Christmas Stories

Dispite being the most stressful and demoralising part of the year for some, it'd be nice to hear what everyone else does in the holiday month.

Probably my favorite Christmasish story was when my Japanese familly took me to Disney Sea for my birthday and then provided me with the single largest cake I have ever been allowed to eat more than half of (Thing was the size of two shoe boxes.). Despite all the problems of having to adjust to an entirely new culture, living in Japan remains the high point of my life.

    Hmm...Let me think...
    The one prevailing Christmasish memory I have is of being terribly frightened of the guys dressed up as Santa Claus (not Santa Claus in general, I knew he wasn't real), and refusing to sit on their laps. My mom tried to force me, to the point that one Christmas, when I knew one would be arriving, I hid behind the couch in the basement. She found me a while later. Nowadays, she admits she was crazy for trying to force me, and that it makes no sense.

    Yeah.

    The year Final Fantasy 7 came out, all my brothers and I wanted for Christmas that year was a PlayStation, Abe's Oddysee, and, of course, FF7. And we got them! All three!

    What we did not get was a memory card.

    It was, of course, electronics, and naturally all the places that sold the hot new electronics were closed, so there was no getting a card until the next day. Unfortunately, that left us with the entirety of Christmas afternoon and evening, except for a break for dinner, to fill. And there were three of us, and we each had to have a turn.

    And that is how I came to experience the first couple hours of Final Fantasy 7 six times in two days.

    Camping with the family. Trout fishing, kayaking, wrestling with Alsatian puppies... general fun and games.

    Once upon a time, a small child wanted nothing but a Captain Action action figure for Christmas. Instead, his parents gave him a cheap set of Lincoln Logs.

    The End. You bastards.
