This Day in History: Merry Christmas
While DC may not have room for a Christmas book in the New 52 (the heroes are probably all too busy infighting to exchange gifts), we'll always have ghosts of Christmases past.
Way back in the Good Old 52 days of 2008, Booster Gold helped the Justice League celebrate the holiday in DC Universe Holiday Special #1. Whenever the Justice League throws a party, you'll find Booster Gold!
Indicative of Booster's rekindled popularity at the time, our hero appears in not one but two stories in this anthology, albeit in very, very small roles. (He sings! He dances! He appears only in backgrounds!)
No, it's not a great issue. Fortunately, greatness isn't a requirement for Christmas Specials. A bunch of "lesser" heroes get some much deserved spotlight in this issue, and that should be good enough for the price of admission to this party.

Coal in My Stocking?
Wow. It's a Christmas Miracle: this poll had 4 times as many votes as any other poll has ever received. (That's a response too good to be true. It looks like I'll be spending Christmas weekend working on better poll scripts!) Given the apparent demand, maybe original Dan Jurgens artwork needs to be sold by the panel.
Last week's poll question: Which present would you most prefer receive for Christmas? (168 votes)
Coming to the end of the calendar means that it's time to look back at the year that was. For Booster Gold, 2011 was a pretty eventful year. Booster was prominently featured as a major character in 4 different titles, participated in a unique tie-in to the crossover event of the year, and survived the reboot to lead the reimagined Justice League International. He even appeared in both animated and live action television shows. Quite an impressive list for a character still widely considered a b-list hero. Here's hoping Booster doesn't rest on his laurels in 2012.

Naughty or Nice
The winner of last week's poll, 52 Week 15, trounced the competition by a wide margin. I'm sure no one voted for that issue because we saw Booster Gold's corpse, right?
Last week's poll question: What is the best single comic book that features Booster Gold (Boosterrific edition)? (38 votes)
I have another follow-up poll for this series that I'll run next year. First, let's take the time to properly celebrate the holiday season the traditional way: by thinking about what we want other people to give us.
