Last month, dangerous Dan Acree, administrator of the Something Valiant Facebook group, set a challenge before the members: create a Valiant-themed stocking. I was in the midst of a couple projects, and my wife and I were scrambling to get presents mailed out to family and friends before we left for the holidays. Still, there's something inspiring about a challenge...
After starting the stocking at home, we found the rest of what we needed to complete it over the holidays. We finished on December 23rd, only twenty-four hours or so before the entry deadline. The remaining evening and day gave us time to make sure we were pleased with it, and didn't need to add any finishing touches.
Working on this stocking with my wife proved a real blast. I found the collaboration--the give and take of ideas--challenging and fun. Thanks Dan, for challenging us to stretch our collective creative muscles and make Valiant a joyful part of our holidays.
Naturally, we'll be hanging our X-O Manowar stocking from the mantle each December from now on too. That'll be something for Santa to look forward to, every time he climbs down our chimney.
