Here are the two 'center pieces' in my xmas decorations:


The tree is in my living room, and the wreath is in my dining room.

Just to let you know, @Gywall is banned under his own request. That's all I can really say.

Santa realizes the market value of coal and now gives naughty kids empty boxes instead.

Well boxes still indicate care. How about Reindeer excrement? I am sure he has a lot of it, and it's very hard to clean!

I've done the "find the gift" thing before. Where the first box just has information or a silly gift.. Than it takes while for them to find the real gift. Heh.

I've never run into this personally, but I am not surprised. Yeah we should make sure all html style/tables are closed properly. Also I think private messages rendering is still handled a bit separately from how normal posts are. We should make sure it's all the same renderer (with the obvious exceptions) so changes are universal.

Or what about the "slightly smaller gift" chain so some poor sucker has to unwrap like 12 boxes to get to some small present?

Especially if you get that clear sticky-backed plastic to wrap one. That makes it evil to open.

Do hat until you get to the point where you have a very small locked box with a combo lock on it. That lock's combo is a large 3 part math problem. When you open it it you find a note inside. That note is a cross word puzzle and an incomplete sentence. When you complete the puzzle (or enough of it if you can read between the lines) "🎁Your gift is under the couch. Have a nice day!😄"

Some caveats on this. I would only do it with someone with a sense of humor, or someone you hate/are friendemys with. If you wanted to be an utter douchebag asshole you repeat this with the gift under the couch too. Also make it worth their while. If you give them a B&W photocopy of a 1 dollar bill or something in that vein expect to be killed on sight. (rightly so)

See.. coal can be burned, so that can recover some value. Time can not be recovered. That's how Santa will screw the naughty at Xmas!

One of the only things I like about this time is lights and decorations. So now that I own my own house I love being able to do it. (Thought I don't do anything ridiculous..) I want maximum display time so I try to get it up as soon as time allows as I don't like having anything up past the first week of Jan at the latest.

I've added SM64, NSMB, and NSMBWII. (after I fixed something of course)

Thanks for saying something. I've removed them all so barring any typos..

You're welcome.

Well I guess I don't have to make that joke now heh.

Law of mistletoe states you have the choice of kissing, or a fight until one (or both) are unconscious, forfeit, or die. (Most people don't celebrate that part.. it's too messy.)

If I remember correctly it's an English tradition where the aristocrats of a manner/etc change places with the servants/subordinates for a day. No idea why it's called boxing day...
