Thanks so much, Ian!

And always fun to get a glimpse of.
Kind of like a nexus between worlds. Or the restaurant at the end of the universe.

That's quite the compliment, thanks you! I did toy with the idea of it being a pub between realities for a while, kinda like 'Hell's Club"

In case you missed the memo:

Come one! Come all! To the Holiday Pub Crawl!

From now until the New Year, show us YOUR dolls or action figures getting in to the holiday spirit, with or without spirits, in your miniature pubs, taverns, bars, restaurants, kitchens, living rooms... or just a single figure raising a glass -- soda, spirits, cocoa, milk, sparkling water, or other beverage of choice -- to toast the holiday season.

Seasonal decor encouraged but optional. We want to make the rounds to everybody's place this season, so don't be a Scrooge! Spice up the cider, stoke up the Yule log, and join in the festivities!

Massive photoshoot, Dave. I like the infusion of seasonally-appropriate elements or hints.

Wow Dave! Th party i sin full swing now! They all look to be having so much fun . There could be a few sore heads in he morning!

Holy cow! Another massive photoshoot. Great stuff.

That was (or is, if it's still ongoing?) an impressive party!

Excellent- what a packed scenario with lots of our favourite characters of yours!
I can almost hear the noise to go with it. Love the activity radiating from it.

The officers and administrative staff of Field Station 42 hired a local public house as the location for a seasonal informal get-together.

Very cool: both festive and lived-in.

Wonderful pub pictures Dave! The party is now in full swing!

My contribution (you don't need drinks to enjoy yourself, just sweets and a pupper!) (I have a "fancier" set of photos to share, but decided I need to reshoot while viewing afterwards, so they'll come tomorrow).

What a spectacularly cozy setting! I absolutely love that fireplace and upholstered chair!

Thank you for inviting us in to your delightfully decorated holiday parlor!

What a lovely cozy set-up and what an exquisite tree!!!

As a bonus episode to my 2023 advent calendar my power couple Violaine and Jonathan want to wish you

a very Merry Christmas and great days with your family and friends!

Very cozy, MMI, lovely set and that dog totally steals the show.
Violaine and Jon look very sweet together, Illusion. Always great to keep the spark alive.

Woooow! It was fun to catch up! So many lovely and super creative photos! 

And funny how Keanu always gets away looking classy.  What a gorgeous pair!

Dave, that's... wow. Particularly loving those super tight shots! They sell the scale extremely well! 
MMI, so fun to see your characters like that in such a beautiful setting! 

So much creativity all around!

Very nice to see the holiday cheer, plus some really cool scenes too.

All of these look great BTW! And yes, Keanu is the definition of "classy"!

The following day a new friend showed up, and formal photos were taken before heading out to dinner. Not everyone participated however as formalwear just isn't for them (read IRL of I don't have anything for them lol) and if they went to dinner without dressing up they would be responsible for the bill.

Who woulda thought Ayane would dress up? (She really didn't want to pay)

Fuzzy friend really does sleep through anything.

Illusion: It's great to see John Wick in a peaceful setting!

MeMyself&I: The fireplace is a nice touch. And the fuzzy friend seems to be behaving pretty realistically.

Another entry - not so much pub-themed, but holiday-related nonetheless:

Oh, is this for me?

Great shots, everyone!

Nice contributions, everyone, it's been fun to follow along!

I sooo wish I could have participated, but we ended up with a bunch of clients wanting their dogs to stay last minute, so been far too busy to do the photoshoots I'd intended to do prior to Christmas. Maybe I can squeeze something in before New Year's Eve or 'the twelfth night'.

Wow, those ladies dress up nicely! Especially Ayane!

And hehe... Katie's gotta gun...

Thank you to everyone who is inviting us in to their pubs, living rooms, and cozy nooks for a bit of holiday cheer!

Ayane, the most fashion conscious of the enter gang, had an outfit that was literally pulled out of my accessories box at the last second for those photos. The boots? Had to paint them cause the black flocking was coming off. The purple sash? Ribbon. The shawl (did I name that right?)? A piece of white microfiber cleaning cloth from my technician days working on PCs. I'm glad it worked and so is she!

Thanks for the invite (I'm glad I got my display done in time)! Everyone has been partying hard and enjoying the holiday season I would say!

That crew is going to need a drink... hot cocoa or cider, 'natch... to warm up after traipsing through the snow!

Thanks for sharing a holiday get-together with us!

The sleigh is seriously loaded down! Santa's helper is gonna have a busy night!
