Well, here we are coming to December, meaning it's almost Christmas, and therefore time to break out in festivity! This year, I present this.
So, discuss your holiday plans.

Charlie Brown: *knock knock knock* Would you like to buy a Christmas wreath? Girl: It's not even Thanksgiving, yet. By the time Christmas comes, all the needles will be falling off. Charlie Brown: Don't hang it near the turkey. *Next door* Charlie Brown: *knock knock knock* Would you like to buy a Christmas wreath? Girl: It isn't even Thanksgiving yet. Charlie Brown: Would you like to buy a Thanksgiving wreath? Girl: *slams door* Charlie Brown:  |

Just one week from today and it'll be December, that's a powerful thought.
Advent Calendar, here I come! ;D

Y'ever get a real one with the chocolates inside? I had one ages ago, then got one again last year. I intend to get another Saturday-Sunday if I can, since I can actually walk to the mall now and Friday's gonna be either Hell or me visiting my grandma, negating the possibility of going for it then, and after that my next day off'll be in December.

Hell yeah! You can pretty much ONLY buy advent calenders with chocs inside here! Except for that one year where every day had a Lego model or character inside. That was awesome!

So, for Thanksgiving the now-extended family came from all over southeastern Michigan to a central Cracker Barrel, where I got my Advent Calendar, then we all went to my place (which is to say "Dad's,") where we all listened to my dad, little sister, and her boyfriend play "What Child is This." Afterwards, we took my older sister home (while the younger one and her boyfriend headed back to our mother's.) Coming home, I decided to haul away for Black Friday shopping at the local mall. Came home with a regular price flash drive, a crappy snowglobe JCPenny's gave away for free to the first 200 customers (I was 5,) a pretzel, and (the best thing I got) a compliment on my hat by a girl lightyears out of my league. And nothing else, not even hot chick's number. Bummer, really. So, that highlights my Christmas-related activities as 0:99 rolls around. |

I would like to see an epic Santa video game. Believe it or not Santa has an awesome history, there are many legends of him fighting evil. I would base this game less on the uncommercialized Santa and more on the old legends of Santa. The bad guy? Why the Krampus of course! That guy is like the Anti-Claus. Krampus is trying to unlock the gates of Hell and it's up to jolly old St. Nicholas to stop him. It's a dark tale on the holidays, kind of like if that crappy Santa Claus movie except... Awesome. |

I'd like to see Zwarte Piet as playable if it were multiplayer. I realize there's a possibility of a negative connotation since he's subserviant to Santa and is black, but being that he's essentially Santa's number 2 man (Santa being number 1,) it makes sense that he'd rank up there.
But that plot, ick. Krampus' presence seems suited for the idea, but not trying to open Hell. It's just so...basic, provided Krampus' demonic nature.
In any case, I'd had an idea for a Santa game once. Felt too weak to carry on with.

They could easily give Zwarte a move modernized design that makes him look less like a racist caricature.

Something like RAINBOW PETE?  (PS: Rainbow Pete sucks, long live the jolly negros) |
