Man, December has been one big blur so far - how's it been for you guys?
>>151554146Same. I've barely got anything done.
>>151554146I've got most of my shopping done, but I don't have many people to get stuff for. Guess that's what happens when your family decides to go crazy after having to spend a few months indoors
>>151554146I had to leave a board games event early because I was completely out of spoons. Then again, me staying up last night until 4am probably didn't help
>>151554146I've been fairly productive, I guess. I've been so busy with my new laptop, I haven't noticed much.
>>151554428Yeah, that'll do it.
>>151554146Jesus it feels like October just ended, where the hell did December come from?
>>151554664Yeah, this year has been one slurry of bullshit
>>151552472When my sister went to Spain, she brought back Caganers for everyone, I got a shitting C3P0. If I finally get off my ass and get my shelves done, I might take a pic and post it, if there's interest.

Tonight was Snowman Night for me:>Frosty the SnowmanWhat else could I say that hasn't already been said a dozen times? It's charm and magic helps it to hold up even 56 years later. Don't have much a review for this but again I don't wanna be too samey, so I'll just get to the main event.>The SnowmanI wanted to wait for the Xmas Eve stream. I really did. But I couldn't. This is a genuine contender for the greatest animated short of all time. Phenomenal use of pantomime, accompanied by a beautiful score that goes from jovial and magical to sweeping and grand depending on what the characters are doing. Impressive how such a complete story can be told with no dialogue. But of course, those who've seen The Snowman can't bring it up without bringing up the iconic "Walking Through the Air" sequence. I still get chills every time I see it. This short already has stellar animation, perfectly replicating the original book by Raymond Briggs, but this scene goes ALL OUT. This must've taken ages. They even made the northern lights look more natural and not just colored like the rest. So much care and passion was put into this its unreal...well, it kinda is. The book, and by extension, the short, was made in honor of Briggs' late wife. May she rest in peace. I say honor is an understatement. This is a masterpiece. An actual work of art, a grand showcase of animation as a medium for storytelling and a heartfelt tribute. I am not exaggerating. See it for yourself if you think I am.Now that I mentioned the Christmas Eve stream, I have some news for Skeletal. Remember when I said I managed to find the original 1985 airing of Garfield's Halloween Adventure? Well, it got better. I just found the original 1987 airing containing A Garfield Christmas AND Claymation Christmas Celebration!https://archive.org/details/claymationchristmas480pIf you're interested in using this for the stream, it's all yours!
>>151554146Got slammed with snow yesterday but mostly it's just been sort of surviving. My siblings live far away so gifts are mostly little care packages. The only people I really shop for are my parents and nephews. I admit I'm not really feeling it as far as holiday cheer goes. But I guess fake it till you make it.
Nervously waiting for all the missing regular names to come back.
>>151557887For Frosty, I usually wait for it to air on TV (NBC is airing tomorrow) but yeah it's fun I love the sequel to the Snowman too, the Snowman and the Snowdog makes a nice double feature with the original.
>>151553486Okay, where is the link of the previous thread and the cheer streams schedule?

Good week so far although this week is extremely time-consuming work-wise. Been on some projects and I'm still thinking about how to distribute my remaining days of vacation. Also planning some Christmas market meetups for the weekend while trying to squeeze a trip to my barbershop inbetween one of my breaks>>151554410I really need to start looking for Christmas presents. My family has been thinking about stopping the gifting but I just can't not get something for everyone>>151556293September was the coolest month until I came back from vacation. Then, everything was a speedrun. Four places in four weeks in October and three were work related. Hated two of those trips so much>>151555618Mr E, is that you?>>151556871Santa is robbing yo ass!
>>151559002>>151559016Apreciate it. Thanks
https://www.youtube.com/@HasTVCharm/videosThis channel has uploaded a certain movie that cannot be named in HD recently. It was streamed last year.
It's raining again. I guess it's not unexpected, I live too close to the Gulf Stream, we're getting a proper winter maybe once every five years over here. At least it's supposed to let up by the time I'm leaving for work.No such luck tomorrow, and apparently we're getting scattered lacks of showers for the next week or so as well.
>>151557996They're with us in spirit

December 4th is Topou I Day in Tonga, celebrating both the birth and the start of the reign of George Topou I, the first king of modern Tonga (as opposed to Tu'i Tonga) - separated by 48 years, it's not like he became king at birth.Since it's another tropical island, you'd be hard-pressed to find a spruce or any other kind of conifer around, so Tongans usually decorate any old tree (or palm) they've got growing in their back yard, using sweets, balloons and paper chains. In lieu of Christmas lights, Tongans arrange coconut husks and light them on fire in what is known as Tutukupakanava (since I couldn't find a decent photo of that, I had to instead use one of Tupakapakanava, a ceremony of lighting torches). And if you demand that fireworks be noisy as well as well, you can always go for fana pitu, where bamboo shoots are filled with kerosene and used kind of like a cannon. That's more for New Year's though.As for food, the feast is oftentimes prepared in an umu, an underground pit oven using hot stones. Mainstays include roast pork, lū-pulu, kumalas and ufi (Tongan sweet potatoes and yams).
>>151560789Just wanted to say how much I appreciate you doing these
>>151559959Sucks to hear that, rain is the worst. Just went to the barbershop and it was cold but sunny as hell outside. Just noticed that a winter is so much better when there are no clouds outside and you can feel the sun on your skin
>>151555564Why does this work so well
>>151556134God I hated that episode.Close the doors for fucks sake. You were in the middle of a chase.
>>151553486Christmas is highly satanic, you should celebrate Jesus' birth on your bleeding knees instead of worshipping SATAN claus
>>151561078You mean SANDY CLAWS?!
>>151561239Well, that's one a hell of an opening line.
>>151553486God, I want to kiss in the lips, under the mistletoe with Nermal! <3 <3 <3And then fuck Nermal! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
>>151559053Nope, not Mister E. You can tell by the fact that "I showed him mine" when I told him how amused I was by his.Besides, that sly riddle man is never amusing!!!

all i want for christmas is you sluts to let me fuck you... how about it?
I come bearing tidings of great joy! An extended version of Beavis and Butthead Do Christmas! (Uh, huh-huh-huh. "Extended.")This includes both Xmas episodes from 95, plus the letters to Santa Butthead, and all music video reactions from Very Special Christmas! I'll admit, the editing isn't perfect, but that's not exactly what I was going for, I just thought it'd be convenient to have everything in one spot.https://mega(DOT)nz/file/1vhgwKAS#0YOxLc5wKmansJOqfG8hAIuNqkGtoh5v5DBvmekjK6o

>>151555248Let's see... this story first appeared in 1948, so taking inflation into account the blue trees would be $208.63, the red ones $282.75 and the rose/strawberry pink trees would be an eye-watering $357.15!
>>151555255>>151567834Oh, and the gold tree would've been $539.09Can't say I blame Donald for being frugal...
>>151556515>>151556537Pretty muchhttps://www.seriesam.com/barks/detc_ccus_os0203-02.html>In a letter to a fan dated March 22, 1961, Barks wrote: "I felt sourly about the finished story because the editors had made me do some changes in the fight sequences between Don and the witch that I thought took the guts out of the story. I still gag when I read the last two pages of the story. But the rest of the tale was robust enough.">For Barks' editors, Christmas was an especially touchy comedy subject. Not only because it was a religious holiday, but also because it was supposed to be a time of selflessness and good cheer. In harmony with this sentiment, Barks' editors sent him a "preachy" story about Donald defeating a wicked witch who threatens to destroy all the Christmas trees in the world in an effort to extinguish the Christmas spirit. >>151567834>>151567924¡AY CHIHUAHUA!
>>151567834>>151567924>HDL seriously wanted Donald to drop the equivalent of half a grand on a fucking TREEGod damn, what a bunch of little cunts

>>151554146Good. Watched some Christmas stuff like Olive the Other Reindeer.I’ve also been playing Winter Burrow. A fun little game with a cool art style.Still need to listen to more Christmas songs.
>>151568698Thanks for storytiming!
>>151568819>Winter BurrowDamn, that looks like a really interesting game
>>151554146Just watching Christmas stuff and collecting myself. It's been a very rough year for me and I just want to manage my stress
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuxJdyYkpJk
>>151569036Got any tips or strategies for managing stress?
>>151569092Man, seeing those two freak out over something I could get at a gas station for $4 has been so weird
>>151569124In my expirence, unironically touching grass and learning to enjoy what you like without the voices in your head or online saying otherwise. I don't think it's much of revelation to say a lot of stress comes from not just this shithole, but staying connected to everywhere on the internet 24/7. I know its easier said than done these days, but it really does help.
>>151569393I live next to a reservoir, and I used to walk around it, watching the birds and stuff.I need to start doing that again.
>>151569188tbf, it did seem pretty damn flimsy and cheap. Plus I'm pretty sure flick knives are illegal in the UK.

>>151569726FROSTY ON NEXT
>>151568638Thanks again. How many of these do you have up your sleeve? Did Eisner do them annually?
Okay here's the thing I mentioned that would take some effortI mentioned a French comic advent calendar last year, and recently I look the rip for it.I'm not good at hard translating text soI'm gonna be putting all the translation here
>>151570569"I know what you did!""The naughty children are missing from my list!""Release them now!"
>>151570597"NO! It's my turn to take care of this!"Help us!" "Help""What they need is a REAL punishment!""I won't let you get away with this!"Last lines in Finnish and roughly means " Let the blizzard winds blow upon you" I'm keeping it separate since it's in universe foreign
>>151570671"You'll regret this!""Run, children!""Now this a real Christmas meal!"
>>151570689"Thank you children!""And now it's time for your present!"The end! I might do more depending on reactions.
>>151570597I like the art style
>>151559053My little baby is still regrowing and will need more time, sorry babe. >>151561078COULD IT BE SATAN!My inner Enid is so happy!It's a Festivus Miracle, her two happiest holy days in one, Satan Claus and the birth of the Baby Jesus.Although Jesus was just extradited, so there is that.>>151564319The boxes in my head took a vote and agreed that "Multiple Entries" were an "acceptable" mode of participation for the holiday Chicken Dinner Winner Winner. Just remember, there can be only one.
Are there any good Christmas webcomics? In print it seems obligatory to have a Christmas issue.
>>151571054You'd be hard-pressed to find a webcomic that didn't at least do some festive art for the season. I don't have anything on hand, but I'll try to find a few fun ones
Tonight I saw the original 1966 short of How the Grinch Stole Christmas. I honestly think we underestimate Seuss' rhyming skills, I really think not many could pull it off. I like the way the Grinch is animated - he moves so fluidly but also sharply, and this combined with his facial expressions really tell you that he's a force to be reckoned with. Also I immediately tip my hat to ANY Christmas special where the message is "fuck the presents, love your family and feel the magic," because togetherness and caring and giving really is Christmas.I wanted to watch another short but I've had some work to do.

Yesterday we focused on a country spread over a bunch of islands, today we focus on an island with a bunch of countries (well, okay, just two). December 5th is Discovery Day in Hispaniola, the home of Haiti and the Dominican Republic, celebrating the day Columbus first landed there in 1492 (also Rama IX Memorial Birthday in Thailand).Dominicans share a lot of traditions with other Spanish-speaking countries: Misa del Gallo (Rooster Mass, the one at midnight after Christmas Eve), gifts from the Magi in January, cleaning and sometimes painting your house (I guess that's not a strictly Panama tradition after all). The Christmas Eve feast when families gather is called "Noche Buena", and you can find roast pork and chicken on the table, as well as rice with pigeon peas, Pasteles en hojas (meat-stuffed banana leaves), Russian salad (hell if I know where that comes from, Polish communities across the border?) or plantain lasagne. Instead of Christmas trees, a house is decorated with Charamicos, artisan wooden trees (I know all trees are wooden, but you know what I mean. Pic related), typically painted white so there's at least some "White Christmas", as well as poinsettias. And on top of the gifts from the Magi, Dominicans also engage in "Angelitos", which is their version of Secret Santa.In Haiti the midnight mass actually comes first, and then it's time for the feast, called Reveillon - fried goat, griot (pork marinated in orange juice), more rice with pigeon peas, upside-down pineapple cake and Kremas, rum-based drink similar to eggnog. Meanwhile, the kids leave their shoes, filled with straw, for Tonton Nwèl, who replaces the straw with gifts. As for decorations, Haitians are known for Fanals, paper lanterns.After partying hardy throughout the night, Christmas Day is mostly spent sleeping it off.And on New Year, which doubles as Independence Day, Haitian eat soup joumou as a "fuck you" to their former masters, who were the only ones allowed to eat it.

Howdy, folks! It's been a...hectic week, to say the least. But I am here with an anchor post for new stream suggestions. And to remind you guys that the next stream is in about 6 hours!
>>151578092tbf, there's only so many stories you can do about regular Christmas stuff, so good on Barks for getting a little off-beat
>>151578141I get it - the past 24 hours alone have been a rollercoaster of emotions for me. Hope things get less intense for you!
This is the brand new (non-reprint) story by Parent and inked by Bob Smith from this week's Archie holiday one shot, featuring Kardak the M̶a̶g̶i̶c̶i̶a̶n̶ Mystic01/05
>>15157848702/05yes, yes, exactlytwo pictures of cooties filled little girls, just what lil archie wants from sandy claws
>>15157849903/05lil girls fighting over boys just like trad wives in waiting everywhere should
>>15157851704/05and of course pictures of cooties filled girls in 'great frames' are the bestest of all possible gifts for lil boys!
>>15157855205/05poor kardak, cooties must have infested himFIN>inb4 yes, yes, exactly I do have cooties on my brains
>>151578487Huh, it seems Kardak is a character all the way back in 1939, back when Archie was called MLJ. Archie gave him his own one-shot last year, which was nice of them.
>>151578141https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUdKI_gZ7e8I honestly can't think of any Christmas suggestions that haven't been seen before.
>>151578141Not sure if this was already suggested, maybe yes.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoIwIyKL1hE
>>151578648Neat! I guess this was their attempt to rip off Zatara
>>151579153Well, it'd more likely be their attempt to rip off Mandrake the Magician
>>151579299Damn, I forgot he was a thing
>>151579370tbf, so does everyone else. He's one of those characters everyone knows about, but nobody's read his stuff except maybe out of curiosity.
>>151578648
>>151578141>in about 6 hours!4 PM on the best coast???I'll still be running around, trying to chase down cheap remaindered droids for the holidays!!!I guess, if A Very Venture Christmas is kicking the evening off, I won't be joining y'all after all since it be closer to 9 PM EST that I'll actually be home and relaxed enough.I might still do my bourbon and catch up with something else but I'll at least pop in the room and see if I can keep up with the chat for more than two minutes!
>>151579487Yeah... I guess the fact that he doesn't actually do magic does limit his appeal these days
>>151579627>Mandrake the Magician>doesn't actually do magicWait, what?
>>151579729iirc he can teleport and turn invisible, but most of the time he "gestures hypnotically" and people just think he's done something cool
>>151569393That makes sense. All my grass is covered in pretty snow right now though.>>151570597Why is Santa picking on Krampus??
>>1515781418pm, choices choices choices p, either it’s this stream or watching Rudolph on NBC

>>151553723>The advent calendar challenge is commencing in approximate jingling parameters, and each tiny door contains a mystery object of festive improbability. Participants are instructed to unwrap Day Number Items in sequential chrono-slots. The challenge objective is simple: maintain cheer‐level above minimum threshold, even if the instructions become slightly misaligned from reality.>An Australian aviator, Lieutenant Harris, is tasked with transporting a mysterious stone tablet near the end of World War II. But during the flight a supernatural storm engulfs the plane, warping nature’s laws and forcing the aircraft into the ocean — the crew emerges in a strange mist-shrouded zone littered with wrecks of ships from different eras. Back on the ground, no one believes Harris’s story: he’s court-martialled, jailed — and then escapes to track down lost pieces of the tablet. Together with the daughter of a kidnapped clergyman, they race a villainous military officer to recover the tablet and prevent him from using its power.>A weird, mythical creature who once lived peacefully in nature has been driven into isolation when urban sprawl destroyed his home. As his food supply dwindles and odd, hostile townsfolk begin to encroach, he is confronted by a bigoted man and forced into extreme measures to survive. What follows is less a traditional narrative than a sequence of strange, surreal, and often grotesque encounters — the creature battles crayfish infestations, freaky visitors, and mounting paranoia.
>>151569092>A young girl living among nomadic stilt-walkers in a vast desert sets out on a quest when her companion is abducted by a mysterious aerial entity that inexplicably drops gargantuan replicas of household objects from the sky. Accompanied by an ancient woman who narrates their journey, the girl travels across the dunes to a forbidden city where the inhabitants have formed a cult around a surviving mail-order catalog, worshiping its consumerist imagery as divine scripture.
>>151581492>A famed detective disappears after confronting a sinister, mirror-masked killer. A young journalist takes it upon himself to finish the investigation — digging into a series of bizarre murders linked to lightning strikes, occult experiments, and a diabolical plot involving virgin blood used to craft magical masks that steal souls to grant eternal youth.

>>151553486I’m watching the Community Christmas episodes. They’re so good. Then onto YouTube for some Christmas nostalgia channels and watch more 90s cartoons.
>>151581636>>151581810>>151581911???
>>151582144Nice. I love Donald Duck cartoons.
You ever stop how downright mythical Santa Claus actually is and everyone accepts it?Think about it, an old wise man at the top of the world, who flies in a sleigh driven by magical deer, out to reward the good and punish the wicked, all with the help of his countless elves, out in what many consider to be a sacred night of the year.
>>151582283They're the descriptions for each video - they're supposedly all generated with AI
No better Christmas feeling than wrapping up in a blanket with a warm cup of coco.
>>151582398
>>151582410Oh, fair enough. I always miss fun details like that
>>151582398You accept it as a kid, because it's about par with all the other stuff like the Tooth Fairy or the Easter Bunny. You're just more open to whimsical nonsense at that age.
ONE HOUR til the spooky Krampusnacht stream!
>>151582699SO EXCITED
>>151582689I like their clock is a pocket watch.
>>151582736Is that suppose to be a horsefly?
>>151581366It might just region locked for you or something
>>151582948Probably. I don't think it's meant to be that deep.
>>151581366>>151582959YeppersWorks fine for me in burgerland
>>151582689I remember reading Bucky Bug in Walt Disney Comics & Stories under IDW's run, and I remember being so underwhelmed. So many fun one-page stories from Disney comics around the world, and instead they use this twee b.s.
>>151554146Its been going.
>>151582557This is true, but it's also something we just accpet as part of culture without a second thought. We think of Santa as something whimsical, and a lttle goofy, but not something mythical or epic, which he kinda is. Again, think about everything posted and compare it to other parts of Nordic mythology and folklore.
>>151582557Santa's got a stronger mythos then either of those two. Nobody can really make sense of why fairies collect teeth or what bunnies have to do with eggs and Jesus's death, you can kinda just do whatever with them. Santa on the other hand remains very consistent across the board even with him constantly being reinterpreted in different ways.
>>151583227>>151583230KEK
>>151583238That was a good one.
>>151583227>>151583230Did anything like this ever happen to anyone here? I remember my dad sometimes playing slot cars with me outside of Christmas, but he never hogged anything on the big day.
TONIGHT ON THE SPOOKY STREAMCHRISTMAS EDITIONToday is Krampusnacht, the evening before the Feast of St. Nicholas, meaning that the legendary creature, he who punishes the naughty, roams the streets. Tonight, we celebrate this bizarre, but beloved creature with a collection of Christmas spooks! First, Krampus himself is summoned to crash the Christmas party of Dr. Venture and associates!Our first movie, celebrating its ten-year anniversary, a follow up to the Spooktober classic, Trick r Treat, reinterprets this monster as a twisted incarnation of all that is Christmas, to punish those who are cruel and selfish enough to destroy one’s faith in hope and good will. Presented in its unrated edition, it’s KRAMPUS, the 2015 movie.Next, hosted by none other than a special Christmas guest star, Joe Bob Briggs, we see the story of Ricky, the brother of Billy Chapman, a traumatized boy who became a brutal killer in Santa’s skin. After so much horror in their lives, Billy threatens to snap and follow his bro’s footsteps, in SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT: PART 2. (Why are we skipping Part 1? Trust me, we aren’t. You’ll see.)Finally, a lighter end to our haunts, in which Lord Hater and his troops are plagued by a terror onboard their battleship, one who is transforming the malicious and stupid troops into a state of happiness with rampant gift-giving!Please note, due to the length of our movies, this stream will only have one intermission between films.Stream Link: cy(delete this part)tu(DOT)be(slash)r(slash)SkeletalStreamer
>>151583377Awesome
>>151583377>Krampus is turning 10 years oldMan...
>>151583623>>151583630>Jim LeeHoly shit!
>>151583793Awesome
I’d hop on stream to watch Krampus but alas skelly they’ve got Rudolph coming on NBC and I can’t miss tradition, I might hop by tomorrow but I’ve also been quite busy for the wonderful season
>>151584092Fair enough, my guy. Always prioritize the family traditions.
>>151584166Indeed, it’s on right now if anyone wants to watch tv
>>151583880Huh... didn't know he worked for Solson
>>151584092same!
Oh goody, it's the eighth night of your daily dose of Christmas cartoonsToday is for the Disney fanshttps://archive.org/details/on-ice-1935-restoredhttps://archive.org/details/santas-workshop-1932-hd-uncensored
>>151584351Love these, thank you so much!
I never understood why the Boss Elf's voice was raised like, 2 whole octaves when he spoke to Santa in that one scene.
>>151584501Some anon years ago thought it’s because he didn’t want to raise his voice in front of him and knew the North Pole pecking order
Fun trivia, Yukon was originally to have sung silver and gold, that’s why the songs motif was heard on his scenes occasionally
NGL a cowboy on an ostrich sounds fantastical as fuck
>>151584805I would have wanted one
>>151583377Bumping, Silent Night 2 with Joe Bob in 15 mins!
I gotta say the snowmonster is much smaller than everyone remembers, he’s tiny compared to the original King Kong
It was very refreshing seeing the ending credits again after years of seeing Freeform skipping them entirely, like last year’s 60th anniversary airing NBC didn’t skip them and that’s the way it should be
>>151584351That 'Mammy!' has remained a precious memory.
>>151584493glad youre watching along
>>151585145It's certainly memorable
>>151585106Freeform airs the credits, that was CBS that wasn't, Freeform was the first to air that peppermint scene for the first time in like 50 something years
>>151585502Huh, I always remember them fast forwarding them to make way for home alone lol, but yes they were in fact the first to air the peppermint mine scene that was for a long period of time missing, honestly I think subsequent airings following its first should’ve kept it, the whole thing went over everyone’s heads where in the DTV cgi sequel he was literally finding a silver and gold mine, good god the animation looks much worse than I remember lol
>>151585106It's crazy that they did it for so long
>>151585602Yeah Freeform used to have to air the full credits since the couldn't air it on Youtube TV etc. until last year. So they had let the credits play then let the next movie start after
>>151584708Huh... neat!

Tonight I saw:>Rudolph the Red-Nosed ReindeerHear that, folks? Your differences are good only if they can be useful to others! Oh, and the North Pole might be authoritarian!...Okay, that aside, this one is always pretty fun. It's very quotable, has a lot of charm, good songs, and honestly great stop motion for the 60s. Some movements seem impossible without modern technology like the flying and some fluid camerawork, but nope! Though some have overanalyzed some aspects as above, we can't deny this one really is unique! Much better than the silly false ones. WAHOOOOO!*pick* *lick* ...Nothin'...>Father ChristmasRaymond Briggs with another grand win right here. My personal favorite incarnation of Santa, because he's far more grounded and human. He partakes in the same pleasures and inconveniences as we do. Heck, even the way he works is much more real, and it makes the annual trip more impressive and commendable as a result. He feels much more like he could actually exist than other Santas.A merry bloomin' Saturday to you, anons!
>>151587475NTA but I never thought it was b...well yeah it's horrid, but fuck is it entertaining. Most of the garbage comes from the main Life Day plot, everything else ranges from meh to actually good. I still think fondly of the cartoon and the Cantina scene.
>>151587480I don't like it when the dry cleaning lady asks if Santa is off to a fancy dress party and he rudely says "I should be so bloomin' lucky". Made me dislike him a tad ngl
>>151587521Such is the power of Bea Arthur

Thanks to all who joined tonight's somewhat spooky stream. Tomorrow is back to traditional Christmas fare...mostly. Still doing a pair of action movies set at Christmas, can't help myself.
>>151587678Appreciate the stream man!
Are we still posting in this thread if we gift someone? Looking for the protocol this year.
>>151587859No we are dropping and gifting (anything that references the WL numbers) at the other place, on the companion thread. People have also been posting the usual pictures (or problems in two cases) there as well.
>>151587678Yep 'preciated
>>151587890Where's that? Last question
>>151588023sorry, was making some food.it's the alternative to 4chan for when 4chan isn't available. During that huge hack in April, people rediscovered it. But some of the old timers remember it.think p l u s before the number

You HAVE gotten everyone their presents... right?
>>151590751I'm "lucky" in that I don't have to buy family, but I still need to get my irl friends some stuff
>>151590751Most of them. I'm stuck on what to get for my mother that isn't shitty Harry Potter merch. Maybe Wonder Woman shit. I'm waiting to get more gifts until after some bills get paid, and until the Steam Winter Sale.
>>151590751I have purchased all the gifts I am required to, yes, including for a random anon.So last night, I bought myself somethings, thank you very much. Since I am not expecting but two people to even notice me.
