Saranac Lake, NY band Sonic Boom blasts a cover of the Creatures of the Night album at their second annual Merry KIssmas Toy and Food Drive. The annual event requires unwrapped toys and non-perishable food items or $10 cash for entry. This year, half of the cash proceeds will be given to a family who's daughter is in critical condition after a severe snowmobile crash i northern New York state. The band's next event will benefit local veterans. The band's founders, John Warchol and Tiger Whitelaw have been hardcore Kiss fans forever and Kiss has been a major inspiration not only in music, but in life. The guys believe in giving back and helping those who are suffering.

Merry KISSmas

My son, Daniel is five years old and a huge Kiss fan. When ever he is asked what he'd like to do for face painting at the kids Christmas party, the results are inevitably something like this, so we thought we'd use it to our advantage this year. Daniel would like to wish Paul, Gene, Tommy and Eric a Merry Kissmas and a Happy New Year.

Ready for A Crazy Crazy Night in Italy! 🎸🥁 We can't wait for the hottest show!

In my hometown Duisburg-Baerl, Germany.

It's beginning to look a lot like KISSmas!

This is my cat, McFluffin, proudly showing of his Destroyer shirt. Even our pets are KISS fans!

2016 has been another banner year for you guys, with the Freedom To Rock Tour and KISS Kruise VII! I wish you and your families a very blessed Merry Christmas/KISSmas, and may 2017 be as ROCKIN' as ever! - Lori Mullins

My Christmas card for 2016!!

Mr. Simmons, On August 22nd 2016, you made a dying man's dream come true. I've reached out to you previously to thank you for all you did for him. Today, I just want to update you on Dad. He's still hanging in there! He talks about that night every single day. While he is still steadily declining with dementia starting to kick in, he is still in high hopes and isn't ready to give up! As you may know, his disease is very rare. With the help of social media, he was connected with 2 others that have his illness and the 3 of them became very close and when health allowed them, they would travel and get together. They were the 3 amigos. Sadly, they have both recently passed away, making this a difficult Christmas for Dad, making him feel he has nothing left, and feeling alone. I was able to put a smile on his face when I went on vacation to Gatlinburg, where I purchased his very own Gene Simmons Christmas ornament to hang on the tree to add to the "Stories of 2016" collection. It's dead center of the tree so every morning, and it's the first thing he sees, so he thinks about the night of your show, and his day starts off on a good note. :) Again, Mr. Simmons, thank you. You'll never know how much you've touched his heart. Merry Kissmas to you and your family. 🤘🏻 Love always, Angelina Cervone
