The Official Holidays Thread
 

How was your Mdselctmas, Christmas, Harmonikka, or Kwanza? What did you do? What did you get?

Hung out with the family. Drank. Ate food, got gift cards. Donated time at the homeless shelter. Life is good. Yourself?

My grandma and grandpa are both dead, so the Christmas Eve tradition we used to have is officially dead. Instead, that night I went out and (srsly) prayed for what was basically world peace. Then I slept.

Christmas day, I woke up at nearly 12, which is -not- how it usually goes. Almost every year - in fact - EVERY YEAR, I wake up at 8, then my cousin Amber at around 10 (she lives with us, for those who don't remember), then the Priestess at about 11. But by the time I was awake, they were both ready. Otherwise, it was the same as every Christmas.

I come downstairs, walk into the living room, where "24 hours of A Christmas Story" is on TV, and will be until it is done. I grab my stocking, sit down on the couch, and look through it. It's a cute little mouse stocking, and in it was a bunch of chocolate, $200, and a pretty cool camera (I'm forbidden to use it anywhere around the house, and at night time). Amber got the same, but a fancier camera than I got. Then we opened our presents.

Next came the presents.
-2 Disc Deluxe Edition of Constantine that comes with over 50 chapters of the Hellblazer comic book. I CAME HARD.
-Evagelion 2.22, 2 disc with over 40 minutes of extra junk. Again, I came.
-El Shaddai Ascension of the Metatron (PS3), everything I've ever wanted in a video game. I came Jesus.
-Final Fantasy Dissidia 2012 (PSP). Play as over 9000 characters, including my favorite from FFXIII, Lightning!
-A bunch more candy.
-A new PSP, as my old one was broken.
-Monster Hunter Freedom Unite (PSP)
-A very big, warm, hoodie.

Then my girlfriend came over with out Satanist friend, Kenny and his girlfriend, Brandi. Kenny and Brandi had places to go, but they gave me and my girl a couple presents. She got a bunch of soup, and I got Pinkie Pie (see picture).
My girlfriend got me a Wii (which I already knew about, but don't tell her). To which I responded by giving her three games for the Wii. I got her a pretty ring and a turtle clippy thing, as well.
The Priestess then gave us exactly what we had both asked for - Nutella!

Spent the day hanging out with my girlfriend, before going to my Aunts' house. Uncle Johnny playing a game, Aunt Robin drunk off her ass, and my little cousin Crystal using the word "loser" in every sentence. It was nice.

The following day, me and my girl went with her friend Hannah to the mall, to which me and her got MLP t-shirts ordered. Today I went to my new friend Kieran's house and gave him $50 and he responded by ordering me a MLP hoodie right then and there.

Pink Pie sucks

Pinkie Pie*

well for me i got a new jacket, 25 dollars, a giftcard, an 88 mazda rx7 convertable. nothing really much

I usually get something a bit more fancy than what I got, but I'm disturbingly satisfied. The only thing I didn't like what that I had to fix Pinkie Pie's hair manually.

(Dat flash)

What, the fuck?

She has curly hair in the show, but the toy came with extremely straight hair. It was bugging the crap out of me, so I fixed it. Now I just need to get a figurine for Gummy, her pet alligator.

What .... The ..... Fuck .....

It's a cultural phenomenon amongst the young and unemployed

well good thing i think its gay ... cause its just stupid i say

If you watch the first two episodes, and pull it apart as a story, it's theatrically a very good opening to a show. Like, if they weren't ponies for eight year old girls, it would probably be incredibly popular among the fantasy genre. It's background story for the first two episodes involves a battle between two goddesses and a prophecy that the "evil" one would return. At the end of the episode one, she does. Episode two, they have to vanquish her.

It's actually pretty epic. A very similar thing happens the first two episodes of the second season, where the god of Chaos who was sealed away escapes and defeats the "good goddess".

Most other episodes are just cute, funny, and character development. But regardless, the show is very fleshed out. Like, on an unnecessary level.

/me not trolling

I got a new electric razor, a $25 giftcard to Wal-Mart, new loungepants, and coal. My brother literally put coal in a box and wrapped it up.
