Christmas 2016: "Close Trim" by Malmgren and Hartley

Merry Christmas, Groove-ophiles! Ol' Groove loves to turn out the lights, turn on some holiday music, and watch the lights twinkle on the Christmas tree...but setting up and decorating said faux evergreen? Not so much. Perhaps reading all those comicbook stories in which guys like Archie create major disasters out of such a lovely tradition. You know, like the mess he makes in "Close Trim" by Dick Malmgrem and Al Hartley in Pep #261 (October 1971)!
