I think that the important part of celebrations is the being together. Having a good time, spending time with... Friends, family, whoever it is that you're celebrating with.

I don't know if that really answers your question.

...you took my answer. [ Pout. ] FOR SHAME.

[ ...is May talking to her housemate over the network when she's right in the next room? Why yes. Yes she is. ]

Hey, no worries, mamacita. I'll just chalk up another vote for the "hooray, parties" camp. Looks like you guys are going two-love so far.

Hey, who doesn't love a good party? And if it comes with sparkly lights and decorated trees and all kinds of cookies and booze, so much the better. [ That may have been... somewhat inappropriate while talking to someone under the legal drinking age. Does May care? ...not so much, no. ] Or cake. Cake is always good too.

[ Buffy gets up, walks into the next room, and blows a raspberry at May, then goes back to her computer. ]

[ For some reason, a vicious attack pillow takes the opportunity to fly at Buffy's head when she turns her back to leave the room. Damn those pillows. Sorry, Buffy, May will have to train them better. ]

[ there's an indignant squeak. A pause as she leaves the room. And then, after removing all potentially-breakable accessories, she comes back in wielding a pillow, running at May with a battle cry!

...PILLOW FIGHT! ]

Hey, an answer's an answer. I'm just in this for the reply counts.

[ Still, he nods thoughtfully. ]

So focus on the gifts, not little baby Jesus. Fuck, sounds like a plan to me.

Oh, for Christmas? Yeah, I mean, if Jesus is an important part of the celebration to you, then that's one thing, but if you're not really religious, or if you have a different religion, it's about your friends, and giving them things that you think will make them smile.

I had a friend once say that she thought part of the reason the huge gift-giving holiday was in the middle of winter was because people needed something to warm their hearts when the weather outside was so cold. I mean, that doesn't really count here, but the point stands. I think Christmas is more about bringing joy and happiness to your loved ones than about Jesus.

And I say this as a practising Catholic.

video; i am sorry that dave is an asshole ;;

Okay, see, that was kind of meant as a quick metaphor. As in, "the reason for the season." Wasn't actually trying to get into a sermon.

[ That eyebrow of his is just.

Going to raiiiiiise on up now. ]

...I can't even tell if you're serious anymore. How much of this is intentionally ironic?

video; eh, she's used to it. Her best friends are staunch atheists.

[notthatbuffy]

[ this is slightly sheepish ] Sorry, sometimes I just get started and can't bring the rambletrain to a full and complete stop for everyone to get off. Just blow right past the station!

[ beat. confusion. ]

Um.

None of it?

video; there's atheist, and then there's militant. and then there's just being an asshat, lmfao

[timeturntable]

No prob. Not really all that worried about it one way or another - it's passing the time, know what I'm saying?

[ Alright, cool. About what he expected, really. He just shrugs. ]

Good to know. The name's Dave, just in case you were wondering.

video; point. It's all good!

[notthatbuffy]

Oh, you're one of Jade's Daves, right? I knew I recognized you, I saw you at the party!

[ BIG SMILE HIIIII ]

I'm Buffy, I'm a friend of Jade. Obviously.
