The Holiday Council

I'm keeping mah one sprig
so, there you have it good sir.

I like the one sprig. It looks good on the hat. Regardless of what Xitel says; more is not always necessary.

 

[Baby Tea]

See? It's worth it. Holly makes things a little better. Unless you're allergic. Or keep it in a pile near your hammock.

...while sunbathing shirtless. Which is crazy to me, but that's because I'm in Canada and we've got a foot or so of snow on the ground, with another 2 feet in the sky, falling right now.

 

[Vortigar]

Mistletoe is supposed to get you kisses.
Holly is for being festive in the best of ways.

Woops!
Never really knew that distinction actually...
You learn something every day.

We don't do much for Christmas in our family. We dress up the house and my mom flexes her considerable cooking muscle and me and my brother eat at home. That's it.

We don't do the presents thing, that's done with Sinterklaas (he's the one on which Santa Claus was based after the other American colonists got jealous of the Dutch 5 december celebration around Saint Nicolas (which is why you still call him Saint Nick btw)) and we also don't do the massive family get-together, it's just the four of us (though sometimes an aunt or uncle comes over).

I still try to get into the mood though, lifting that winter depression is always a good thing.

I'm not entirely sure why we do Christmas in our house. We're not religious. I guess it's just habit. But after the term/semester I've had, I'm looking forward to the whole thing.

Hey xitel, what do you think about my idea of spreading the love holly over to WarCry?

If you like. Personally I don't go there, but sure, why not.

No way am I going there (they scare me), I just want to gauge their reactions.

Edit: Oh wait, are you going (still half-asleep here)?

If you are, you should say crap like, "tis the season," "bringing the two sites together," and crap like that.

Also, don't try to shove it down their throats (this must be handled delicately), and try not to sound pretentious, nor condescending (it's part of why they hate us).

But, but, but... I am pretentious and condescending...

I was sunbathing shirtless because it was the middle of summer. Like I said, I think it might not have been holly, but instead some other dry, spiky leaf.

You're just trying to make it seem less weird. We know the truth

Would you mind telling me the truth? I was unaware there was some other truth that I don't know.

Well there isn't, obviously. It was said in jest..(awkward silence)..

Of course... so, who else needs holly?

 

[Virgil]

Good idea - Christmas PIP Boy away!

 

[xitel]

Why, we even have staff participating! Perhaps we should make a holly badge, for the folks that participate!

Well, I suppose I could get crim to spread his anti-holly. That way, I can see if the the WarCry members adorn the anti-holly out of spite, for us.

No wait, if you both go, it would make for an even greater social experiment.

Am I a bad person for wanting to use the WarCry members as guinea pigs?

Are they better than guinea pigs? I think I've only posted there once or twice.

Well that was a mission and a half.
Basically i'm on a mac and i have no idea what sort of picture editing programs i have/can get.
So what i had to do is open Flash C3 and do it in there and then print screen it when i was finished -.-
What an annoyance.

Anyway i changed my avatar in general to add holly
Pretty lame but never mind
Loving the idea and the mass amount of holly on your avatar xitel.

The next day i see a mass load.
You should add 1 a day

My skills are insufficient to add anymore. I put one on, and I have Richard to thank for the rest. I could throw my goatee on, but that's gonna be saved for Christmas week, along with the real sprig of holly pinned to my shirt.

Holly Time! (It'll take a while to pop up but I added some)
