Thinking Of the Holidays Coming Out.. What Would You Like To See?

I would love to see things like fruitcake.. yes fruitcake! However, instead of eating it we can throw it at each other! Or how about snowballs? But.. instead it it lowering mood or energy it gives the person we threw it at increased energy or mood due to it being in the spirit of fun!

  • I put something like this in the ideas forum awhile ago.   My top two are Trees lit by fireflys with a behavior similar to Gnomes, and Christmas Crackers.  Those are packaging, made from paper and colored by elements, which you can wrap up any two items in.   You need another Glitch to open them - 'crackers' are opened by two people - with a 'pop', and each gets one of the items in their inventory.    That opening requirement would bring glitches together.

  • How about a portion of the world be coated in snow, and you can use your shovel to dig up streets to clear it and get snowballs, and every so often snow will fall and cover it back up again.

  • Oh those are good ideas WalruZ. The reason I didn't put this in the ideas forum is because I thought it would be fun to have a lighthearted discussion of fun things!

  • I still want a glitchmas pudding. Plums, flour, hooch, and jellisac.

  • Winter in glitch? I'd say the light dusting of snow in Aranna might become full fledged drifts in that circumstance ;)

  • I'm very much in favor of decorations for the homes.  A wreath for the door, a tree, Santa gnomes... 

    I also really love the idea of snow that you can dig up!  Snowball fights would be incredibly fun!!!

  • The story of fruitcake, or at least the humor of it, is that people regift it perpetually. So maybe pass-around fruitcake that acrues more energy or mood value each time it is regifted?

  • Updates, updates, updates.
    Everyone gets a "present" that has something in it.
    Like how the Glitchmas Yeti was passed out.

  • Snow with a snow crunching sound underfoot would be nice, maybe the regular music could have a few sleigh bells added in.

  • Dear Father Glitchmas. I wrote a song.

    Deck the floors with lots of sno-ow
    Fa la la la la, la la la la.
    Tis the glitchmas to be jolly
    Fa la la la la, la la la la

    Don, we now our santa costumes
    Fa la la, la la la, la la la.
    Wear the brand new reindeer costumes 
    Fa la la la la, la la la la

    See the Glitchmas trees before us
    Fa la la la la, la la la la
    Add some bells and christmas music blocks
    Fa la la la la, la la la la

    Following brings up santas sliegh
    Fa la la la la, la la la la
    The leader's Santa, followers reindeer
    Fa la la la la, la la la la.

    Bells and tinsel the rube dresses.
    Fa la la, la la la, la la la
    Hail, the new ur and glitches
    Fa la la la la, la la la la

    Gift, we everyone, getting pressies
    Fa la la la la, la la la la
    Brand new food cooked in the weather
    Fa la la la la, la la la la.

    Ok. Lets sum it up. Floors covered in snow. Santa and reindeer costumes. Either decorated trees or like the pumpkins were during zille-o-ween, but trees and the writing is a sign hung on them. Some bells we can shake and make noise. Also, glitchmas music blocks. A new following function where when people follow, you become a sleigh. The leader is santa, and the followers are reindeer. The rube is dressed in all new tinsel and bells. We can make presents we fill and gift to others. Last but not least, we can make new food!!!

  • Twas the Night Before Glichtmas
    and all through the bog,
    Not a creature was stirring
    not even a polliwog

    The stockings all hung
    By the cabinets with care
    In hopes
    That St. Glitch
    Soon would be there

    The Glitchlings were nestled
    All safe in their beds
    While visions of purple
    Danced in their heads

    And mom in her kerchief
    And I in my cap,
    Had just settled down
    For a long winters nap

    When out on herb garden
    There arose such a clatter
    I sprang from my bed
    To see what was the matter

    Away to the door
    I flew like a flash
    Jumped out of the portal
    And hid behind the pillar

    The fireflies dancing
    Among the gas and spice
    Gave the lustre
    Of midday
    To objects below

    When what
    To my wandering eyes
    Should appear
    But a miniature sleigh
    And eight tiny piggies, my dear!

    With a little ol driver
    So lively and quick
    I knew in a moment
    It must be St. Glitch!

    More rapid than the Rook
    His courses they came
    As he whistled
    And shouted
    And called
    Them by name

    Now dasher
    Now dancer
    Now prancer
    Now vixen
    On comet
    On cupid
    On donder
    An blitzen!

    To the top
    Of the spice trees
    To the top
    Of the cliffs!
    Now dash-away
    Dash-away
    Dash-away all!

    As fireflies fly
    Before the Glitchen
    Can catch
    When they meet
    With a jar
    Mount to the sky

    So up
    Above the bog houses
    The courses
    They flew
    With a sleigh
    Full of toys
    And St. Glitch too

    And then
    In a twinkling
    I heard on the roof
    The prancing
    And pawing
    Of each little hoof

    As I flew through my door
    And was turning around
    Through the portal
    St. Glitch
    Came with a bound

    He was dressed
    All in fur
    From his head
    To his foot
    And his clothes
    Were all tarnished
    With sparkly dust and earth

    A bundle of toys
    He had flung
    On his back
    And he looked
    Like a vendor
    Just opening
    His pack

    His eyes
    How they twinkle
    His dimples how merry
    His cheeks
    Were like rubies
    His nose like a cherry

    His drawl little mouth
    Was drawn up like a bow
    And the beard of his chin
    Was a white as the snow

    The stump of his pipe
    He held tight
    In his teeth
    And the smoke it
    Encircled his head
    Like a wreath

    He had a broad face
    And a round little belly
    That shook when he laughed
    Like a bowl full of jellisac

    He was chubby and plump
    A right jolly old Glitchen
    I laughed when I saw him
    In spite of myself

    A wink of his eye
    And a twist of his head
    Soon gave me to know
    I had nothing to dread

    He spoke not a word
    But went straight
    To his work
    And filled
    All the stockings
    Then turned
    With a jerk

    An laying a finger
    Along side his nose
    An giving a nod
    Into the portal
    He rose

    He sprang
    To his sleigh
    To his team
    Gave a whistle
    An away
    They all flew
    Like the down
    Of a hairball thistle

    But I heard him exclaim
    As he drove out of sight
    Happy Glitchmas to all
    And to all a goodnight!

    Happy Holidays!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I want to plant a Christmas tree in my patch.

    (Sorry, dear Eggtree).

  • I'd actually be okay with the Ur version of Xmas being a little more Glitchy and a lot less specifically Xmassy (Personally, I celebrate Xmas, but not everyone everywhere does, and this time of year it is easy to forget there are other winter holiday celebrations going on in addition to Xmas). Maybe a mix of a variety of winter holiday traditions could be combined to design a special Glitchmas celebration! 

    Eight days of gifts and special foods and (firefly-powered) candle groupings, the usual appropriated pagan traditions of holly/ivy and decorated trees, a Krampus-like anti-Santa counterpart (Rookus?), a multi-day celebration that celebrates Ur and Glitchdom in general / thankfulness in general and then are broken down into single days (with mini-quests or extra mini-buffs for certain actions?) that are specific in focus and designed to honor Glitchy virtues in some way (cooperation, kindness, charity, goodwill, industriousness, piety, environmental awareness, and four more perhaps that can be associated with each giant), etc. 

    But special winter holiday foods (the hoochified fruitcake that can only be eaten if someone else gives it to you is a winner of an idea; maybe it can also be used to construct blocks, lol; apples and honey, cookies, eggnog, you name it) and festive (and slightly extra buzz-inducing) drinks and the ability to exchange Glitchmas gifts would be the nicest ideas of all, I think.

    (Actually, it would be funny if one of the buffs from drinking holiday drinks would be tipsy Glitchen randomly spouting "I LOVE GLITCHMAS!," "I love you, man," "This is going to be the best new year ever!" and so on and then automatically mooning or hugging everyone on the same street. :D )
