But most of the work was done by our friend Brandon: anything that works about this version is down to him. Anything that doesn’t is because of my own ridiculous attempts.
All right! See you soon! I think if you click the next button down below, it’ll take you back to the start. Soon year two will be ready, and I’ll make no secret of it, so keep an eye on my twitter (www.twitter.com/DemonTomatoDave) for announcements.
And let me know what needs improving. It’s been way too long without these stories being readable, so we want everything to work this time round!

Dave, I love this story.
This is the best, most merry, wiggliest Christmas story ever written.
Well, that was an amazing Christmassy ride with good jokes and other such silliness (and an epic soundtrack that was entirely in my head). I can’t wait until the next calendar is out! Thank you Dave for all of this nonsense.
WIGGLE HE!
It was great to actually read this! It was somehow even more a surreal experience than I expected and this was coming in with The Ballad of Mecha Snatter as foreknowledge! It really made my boxing day!
Only one problem I’ve had with the site so far – the interactive Advent Calander picture doesn’t function on Firefox, meaning I had to use my backup browser, Chrome, in order to read anything. Future bug fix, perhaps?
I’m so excited to finally read these! I somehow managed to read the third one because it wasn’t paywalled yet, but it’ll be so much sweeter heading towards it with full background! Excellent work Dave, and Abby as well! Merry Christmas!
I just can’t even. This is what the internet was made for. I’ve had a few minor e-adventures in my day, but this is something that blows it all away, and I wish I could have been there for it at the time… but it’s just lovely getting to see it now, with all the context. And those jokes were clever. I love the part about you switching up who posted what.
I can’t wait to see what year 2 has in store.
