Cephalopodmas Banner


Today is 22 December, also known as Cephalopodmas. Have a Gibbous Cephalopodmas from Cephalopod Tea Party, and may it be filled with terror and tentacles! You might want to get your special squamate something fetid.

On the thirteenth day of Cephalopodmas,
Cthulhu gave to me
Thirteen
Hapalochlaena,
Twelve ink sacs squirting,
Eleven
Architeuthis,
Ten ammonites,
Nine tentacles strangling,
Vampyroteuthis infernalis,
Seven photophores a-flashing,
Six arms a-flaying,
Grim-pote-u-thiiiiis,
Four snapping beaks,
Three suckers,
Two cuttlefish,
And
Histioteuthis heteropsis.
