Last year, I used a different pen every day in December with red or green ink. I alternated days with red on odd number dates, and green on even number days. The inks didn’t always differ, but the pens did. 
 

I’ve just got two pens ready to start the month. Do any of you have plans to use certain pens and inks for December?

I currently have 18 pens inked! I have two more arriving today with two new inks so I'll will probably be at 20 by the end of the day!

 

I currently have Noodler's Widow Maker in my Retro 51 Black Cherry and Diamine Oxblood in my Lamy Safari Dark Dusk.

 

In my sport Kaweco Sport I have Diamine Cool Green and in my Onoto Ceramic BRG Scholar I have Diamine Ultra Green.

Very pretty and festive pens! Will you fill the green with red ink and the red with green? I like this idea; it feels special.

Last night (or 0Dark30) I loaded a green Pelikano Jr with Montblanc Irish Green, and a Preppy with a red mix.  Got ink all over my fingers.  🤣

My latest ebook.   And not just for Halloween!
 

My other pen is a Montblanc.

When I first saw the title of this thread, "Pens for Christmas 2025," I thought it would be about what pens we were wishing to get, lol.

Yeah.  So did I...  Especially after getting a bunch of "Cyber Monday" ads from various pen shops in my inbox this morning....

I was predictable and filled red with red, and green with green.

I changed the name of the topic to hopefully clear it up. But it might still be a place to add what pens you want, if no one  starts that topic.

I like that, though. Predictability can be a good thing!

I hope you get them all. Am I right to think all are on the pricey side?

@lamarax indeed it does. Is it filled with ink? If so, what color please?

 

J. Herbin Éclat de Saphir. Not very Christmas-y :)

The Pelikan M600 Rudi Rother looks quite Christmas-y, not by theme, but in its color combination:

A couple of vendors had those at OPS this year.  Too rich for my blood, sadly -- but boy are they pretty!

@AkitaMom -- Diamine Classic Red is probably my favorite red ink.  Because it's RED -- smack in the middle of the spectrum red.  Doesn't lean pink, or brown, or burgundy.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      By Misfit · Posted

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
