Explain this holiday to me now, please. You know the one. The one with snow and trees and overweight men in bad suits with worse facial hair. I'm new! I don't know these things!

Yes. That. Exactly.

*realizes this makes no sense*

...oh, just sing a carol. It's fun! Really!

[can_be_more]

I don't know any! *flails!*

"Deck the halls with boughs of holly..."

Damn, now I'm going to have that stuck in my head for the rest of the day.

And the presents are because the Three Wiseguys showed up at his birth and gave gold, frankincense, and myrrh. So, tradition.

Okay, I can understand the gold < /Vala >, but the other stuff?

Umm, I think they were spices. Used to wrap corpses.

Yeah, depressing gifts.

Maybe they were for the trade-in value?

[can_be_more]

They brought corpse accessories to a baby shower?!

It was a king thing. I don't get it either. Something about how they were the kind of thing everyone would need, and really, who wants stuff they need?

[can_be_more]

Still! You don't give a newborn death stuff. Even I know that!

I do wonder about those Wise Guys. Maybe it was a threat?

[chasingangela]

Repeat after me:

"Jingle bells, Batman smells, Robin laid an- whoops."

"Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way, oh what fun it is to ride, in a one-horse open sleigh...."

Don't bother trying to understand the words and how the relate to the fat guy or the baby.

Well, the tune is stuck in my head...
