Is any song of the Christmas season less relatable than the Twelve Days of Christmas? Since when does Christmas have 12 days? How wealthy would you have to be to afford gifts like 5 gold rings or 12 pipers piping?

On the sixth day of Christmas my true love gave to me:

Old Gift: Six Geese A-laying

Analysis: I don’t think giving a goose, when it was in the exact moment of birthing, would ring in much Christmas cheer.

New Gift: Six affectionate Christmas emails from Video Game Celebrities

Analysis: I wonder if this is what Geoff Keighley’s inbox looks like.

Hey Handsome,

Cheers mate,

Happy holidays my friend. Thinking of doing “No Button Combat” for Fable … as in you can never tell your character to attack, he only does it if HE chooses to.

Any suggestions? Would love to know what you would do.

Hello,

Apology first. My English not so good.

Should Mario is homosexual like Harry Potter Wizard?

I think of it.
