Merry Christmas!

[Fire Daemon]

Here in Aus land it just rolled around to Christmas Day about 41 minutes ago and I figured hey, as long as I am staying up this late listening to movie themes I had might as well wish the Escapist a Merry Christmas and perhaps a happy new year, but we'll see about that. I've noticed that the background is now one of festive cheer which is great in my opinion because I was getting tired of all the blue and white. If you squint hard enough at the title though it looks like it is coated in blood, which is a little bit morbid for Christmas, but seeing as how I'll be killing virtual things later today I don't see why it's important.

Even though I know it's still Christmas Eve in most parts of the globe I figured, 'ehh, a little bit of extra Christmas Cheer couldn't hurt anyone and if anyone gets annoyed they can enjoy their stocking of coal the uptight Grinch'. So enjoy you're holiday Escapists, pick up a chair, sit around with the family, watch Die Hard (the best Christmas movie of all time) and have an all around merry time this Christmas.

Mod note: This is now a thread for all the Christmas Cheer we spread over these forums in the coming days. Other threads will be locked.

Hope you all have a good time.

Political correctability and all...

Oh, and Merry Christmas for all of you too!

Ah, that would be 'Merry Day of Gift Giving' you're thinking of. Although that will probably be replaced with 'Day' for the people who are offended at particular days being signaled out as more important than others, a just complaint in my opinion.

I just naturally squint at things from time to time, but yes I am somewhat bored. Is waiting for Merry Day of Gift Giving to start in earnest ever not boring?
