X-E’s 2004 Christmas Season has begun!

It's here, it's here, it's finally here! For those with a sour cache, yes, X-E is in it's 2004 Christmas Season, celebrating the launch of the third annual X-Entertainment Advent Calendar, and the first annual X-Entertainment Advert Calendar! Mare Winningham returns to X-E over on the Advent, while Christmas-themed commercials of the past are posted everyday until Christmas over on the Advert. I'd like to thank my good friend Brian Jacks for slaving over the new design for us and putting up with my shit, along with Jaime and Mike, who also helped make this all possible. Oh, and even if you've seen it already, you may wanna check out the new Christmas Jukebox one more time. X-E mixmaker, Tummi, has been kind enough to reorganize the files, fix the volumes, and add a few more choice selections -- including the Del Rubio Triplets' classic rendition of "Winter Wonderland" from Pee-wee's Christmas Special. There is sooo much more to come, but sadly, I've gotta go. Discuss, be merry. The fun really begins next week!

Dear God…I have no recollection of that Energizer commericial, but it’s easily one of the best commericials I’ve ever seen. The moment where the dude shouts ‘OY!’ at those bastard kids…Holy shit, I lost it…Perfect.

I’ll hafta blast the x-mas jukebox in celebration of the holiday season. My whole dorm is gonna love me (my ASS)!

Yar, that might be a bit much, but maybe every six months since there is so much material to cover.

Another option would be to follow the stores and start the coverage on November 1st. Macy’s Parade would fit into that format.

Why are all the ad files titled "X-E CHRISTMAS87"? Does this mean they’re all from the 1987 Macy’s tape?

And what of the cartoon specials you accumulated from people(and I know you did)? Are they being saved for 2005?

It’s great having an advert and advent calendar. And the layout is great too.

Matt, I did finally get home to check out your playlist. What an excellent addition to the X-E Christmas season.

Oh, & the top banner is crooked here on the blog, dude. You might want to fix that. Or make your web designer guy fix that.

You rule.

So worth the wait! Matt you are a genius, an absolute genius. I love you!

Now the fun officially begins! Great job Matt, keep up the good work!!!

"Rulebreakers aren’t good, save for the early stages of one "Stone Cold" Steve Austin’s face turn."

I remember the good ol’ days of the WWE back then. Damn I miss those times. "And that’s the bottom line, cuz Stone Cold said so!!!"

Been a looooooong time since I’ve seen Jacko. OY! Love the new format. Christmas has truly begun.

Congrats, Brian & Matt. Strange.. my brother’s name is Brian and mine is Matt. Brainfreeze. Anyway, the site looks great. Finally X-E is back to the way it’s supposed to be, all covered with Christmas goodness. To me this is the best time to be a reader/poster around here. It doesn’t get better than a good old fashioned X-E Christmas.. down on the farm. A little overeatin’ never did you any harm.

Oops.. almost lost myself there. Can’t wait to see what’s coming to the site this Christmas.

Thanks, Matt! December has officially become a Xmas countdown! Love the layout, and wow- an advent AND an adVERT calendar? We don’t deserve such goodness. I’m loving it all so far- keep up the goodness.

Chestnuts roasted by Muppet Baby @ 12/03/2004 10:52 AM

Matt- just listened to the Xmas jukebox……..Wham’s "Last Christmas"……..thank you! Great stuff! :)

Chestnuts roasted by Muppet Baby @ 12/03/2004 11:03 AM

SHIT he’s got no face!!!!1

Chestnuts roasted by dsfgfsdfsdg @ 12/03/2004 11:07 AM

In the middle of finals and hadn’t checked X-E since the first Thanksgiving Day parade came up. Thanks for a site I can read when I’m about to have a nervous breakdown–you put it all into perspective for me. I mean, it could be worse; I could have NO FACE. Awesome. Love the Christmas jukebox. Now, the only thing missing is Charo. Waitaminute…

HOLY SH*T! Mele Kalikimaka! Haven’t heard this since I was little. Sniff. Thanks, Matt. I think I have the strength to go on living through schoolwork now. You’re the best.

Chestnuts roasted by Emily @ 12/03/2004 11:19 AM

Ah, my first XE Christmas! Am glad to be part of this where i’ve been seeing countdowns as they happen (The Halloween countdown, and now the X-mas Advent calendar) Can’t wait to see if Mare is really good, or just waiting for the right time to turn back into the b*tch we know and love (or hate, depending on what side of the fence you’re on!) So keep up the great work Matt, and I’ll keep comin back everyday for the countdown.

Side note: Recently when I typed Giant Ape Juice in Google the first 2 sites that came up were for X-Entertainment. I dunno how to explain that…unless search engines act differently to us Canucks (Canadians, for those that don’t know :D )

Chestnuts roasted by Jabo @ 12/03/2004 11:37 AM

A ‘vent and a ‘vert all in one site! Woo-hah! Mare may be on the side of the angels for now, but with the two troopers hounding her, I’m waiting for the breakdown.

Chestnuts roasted by kingklash @ 12/03/2004 11:52 AM

To be truthful… I like Thanksgiving better these days :)

Chestnuts roasted by AngeFaitore @ 12/03/2004 12:22 PM

Nope, here in the States, X-E is still #3 for Giant Ape Juice, despite yesterday’s efforts. But, lets not get back into that today.
Oddly enough, as an experiment, I changed it to "Ape Juice Giant" and X-E was #1 and 2. That’s some weird wild stuff man.

That Energizer ad… one word…

HEIDENREICH.

Chestnuts roasted by Rein @ 12/03/2004 1:03 PM

I love the besantahatted Krang!! Great job on sprucing up the place!

Chestnuts roasted by B-Dawg @ 12/03/2004 1:12 PM

Matt-Okay, so I see you have David the Gnome at the bottom of the homepage. Now there’s nothing wrong with David in and of himself, but why would you include it in the x-mas layout. I mean, Iknow he’s wearing a red hat and looks like Santa Claus and all, but there’s really nothing to actually associate him with Christmas. I mean, he didn’t have a Christmas special like all the other characters that you’ve depicted on the homepage, did he?

On second thought, maybe he did. Hmm.

Chestnuts roasted by Nate @ 12/03/2004 1:39 PM

Matt-Oh, another thing. One song in your jukebox, "Grandma Got Ran Over By A Reindeer," doesn’t work. Disappointing indeed.
