[Here we have Beastboy broadcasting from his new apartment in the Hope District. It actually looks pretty tidy which is surprising to anyone who knows Beastboy and how messy he can be. Rita is in the backround fiddling with her keyboard and Chili is sitting on the sofa sipping a cup of tea]
HEY THERE DUDES!
[The noise startles Chili and she almost fumbles her tea, shooting a glare at Beastboy and shuffling to the side trying to get off camera.]
So according to my little calender here you know what today is?!
[Rita pipes up from her side of the screen]
Sunday?
[Beastboy rolls his eyes, Chili smirks]
No dude! It's December 1st! And that means Christmas is just 24 short days away! Hope you've started shopping!
But the marketplace was mostly destroyed. And what are you shopping for?
Presents!
[Beastboy pulls on a rope and some decorations fall from the ceiling including a wreath, some colorful lights, a Santa hat on Rita, an Elf hat on Chili and a whiteboard that Beastboy has drawn some Christmas images on]
For those of you who don't know, in my world we have this EPIC holiday called "Christmas!" It happens every December 25th and you take the whole day to party, spend time with friends and family, give each other gifts and eat lots of yummy food!
Oh that sounds nice.
It sure is! We can play games and tell stories and there's all kinds of great traditions! Like Santa Claus!
Santa who?
Santa is this super powered dude who can travel across space and time and delivers gifts to all the good little boys and girls around the world! To thank him you leave out a palate of milk and cookies and he puts gifts in your stockings and under your tree!
He puts gifts in our socks?
What tree?
Oh boy...you guys have no idea do you!?
[He's gesturing wildly at the board]
See you hang up stockings on your wall, over a fireplace if you have one. Then Santa comes and puts little gifts in them. And you also put up a tree in your home. Most people use fake ones because it's less messy.
What kind of tree?
Well...usually pine but any kind will do. Then you decorate it to look all pretty and if you buy presents for other people you can wrap them up and put them under the tree too!
Sounds expensive.
[Beastboy wags a finger]
Christmas is all about giving! You give to those less fortunate, you give to those you love! Sure you can get lots of awesome gifties from those who love you...but you get like this super warm and fuzzy feeling inside from being nice to other people because it's Christmas...and then you can go back to being a jerk for the rest of the year.
I don't think I understand...
That's OK! If any of you have any holiday traditions from back home for this cold time of year I wanna hear about them! Maybe we can all do them and have some fun! If you have any questions about Christmas I'll be happy to help! It's my favorite time of the year!
I still don't know how you're going to buy any gifts with the main market trashed.
If I have to make candy canes and eggnog from scratch I will!
Whatnog?
