Fire demon!

Scott tried to keep the tiny little pine tree from Christmas alive, but it's been failing fast... so he decided to let it go out in style. Check it out: an actual fire demon emerged from it as it combusted!

I don't know about you, but I see a ferocious demon in there! Maybe it's a Rorschach test type of thing and everyone else sees a butterfly, in which case... well... I guess I'm just demonically-minded.

Happy birthday to Penny and Barb, by the way!

Consider this your birthday demon. :-)
