Christmas Eve, 2005.

Merry Christmas to all. I've gotta go stuff mushrooms and drizzle liquid death over rapidly heating Chex Mix. Thanks for being a part of X-E's nearly-finished 2005 Christmas celebration. May Santa bring you all the best.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone on the blog, from New Jersey to the North Pole and everywhere over, under, and in between. I’m over my parents’ house for Christmas, as always. Just finished watching "Robots" with my 13-year-old brother. Cute flick; the plot’s hardly original, but the voice cast features Robin Williams, Ewan MacGregor, and Halle Berry, among others.

Matt, I understand you couldn’t do what you usually do with the blog, and that’s reasonable. You’re a busy man. As Tom No Like said, even when people are arguing over the real meanings of the holidays and whose holiday is it, anyway, and you still manage to have some Yultide spirit and enjoy the season…because that’s the REAL meaning of the holidays, all of them. Give, share, reflect, and have fun doing it.

(Slow clap)

Well done, Matt, well done. BEST Christmas ever. Even though this Christmas has not erupted with the soul-shaking presents of yore (Castle Grayskull, Optimus Prime, etc.) it’s been one of the best because of XE. And when you start to wonder if all that you do is worth it, stop wondering. It’s great.

I just caought "Olive, the other reindeer" a little bit ago. Very cute, and well written.

And definitely thanks to Matt for making this Christmas great!

Update: The "party" went well, and I ate too much @_@

Saw The Year Without A Santa Claus earlier tonight fully for the first time. A "meh" special, with the only highlights being the Snowmiser & Heatmiser songs. Which kicked ass, by the way.

MERRRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!
Still haven’t read the Advent Calendar. Sorry for not pulling my blogger weight but I did just finish watching ELF and we are about to put out E.Claire’s gifts for tomorrow morning so the Christmas season has not passed me by in the least.
Thanks again Matt for all of your hardwork and a special MERRY CHRISTMAS from the bottom of my
X-E heart.

Forgot to mention the main things I wanted to say:
1. Picked up the JONES SODA HOLIDAY PACK on clearance for a mere 5.50.
2. Watching GARFIELD CHRISTMAS now after having watched the original Christmas classic this morning…THE WICKER MAN. :)

I’m $80 away from a Nintendo DS and today is the biggest hit of them all!

Chestnuts roasted by dohopoki @ 12/25/2005 12:23 PM

Merry Christmas everybody!

…that’s all I’ve gotta say!

Chestnuts roasted by Antenna Villain @ 12/25/2005 12:43 PM

Merry Christmas! Thanks Matt, for all that you do. XE went from "that cool website" to "that website I read everyday" to a huge part of my Xmas festivities! I am so happy to have discovered this website, and these bloggers.

I am so glad to be back home for Xmas this year- the beer never tasted so good, and the "Griswolds" were never so funny.

God bless traditions, family and the XE blog. Happy holidays to all of you reading this. Thanks for giving me a place on the web where I belong.

Matt, thank you for the time you put into X-E, both the advent calendar and the rest of the year. I know your busy and we all love you more for it. Like Run DMC says in "Christmas in Hollis," "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!"

Merry Christmas!

I had roasted chestnuts tonight. They weren’t that tasty but I feel so much more Christmasy now that I can say I’ve had them.

Chestnuts roasted by Carri @ 12/25/2005 1:35 AM

No Way Carri! I was just asking everybody if they’ve ever roasted chestnuts for Christmas, and couldn’t find a soul that had. All I got where the obvious jokes involving nuts.

My first post since I stumbled upon this site in 2003. What a great site! I got my first Playmobil advent calendar because of this site. Keep up the good work. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!

Chestnuts roasted by Donata05 @ 12/25/2005 1:59 AM

Merry Christmas Everyone! Thanks Matt for bringing X-E into our holiday traditions. Each year is better than the last. Awesome!

Merriest of Christmases to you, Matt.

Everytime I shut my eyes, I see Mare telling Kuse he tastes like candy canes.

Sir Matthew: Great job on the advent/advert calendars this year! May the Christmas motif stay up well through August 2006, sir!

It’s definitely been an X-E sort of Christmas. I sent the link to the site to a few friends this year (again) and one of the checked it out and BECAUsE OF X-E sent me a pair of COAL CARS for Christmas! I got and ambulance and the always awesoem MOBILE LIGHT CAR, which i guess is a big truck that has a big yellow plastic thingy thing that’s supposed to by some 10,000 watt bulbs for outdoor rock shows. The plastic coal is awesome. I will put it to good use (weed container).

Wasted off vodka red bulls at my parents house on Christmas Rockin’ Eve checking out the X-E advent calendar. It doesn’t get any sweeter than this.

And, of course, I’m so drunk I forgot to also post that I’m plying the fam with some Jones Soda Regional Holiday Pack AND I bought a complete box of Chocodiles to share with 10 lucky people. Okay – 9. I ate one last night. Probably more like 8, since I’ll probably save one of the remaining ones for myself. Maybe 7 if I hide one away for the long drive home. Or 6. It’s a long drive.

SPOILERS, PROBABLY: I predict a Mare pregnancy as the capper to this adventure, and the Mare-a-Kuse spawn to be the subject of the 2006 Advent.
