All I wanted was a white Christmas, and of course it didn't happen. Maybe next year I should ask my parents if we can go somewhere where we're guaranteed some snow.

[...]

I hope one of you has some snow at home, at least.

[...]

And Merry Christmas. And you had BETTER all be behaving. You know who I mean.

[Warded to Antigone]

I'm bored. Reg keeps picking on me and it's very annoying. You're probably having fun at the beach, aren't you?

What are you doing?

[heresie]

I bet it's snowing at school!

[somethingwick_ed]

Probably, but that's so pathetic to be at school so that must be nice for everyone there.

Snow is just so charming for Christmas, don't you think? Did it snow for you?

[heresie]

It's cold enough, but not snowing.

[somethingwick_ed]

Ugh, disappointing. Maybe next year. We haven't had snow on Christmas here in forever and it's really starting to get annoying.

[heresie]

We should have a snowball fight when we get back to school.

[somethingwick_ed]

[........]

I'll certainly supervise, if you'd all like to do that.

[nightandday]

We should. That would be fun!

[godzillabutworse]

Did you get any COOL SANTA SWAG??

[somethingwick_ed]

[...]

No. We don't do Santa.

I'm assuming you did?

[godzillabutworse]

NO PRESENTS?? For real???

My dad bought me a XXL jacket bc it was the last one in that style on the rack?? Which??? UM???? OK????? But my brother made me a pretty good mixtape and some donuts.

[somethingwick_ed]

You call all presents "Santa Swag"??? Ugh.

I got some nice things from my parents. A new winter coat, some nice leather gloves, a new pair of dance shoes. The usual. My grandfather got me a new watch.

[...]

A mixtape and donuts? Are you poorer than I realized? Have someone shrink the jacket for you, at least.

[godzillabutworse]

DEPENDS on the MOOD. I could've said COOL SHIT but that seemed SO gauche??

Aww SEE you got some good SANTA SWAG!! My parents kinda fail at clothes buying.

M I G H T just stack myself up with DINAH in it and PRETEND to be a GIANT adult, somewhere.

[somethingwick_ed]

[...............] But Santa Swag isn't gauche? Do you even KNOW what that word means?

I feel like I need to talk to your father about proper sizing. Or maybe just gift-giving. It's not that hard.

[...] I have a difficult time believing you'd ever find a need to be a giant adult, or that you would be convincing as one.

[dinahdanger]

GIANT ADULT JUDGES YOUR WORTH

[godzillabutworse]

OMG we could pass our GIANT ADULT SELF off as a JUSTICE OF THE PEACE.

[godzillabutworse]

Oh it's totes gauche, just like, lower GPC (GAUCHENESS PER CAPITA!! JSYK!!)

lol please come visit the LIH and have a talk with Daveed I would for sure love to see this.

GRAMPS. I LITERALLY cannot think of a SINGLE ACTIVITY that is NOT IMPROVED by pretending to be a giant adult??

[somethingwick_ed]

I can't even. Sure.

I can write him a letter, at least. That's just unacceptable, he's a grown man.

[...]

Don't call me gramps. Also, literally nothing is improved by being a giant adult.

[...]

Don't pretend to be a giant adult.

[nightandday]

The Old Man made it snow powdered sugar on our french toast this morning, but I don't think that's quite the same thing.

[Rupert]

Right now? Sitting on the back porch.

What are you doing?

[somethingwick_ed]

No, it is not.

[Antigone]
[...]

Just sitting there? That sounds boring.

I'm lying around with Ruby. The dog, not the girl, obviously. We're watching some horrendous movie on TV.

[nightandday]

We don't see much snow around here, so it's as good as it gets.

[Rupert]

Nah, it's real nice. The stars are out, there's a bonfire a little bit down the beach, and somebody's playing music.

Why obv What your bad movie about?

[somethingwick_ed]

Still, seems like a sad approximation.

[Antigone]
I guess that doesn't sound so bad. Maybe a little stereotypical, but not bad.

Something about toys and Arnold Schwarzenegger. I'm a little lost, I got too distracted wondering why this was made.

[....................]

Did you have a nice Christmas?

[nightandday]

When I was little, he'd do the whole living room. But that's way more work to clean up after, yeah?

[Rupert]

What's an unstereotypical Christmas?

Oh, that one's awful. You're probably better off real lost and maybe not even looking at it at all.

Yeah, Ku`u Lei. Quiet, but nice. [...] How bout you?

[somethingwick_ed]

Powdered sugar all over your living room? Ugh.

[Antigone]
More stereotypical Hawaii, is all I mean. Christmas shouldn't involve bonfires. Christmas is meant to be perfect and classy and But you do all sorts of weird things there, I guess.

Ruby is potentially enjoying it, so I feel bad switching it off.

You're so rude. Good for you, then. And it's been fine. [...] Everyone's very busy with whatever, so mostly quiet as well. My brother got a black eye trying to show off one of the brooms he's been working on, so that was amusing some excitement, at least.

[nightandday]

Not sugar. Sugar's for the kitchen. Kind of [...] soap suds, yeah?

[Rupert]

I don't know, I think you'd like it. Even if it's stereotypical. It's gone all quiet now and there's dancing and they got the palm trees all lit up.

Leave it on if you want. Just don't look for too long.

He's all right, yeah? Nothing lasting? And the broom works nice?

[somethingwick_ed]

Less stupid, still unappealingly messy.

[Antigone]
Maybe. Snow seems better. [...] The dancing might be nice, though. Sounds a little quaint, which I can appreciate. Do you have any upcoming plans, or just going to continue sitting out on the porch until you need to come back to school?

Yes, I'm trying to avoid too much eye contact with the screen. Why did they let him be governor, again? Seems very questionable.

Why are you so worried about him? Ugh. He's fine, naturally, and the broom is spectacular when handled right. He just looked like an idiot. It got him a lot of points with our grandfather.
