The 2007 Holiday NeckBeards are in! Congratulations to Aaron Todd Alden and Dan Alden, co-wearers of this year's pair of King NeckBeards!! They are given the honor for the following reasons:

• They both grew awesome red Holiday NeckBeards
• They are brothers
• They grew NeckBeards and they don't even know me, which suggests that they didn't just grow them so that I wouldn't bother them about it
• They shot guns while they had their NeckBeards
• They wore huge hats
• They went to Las Vegas, and nobody has ever had a Holiday NeckBeard in Las Vegas before

Here's Dan:

Thanks, Fellas!

Do the two pictures of Holiday NeckBeards below look different to you? That NeckBeard is different! It is Canadian! Congratulations to Chris Hamilton of Halifax! Chris, you have grown the first Canadian Holiday NeckBeard in the world!!

Yes! Oh, Canada!

Here's another picture of Rico's HNB. What a show-off!

Colin Frazer really knows how to grow a Holiday NeckBeard, because he's had so much practice!! This is his fourth year in a row! Huzzah!

The unveiling of Holiday NeckBeards traditionally takes place on top of Spencer's Butte in Eugene, Oregon. (see below)

The weather on this year's hike was much less terrible than the last few years. Congratulations to Rico, above, on a fine NeckBeard and life-choice! Below, our NeckBeards below the Thanksgiving double-sun.

Casey Kelly checks in from Kodiak, Alaska. This is the pose he uses to indicate where his umbrella went. Casey is a true champion of the Holiday NeckBeard and the creator of two radio ads regarding it, this one and this one. Man.

P.s. just kidding. He probably doesn't own an umbrella.

What's this?! A pair of Holiday NeckBearded brothers from Southern Oregon, taking part in the tradition for the first time. Congratulations, Dan and Aaron Todd Alden Esq.The holidays in southern Oregon look nice, don't they?

What are you thankful for?

Aaron Todd Alden Esq. also took his HNB on the road, and shared its glory with Las Vegas.

This is clearly someone with a deep understanding of how to live.

This heartwarming picture of was taken by HNB pioneer Casey Kelly on Pillar Mountain somewhere in Alaska. I used to use a crappy email service thing and didn't get it until way, way late. But here it is. And many thanks to Jay Barrett for taking part.

send in a picture of your HNB!
