Have a Merrier Christmas than Booster Gold
You would think that a time traveler could re-visit the happiest days of his life over and over. However, for poor Booster Gold, there really haven't been that many great Christmases.
For example, Booster Gold will spend the Christmas of the year 2462 on Death Row for his crime of stealing a time machine. Although, you have to admit that when you are facing a death sentence, being rescued by your twin sister probably seems like about the best gift in the world.
Read the details in Booster Gold, Volume 1, issues 13 through 15 and have yourself a merry little Christmas.

Only 1 Shopping Days Left until Christmas
While finding comics with Booster Gold in them is becoming increasingly difficult, finding Booster Gold costumes, inversely, is not. (I really cannot explain why.)
Zentaifan.com now offers "Film Version" Booster Gold costumes for both males and females (with optional crotch zippers!). It is probably too much to hope that Chinese zentai suit manufacturers have ever heard of Goldstar, so let's just be happy that there are multiple Booster Gold costumes for sale.

If Only They'd Told Us Sooner
As loyal reader deusex2 told us in yesterday's comments, Sony has rewarded DC Universe Online players with their own personal Skeets!
Sony Online Entertainment is calling this gunmetal gray "25th Century Communicator battle companion" Servo. The biggest difference from this little Skeets clone and the real thing is that Servo tells jokes. We all know the original -- and best! -- football-shaped battle buddy is a serious as a heart attack.
Don't make the mistake of following the lure of this siren's song pseudo-Skeets into playing DC Universe Online now, though. The battle companion was rewarded to active legendary account holders this past Tuesday. There was no advance announcement of this gift, and Servo units are not tradable between accounts. According to the official DC Universe Online Twitter account:
"You needed to have bought a membership earlier and been active - it is a thank you gift for current members."
Might as well call it a "see what you missed out on" gift for Skeets fans this Christmas.
UPDATE 12/22/2012: Mepps on Twitter reminds us that lapsed legendary account holders get a free 30 days to return to Metropolis where you'll be able to visit other people's battle bots.
Something's better than nothing, yes?

Another Year Nearly Gone
I suspect that the results of this poll pretty accurately represent the ratio of Boostlers to the larger Blue and Gold fan base.
Last week's poll question: What should Booster Gold fans be most thankful for from 2012? (45 votes)
No matter how you look at it, 2012 wasn't a very good year for Booster Gold fans. Besides the news that there might be a Booster Gold television show, there isn't anything else to crow over. So I put it to you, Booster boosters, what made you happy in 2012?
