Show me your Holiday Spirit

This has been one motherfucker of a year, and I need some cheer. Let's share holiday shit.





Today we put up the tree and deployed the strategic festive Christmas dogs, as is tradition.

This is my holiday spirit

I’ll keep my holiday spirit right where it belongs.

In my pants

I have yet to be visited by my Holiday spirits. There are usually 3 of them.

I've never had a chocolate orange

I'm old and tired and putting up decorations is just making the work of having to take them back down.

Chocolate oranges are great but you mustn't buy them for yourself.

Nobody has ever given me one

It must mean nobody likes me

Do they still do the chocolate raspberry? The chocolate raspberrys were real good

When I was a teenager I went to a friend's house, and after they'd served dinner, they brought out these slivers of ginger coated in melted chocolate orange. And, folks? Really fucking good.

Yeah but then it’s so depressing to put the decorations away.

This evening my parents and I went to purchase a christmas tree, and we quickly came upon the perfect tree. Unfortunately somebody had beat us to it. A woman was holding the perfect tree, obviously trying to judge its merits.

"Wow," said my mom. "Ma'am, that is the perfect tree."

"Is it?" the woman replied. "I can't really see."

"Here, let me hold it for you so you can get a better look," answered my mom as she took hold of the tree and spun it for the woman.

"You're right. It really is beautiful," she said. And we all nodded our heads in agreement. "But it's too heavy for me. You can have it if you want it."

We stared at the mad woman in silence. And then we all started talking at once.

"They'll help you carry it to your car!"
"It's the perfect tree!"
"It's christmas!"

But no, the woman said she could not manage such a tree by herself as her husband was home sick. It would be much better off with a happy family such as ours.

Well that's easy to fix, we said. We have strong backs and firm muscles, plus we have a truck that can haul two trees. We will deliver the perfect tree to your home! And that is what we did. We picked out our own Imperfect Yet Highly Loveable christmas tree, and then drove the Perfect Tree to its new home across town.

Thus a minor christmas miracle was born. Hooray!

tl;dr - My family forced some poor woman to spend fifty bucks on a christmas tree she really didn't want.

Unfortunately, her husband was bed ridden and couldn't rescue her as she was slowly crushed to death by the tree. Her last words were, "It's too heavy for me."

Man, I typed up this super long joke post about the tragic turn of events that brought her to that lot and then had to delete it because it might be true and it was making me cry. You and your mom should be ashamed of yourselves

"it's been a year since poor Timmy was crushed by a too-heavy christmas tree. now we will get a small, light, 100% safe tree and let the healing process begin"

"hi folks! isn't this the perfect tree?"

"oh no not again"

what the hell is the matter with you
she probably hated the tree
but she was probably scared to call it anything less than perfect when faced with some bizarre tree gang

whenever i see the gunch i sing his theme song

We've always had a bit of fun with the tree since we have animals, there are always a couple ornaments tucked away in weird places around the house by the time we're taking decorations down. But now we have this little trash kitten who gets into everything, so this year should be pretty wild.

There's a Gronch like that near my house but he is actually taking the lights off of my neighbour's roof and it rules

JEsus, Eclipse, you do not just walk up to somebody and ask to see their Holiday Spirit, what's wrong with you!?

Wow, Captain America and Captain America!


Edit: Also, the Christmas Tree has been up in our lobby since October, because in Taiwan Christmas is basically "vaguely winterish time, who can tell, it's 30 degrees (C) in December". So, welcome to the party, slowpokes.

I love Christmas, frankly an embarrassing amount, but I will not let it breach the Thanksgiving containment wall.

sarukun

I thought it would bother me more, but I underestimated how much of my seething hatred for the lengthening of the Christmas season is tied directly to the prevalence of Christmas carols.

Without the same 20 tunes about snow and Jesus, Christmas is basically just pretty lights here and there and the occassional sale, it's really quite tolerable!

-Loki-

I’m half British, and the British side of my family are super British.

But I’ve never had a Terrys Chocolate Orange.

I might rectify that this year.

I know this makes me a super nerd to have multiple captains on the tree but the Sam Wilson run as Captain america is the first comic I got my niece to read. We were in a comic book shop together and she saw the first edition and couldn't look away so i was like "Allright let's get you hooked".

Later we got a ton of black panther stuff and I ended up giving her my all new all different x men collection (X Men was my gateway into comics in the 90s)

Being a super nerd is awesome and Sam Wilson is Captain America.
