Hello everypony! its me SkyRaze! I hope everypony is smiling and happy with Christmas just around the corner! i am certainly hyped up for it! Everyone Spend Christmas a little bit differently than others, and it just makes me wonder "how does everypony else celebrate the holidays?" I will use myself as an example: Before Christmas, around 10:30-11:00 pm, my parents allow me and my brother to open up one present, but only something small. When we open our first gift before Christmas, we have to make a wish, a selfless wish, something that helps everypony else. It has been a tradition since i was 6.(im currently 17 FYI) another tradition we do is make these honey drops, an Italian entree that serves as a snack and a very beautiful center piece for a table. We also ALWAYS, and i mean ALWAYS make a gingerbread house then on Christmas morning, devour it. last year we made a 3 foot tall gingerbread house, our biggest yet! We also have a small tradition of reading out loud who our present is from and read out any letters we get. Christmas is one of the happiest times of my life, and i hope it is for everyone else. I am also curios to know what people put on their Christmas wishlist, i am sure someone made a thread about it already, but i could never find it, so if you want to, you can put your Christmas wish list here too. My wish list: New mid to full tower computer case New shoes New Back Pack new desktop Microphone New Wallet A way to thank each and every person on EP.
If there's one thing I'm not, it's traditional. I HATE the nativity story, I HATE carols and I'd rather be alone than with my family. Two things I look forward to are the food, and the presents. If it snowed, that'd be a bonus. But, yeah, I go through Christmas purely for the cultural side of it. I'm extremely irreligious (and I mean EXTREMELY). Moj list vishov: 3DS Skyrim Not much, really.
I usually have a cup of hot chocolate on christmas morning followed by a lobster for lunch and the TRADITIONAL ROYAL CANTERLOT christmas dinner. Bring the dogs inside for the season and give them their presents, a nice big beef bone for them to nom on. Wishlist: Headband portable headphones Some new pyjamas yeah I wasn't very demanding this year Fortunately, New Years is the Big event, family comes over and we get a bunch of bottles of whatever (Coke, Budweiser, Becks) and stuff it all in a bucket of ice in the living room, whilst we watch the new years proceedings followed by the Jools Holland show on BBC1, oh and we have to stand outside and take the "First breath of [insert year here] air!"
I wake up just as I do every Christmas morning to a hot, and tasty, cup of coffee. (Peppermint Twist with a touch of vanilla. Mmmm...) I help my mother finish up with cooking the Christmas brunch, and I get all cleaned and primped up for when my grandfather shows up. Once he does, we all eat the tasty meal at hand and then we exchange and open our gifts. My wishlist: - A special little Vinyl Scratch hoodie a friend made. - Some of the FiM ponies from Target. - A wonderful new year. :3
When I was younger I would wake up at 6 AM and be the first awake. Now I'm the last person awake. There's no youth in my family, I'm the last of my line so Christmas isn't that big of a deal. My mom has no job right now and we have no money so this Christmas we bought a thirteen dollar tree and decorated it with popcorn and cranberries and hung pine cones that we covered in glitter on it. It's a beautiful little tree. Christmas day will be spent watching Christmas movies from Blockbuster rented using my grandmother's blockbuster card, for as I said earlier no job or money to afford it ourselves. So this Christmas won't be all that flamboyant but it'll still be special because It'll just be me and my mom... Wish List: My mom to be accepted for this job she applied for
I see this as the true spirit of Christmas, even wehn a family has no money or job or anything to keep them warm and bellies full, you find a way to spend Christmas together, make each other happy, and celebrate the time of year where everyone is a family. I feel proud to know you now, i wish i could give you a big hug and leave you an envelope filled with 150 dollars for you to spend on what you like. This is the best i can do: *hugs tightly and hooves Blize a cup of warm cocoa*
For me, it's always a christmas tradition to leave a mince pie, some milk and a carrot for santa and his reindeer. I wake up about 6am and sit talking with my sister until 10 to 7. We make our parents a tea/coffee, then wait for them to come downstairs. We count the presents and then start opening them while listening to christmas music plays, taking turns or all as a group (depending on the number). Once the presents are open, we call the family and friends to thank them for the presents and try some of them out. My mother and sister start preparing the food while someone prepares the DVD, then we all sit down to watch a Muppets Christmas Carol (because Michael Caine, Gonzo, Rizzo and the songs are that awesome. When the food is ready, we sit down to eat, a prawn cocktail to start before a large and festive christmas meal (where I'm forced to have a 2 sprout minimum, eeyuck >.>), we consider having dessert but pronounce ourselves too full. We get a drink and then sit down to watch the Doctor Who christmas special. After that... well, that varies, so I can't say. As for a christmas wish... I wish that the spirit of christmas is kept throughout the year in what we do and how we act as bronies. I think the spirit of christmas and spirit of bronies are quite similar, so I hope that we can keep that spirit going in what we do and say. Now to quote the aforementioned film; "It is the season of the spirit. The message, if we hear it, is make it last all year." Merry christmas everypony. =3
I LOVE prawns, seriously. The problem with it is that none of my family like them, so I don't get a prawn cocktail, which is sad.
Traditions are too mainstream. For that matter, Christmas is too mainstream, so we do New Year's Eve instead. Not to mention Christmas in Russia is on the 7th of January. We win at calendar. In any case, wish list. Graphics Tablet. I need them notes taking in school. Oh, and doodling on them, but I don't win at art.
We celebrate Christmas just as a small family, then later we go to my Grandmother's house to have a bigger Christmas with my extended family. OH CRAP I FORGOT TO GET MY COUSINS A CHRISTMAS PRESENT GGSDIUSDHG NEED TO FIND SOMETHING USED BUT STILL FUN
Half eaten donuts!! that always works! better yet! put a half eaten doughnut in a full doughnut! that just makes it so much more better!
