Ditto for what I said last year.

Hmmm...that's not very sincere, is it?

*sighs*

Well, it may be Christmas for some, but it's Festivus for the rest of us!

Okay, channeling Seinfeld isn't very appropriate either.

In any case, I'd loike to leave you wif' anotha Jethro Tull Christmas song -- in keepin' wif' th' season 'n' all, and wif' me previously posted pla'itudes. Lor' bless you and your'n.

Through long December nights we talk in words of rain or snow,
while you through chattering teeth reply and curse us as you go.
Why not spare a thought this day for those who have no flame
to warm their bones at Christmas time?
Say Jack Frost and the Hooded Crow.

Now as the last broad oak leaf falls, we beg consider this:
there's some who have no coin to save for turkey, wine or gifts.
No children's laughter round the fire, no family left to know.
So lend a warm and a helping hand:
say Jack Frost and the Hooded Crow.

As holly pricks and ivy clings, your fate is none too clear.
The Lord may find you wanting, let your good fortune disappear.
All homely comforts blown away and all that's left to show
is to share your joy at Christmas time
with Jack Frost and the Hooded Crow.

Through long December nights we talk in words of rain or snow,
while you, through chattering teeth, reply and curse us as you go.
Why not spare a thought this day for those who have no flame
to warm their bones at Christmas time?
Say Jack Frost and the Hooded Crow.

This is what went through my mind:


Person 1: Pippin Christmas. Stop discriminating him.

Person 2: But they're both Hobbits from the East of the Brandywine. Aragorn Christmas, anyone?

P1: But they're both humans. That's discrimination. How about Legolas Christmas?

P2: Or Gimli Christmas?

P3: This is getting ridiculous... why even bother sticking to Tolkien? How about an Eönwë Christmas?

P1 and P2: *simultaneously* Uh... that is Tolkien...

P3: I meant the BDer

*spirals off into insanity*

I thought you were going to go for Another Christmas Song (Or was that your plan for next year?), but I suppose this one works just as well.

Actually, my friends and I (when I started doing this six years ago, so no "come up with that" tomfoolery out of you!) decided to appropriate all the other characters to all the other holidays (real or imagined) that exist throughout the year.

So I expect all of you to wish your friends a very William Huggins Arbor Day this coming year.

I meant come up with the idea of writing it on this thread rather than come up with it in the first place.
