One more weekend before Christmas, everyone. While it’s all too easy to give in to the last minute stress – wrapping presents, shipping those presents, baking, and 5,000 other things – remember that the holidays can be a happy and relaxing time of year. You control what you do and how you feel so make some warm cider, put on your favorite holiday movie, and take an evening off. Spend time with your loved ones instead of running that last errand at the busy mall. It’s for the best.

As you take a moment to slow down and breathe, go ahead and flip through Cosplay Friday. Hey, looking at pretty pictures makes me feel better. This week’s gallery has a wearable version of the Awesome Mix Vol. 1, a fantastic Daredevil, and more.
