[video] and a partridge in a pear tree
[Cissie has her ugly Christmas sweater on, and is wearing the Shaun Mason made her for Christmas. She is clearly hanging out by the giant edible tree in the entrance.]
This is my first Christmas in Wonderland, and you know, I've been hearing all of these horror stories about Christmas here, and I've been bracing myself, just waiting for something to go wrong or weird. I mean, don't get me wrong, the gingerbread everything... took some getting used to. And the cookies have been questionable. But in terms of Wonderland? [She shrugs. Things could be worse. She's just not foolish enough to say that part out loud.]
I totally get that there is still time for things to go bad on us, but honestly? I'm tired of sitting around waiting for the worst to happen. We're all stuck here, we're probably missing people from home and traditions we're missing out on. I've never really had much in the way of holiday traditions, and the last few years have pretty much been just me stuck in my dorm room, so I've been thinking.
What holiday traditions are you missing, and how can we adapt them and make something like them happen here? Because I bet we can get creative and make some of them happen. I mean, I know suggesting we make our own traditions is just kind of inviting trouble, not to mention that we don't want to be around for traditions to happen... but we are here, and we may as well make the best of it? If you have been here and have some traditions, please share them too! Non-Christmas holiday traditions are also obviously welcome.
Also, true story: the twelve days of Christmas actually start on Christmas, so. "It's over, why bother" isn't going to be an acceptable answer. [A pause, and a wince.] ...Okay, in light of. Where we are. Let's just forget I said that last thing.
