X-Entertainment | Christmas Eve, 2007.

Christmas Eve, 2007.

I have to get 20 hours worth of stuff done by 7 PM, so this will be quick: Merry Christmas! #24 is up! I hate stuffing mushrooms! The final AC entry may be a bit late, but since those are usually short epilogues, we'll be okay.

Hope everyone has a great Christmas Eve, Day, Day After and Day After The Day After. Talk about your holiday adventures in the comments, from gifts to guests to food to reindeer.

No thanks, think I’ll hit my OWN bed!

Merry Christmas!

I’ll go to bed with Doho. I’m always open for new experiences. I get the bottom bunk. Me landing on you would not be a pleasant experience not to wake up from

Okay, so I watched Jingle All the Way, wrapped some presents, and then watched Serendipity. Oh yeah, I’m feeling pretty emo right now.

I told everyone over at Shrine that I loved them, so I’d better say it here, too

I love you guys.
Happy Birthday, Mithra!

Octopus lamp? THE octopus lamp? I suppose any octopus lamp is more awesome than a non-octopus lamp.

Chestnuts roasted by squee4242 @ 12/25/2007 3:43 AM

Yes, THE octopus lamp. Fate brought it to him, across time, distance, and adversity.

Chestnuts roasted by Knegative @ 12/25/2007 3:46 AM

Indeed, it is THE octopus lamp.

Merry Christmas to everyone. I also want to give a special thank you to Matt for the calendar this year. It brought me Christmas cheer when I needed it most.

Merry Christmas to all of you!

I’ll have to catch up on the AC on Wednesday.

I hope you all get what you want and deserve under the tree and around the dinner table.

Congrats on the octopus lamp! That thing was pretty darn awesome. Isn’t that the thread where everyone was talking about octopi/octopuses/octopoden?

I’ve just watched THREE different Flintstones Christmas specials. Plus A Christmas Story. Jetson’s Christmas special is on right now, but I really gotta go to bed. Everyone else is asleep, which is weird because usually my mother puts all the presents under the tree, and she hasn’t. I guess we’ll haul ‘em out in the morning.

I second the thought that it would be nice to see a quick update from the Advent crew at another point in the year.

Well, good night everyone and have a wonderful, joyful, rabbit-free Christmas! Oh, unless it’s Hssxxlllo – he’s adorkable. MERRY CHRISTMAS to Matt and my fellow X-E’ers, and love to all of you!!!

Okay, the gf and I just exchanged…I am now the proud owner of, among other things, a cigar humidor, Mario Galaxy, and a Pikachu doll the size and general shape of a pillow. Christmas is all about dichotomy.

Hope everyone’s having a merry one!

Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 12/25/2007 5:01 AM

Well, so far the only gift I’ve gotten is a yukata. Probably going to get more in the morning.

Well, I’m sure I owe a lot of people an explanation for my ominous thing in an earlier post here.

I have a weak heart. Since I was a kid, actually. So during a check-up, I’m told that I’ll be lucky to make it to next Christmas.

Now that I’ve had time to reflect on it, and my own nature, and given the nature of the holiday season, I say to hell with that. I may be some ugly cuss, but I’m a survivor. My goal is to not jut make next Christmas, but to the tenth one after that at least.
I may have made a few mistakes in my life, but by God I’m not going down without a fight.
So here’s to the holidays, and the will of man to keep trying, even when it seems hopeless.

Peace out, y’all.

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.’

Rock on, GG

MERRY CHRISTMAS! Here in Michigan it’s 5:50 am. I had trouble sleeping most of the night and just woke up. There’s a big box exactly the dimensions of a PS3 box and it’s real heavy, maybe that would explain why there’s not much under the Tree…

Either way, this is my favorite day of year and I’m thrilled! Thank you so much for the Advent Calendar Matt!

I won’t be opening presents til like 11:00 probablly because my mom likes to wake up at 7:00, make a HUUUUUUUUUGE Breakfast and then let the family open gifts. I’m off to watch A Christmas Story some more.

The Good Guy: Good on you for deciding not to give up!! Doctors are so often wrong about those kinds of predictions anyway.

It’s 6:20 here and there’s little point going into the living room yet, as our rule is no presents until daylight. This usually results in a good-natured argument as to what constitutes “daylight”

Chestnuts roasted by jazzy @ 12/25/2007 7:24 AM

Yay, Christmas! I was up early to watch Yogi, Grinch and The Town Santa Forgot and to unwrap gifts with family, and now it’s rather peaceful until I have to start cooking!

Hope everyone has had a good night and will be having a great morning to wake up to.

Looking forward to the fallout!

I’m BUBBLY!

Good Morning, so far only my dad and I are up, and are watching the very unchristmasy Tora, Tora, Tora. But soon everyone else will be up and it will be present time.

Also yesterday I got a box of toys from ebay. It was like getting a present from me.

To Matt and all, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Chestnuts roasted by Shawn @ 12/25/2007 9:41 AM

Yaaay presents have been opened!! I’ll wait for fallout to go into what I got, but it’s a really nice assortment. Nothing too fancy, but I love everything I got.

I gave my mom an 80s mix CD, so I just spent like an hour assembling a 4,000 piece cat jungle gym to the sounds of Blondie and Culture Club. Very surreal, and very awesome.

Chestnuts roasted by jazzy @ 12/25/2007 9:46 AM

Oh and excuse the double post, but I forgot to say – MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Chestnuts roasted by jazzy @ 12/25/2007 9:47 AM

*passes out* Can’t wait for the Fallout thread. Bet Matt’s is gonna be fucking awesome this year, can’t wait to see the Octopus Lamp!!

Chestnuts roasted by Mystie @ 12/25/2007 10:33 AM

Merry Christmas y’all !! I got up at 5:45 a.m, but then I went back to sleep. Then I got back up at 8:00 and i’m staying awake this time, lol. I’m the only one awake at the moment, so I’ll have to wait to open presents. Very peaceful morning so far though. Until everybody wakes up , you guys will have to keep me company. =)

Oh how I wish I possessed goddamn fucking flamethrowers inside my hollow tube-like arms.

Chestnuts roasted by Kev @ 12/25/2007 10:38 AM

Merry Christmas X-E!

Chestnuts roasted by Dane @ 12/25/2007 10:47 AM

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Chestnuts roasted by def @ 12/25/2007 10:47 AM

Wow, Good Guy, that was really inspiring and good to hear (read?).

Once again, Merry Christmas, all.
