    Then again, not sure what we'd have made of Black Peter with that explanation...

    Zwarte Piet is always an awkward subject.

    Would it totally break the tradition to have him played by an actual black guy or am I being silly

    Oh absolutely not, but mostly Zwarte Piet is going to be a white person with blackface applied.

    Oh Christmas, one of the most fun times of the year! I've grown more enamored with sharing gifts more than being anxious about what I'm getting and I get to watch all the ridiculous Rankin and Bass claymations I've been watching since ever! Not to mention all the other specials and frippery.

    I could care less about the religious aspects, I just love me a good celebration where everyone can just get along, if only for a couple days.

    A Visit from St. Nicholson has not been mentioned an excellent Christmas Skit, I'm doing so now.

    I remember St. Nikolas Tag falling in December 6th and at least two of our neighbors in Germany would each leave a boot filled with goodies at our door.

    I was at bar trivia last night and my team was in a distant fourth going into the final question

    Category: Fictional Bands
    (we go all in)

    "If Bill and Ted had never gone on their 'Excellent Adventure' they never would have been able to form this band."

    I was - somehow - the only one in the bar who knew it was Wyld Stallyns

    It felt like Christmas had come early

    A song. An unbelievably sad song, discussed earlier in the thread. It's like a nuclear bomb lurking in the middle of the local radio station's Christmas music lineup. I can't relax listen to them anymore because I always have to be on guard for that song.
    It is not even remotely sad. It tries too hard to be sad and ends up being a mix of laughably overwrought and monstrous.

    Okay, the subject matter is sad. We agree on the overwrought and monstrous part.

    Edited for quote fail.

    all the good of christmas is constantly trying to save me from becoming a scrooge because of all the fucking christmas advertising.

    I've already got half my shopping done at least. I got batman arkham city plus batman TAS season 1 for my sister and her husband. Arkham city was thirty dollars on amazon!

    Is The Snowman really not that common outside of England? I had it on tape and watched it every winter as a kid.

    Also I would do almost anything for a better quality version of this special

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDBMzGq1vhs

    Because it is the best special and the best Christmas album, ever.

    Sadly no bonus points, but it didn't matter since we won by such an embarrassing margin

    Man, I was at a pub quiz on Tuesday, and the challenge was the quizmaster was to say hello in different languages and you had to pick it.

    Anyway one was asked, and everyone everywhere was stumped. I listened to it again, leaned into the group and said I think I knew what it is.

    Guys I think that's Turkish.

    How the fuck do you know Turkish?

    ....assassin's creed.
