Put on your capes and cowls, everybody! There’s pine needles on the living room floor, snow on the ground, and a scent of cinnamon in the air. Your dogs and cats are tearing apart wrapping paper, your family’s in town and you can’t stop drinking sparkling cider for some reason. That could only mean one thing, folks, it’s the nondescript religious holiday season! And that means that it’s time to go into credit card debt so that you can show those closest to you that you care, you know? And to make it a little bit easier on you guys, we here at Geeks of Doom have been shoveling our driveways so that we can deliver to you this, The Holiday Geek Gift Guide – Batman Edition! The best bat-gifts possible for the geeks on you gift-giving list! As you can see, I’ve changed up the intro a smidge, and that’s simply because today we celebrate the holiday in the best way possible, with The Batman. Yes, The Batman. And while it may not make much sense to you that we’re doing this, you fail to realize that Batman makes everything better. In fact, the presence of Batman-centric holiday gift guide on this site makes not only this site better, but also it makes the world better. And isn’t that truly what the holidays are about? Making things better or something like that? Sure, why not! Anyway, it’s been a pretty big year for The Dark Knight, and that will certainly be evidenced by the majority of this list. We’ll also be making it a little easier on you by narrowing this list down by separate topics such as comics (and comic-inspired items), statues, Batman: Year One, and Arkham City. Sure there will be some overlap, but that’s all right because we’re talking about Batman! So let’s start of with the merriest of merries, comic books!

 Nothing says Christmas like Cthulhu! The folks over at Red Wasp have designed a great app for the holiday season — the Cthulhu Christmas Calendar. Starting December 1, you can have adorably illustrated renderings of H.P. Lovecraft’s terrifying creations help you countdown the 25 days til Christmas on your smartphone or iPad. This unique digital advent calendar contains an original illustration for each day that combines classic Christmas imagery like mistletoe with figures from H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos, like Shoggoth mailing a letter to Santa, who, as we know, will find out if he’s been naughty or nice.

The Muppets want everyone to have a Happy Thanksgiving this year, whether you’re doing the cooking or you’re being cooked! The gang sent out an e-card for the holiday which shows the Swedish Chef boiling up a pot of turkey, but will he be successful? It’s doubtful (just see the video below of one of his previous attempts).
