Welcome to the board, man! You have good coverage - congrats! I like natural cheeklines, so my opinion would be to let your cheeklines go natural and trim some of the stragglers if you wish. I don't do anything to mine. Your neckline looks fine as well. Yes, you will have a respectable beard by Christmas ... in fact, I think it will be really good looking by then.

You have good beard genes ... congrats on that! Now let's see you grow it out!
