On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: a GIF. 

I’m not really sure how I feel about that.

This holiday season has begun early on Tumblr, beginning the Twelve Days of GIFmas—and this GIF from Melaphantastic—approximately 20 days early. An ongoing project that aims to present images from different artists, Twelve Days is a creative use of holiday mindspace and cyberspace.

As for the cliched partridge in the proverbial pear tree: The waving tentacles are Cthulhu-tastic. The mellow, goggling fowl is a marvelous counterpoint to those smug goddamn owls you see everywhere this year. He can roll with it, whatever “it” may be. It’s a partridge in a pear tree that is uniquely 21st century. 599 Tumblr notes concur.
