MCA0: Saturday Night

[needsaparrot]

While Fandom weirdness had been laying low for a while aside from certain timeline-related Moments Of Awkward, holiday and birthday-type activities had more than stepped up to fill in the space. So tonight's a rare night of relaxing in front of the tv, since most of Xander's non-party time this week has been spent up in the workshop, not being an elf. Exactly.

But certainly not burglarizing Christmas, unlike someone on his tv screen right now.

[OOC: For the non-redheaded tiny Jewish Santa b-word-person.]

"Why would I steal Christmas when I've already got a perfectly good winter gift-giving holiday of my own?" Bridge says reasonably.

[needsaparrot]

"I dunno - it just seems to be going around," Xander says, pointing over his shoulder towards the den, from whence the sounds of Christmas-thievery can be heard.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Ooh," Bridge says. "And hey, speaking of gift-giving holidays..." yeah, there goes the top package again.

[needsaparrot]

Xander grabs for it. "Yeah, see this is why I said you were doing it wrong. With the bringing instead of the taking."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"But I *like* the bringing part!" Bridge protests. "And possibly there should be bringing of these into the den, because then there can be movie *and* presents."

[needsaparrot]

"See me arguing? This is me arguing," Xander says as he leads the way into the den. "Also this is popcorn." He points to the table.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Looks like a table to me," Bridge says, sticking his tongue out.

[needsaparrot]

"There's popcorn on the table, Tiny Jewish Santa." Xander sticks his tongue out.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Oh!" Bridge says, setting the packages down next to the popcorn before flopping down on the couch. "Hey! I don't sneak down your chimney and eat your food!"

[needsaparrot]

"No, you sneak in the door and eat my food!"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"But you gave me a key!" Bridge flails. "And usually when I'm coming over it's because I've been *invited* to spend time with you and the food is really just part of that. So it's different."

[needsaparrot]

"Also I don't have a chimney and I like Santa? But I don't want to do the horizontal macarena with him," Xander says, leaning over the pile of presents to tap Bridge on the nose.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Good," Bridge says, nodding firmly. "Because I wouldn't want to share. But anyway! Presents. Starting here," he hands Xander a small box (http://www.uncommongoods.com/item/item.jsp?source=related&itemId=13547).

[needsaparrot]

Xander grins and opens the box. Then stares at the cufflinks inside, finally pulling one out to play with the leveling-bubble. "....You know that thing I said about the macarena?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Yes?"

[needsaparrot]

"Wanna dance?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Well, yes," Bridge says, in a 'duh' tone of voice. "But after presents, I think, because otherwise they will sit here all alone and unopened and that would make them sad and you wouldn't want sad presents, right?" Bridge says, digging out two big-ish (http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/awesome/the-keyboard-waffle-iron-257153.php") boxes (http://www.x-tremegeek.com/templates/SearchDetail.asp?productID=16778).

[needsaparrot]

"Sad presents make Baby Je-- you know, bad example." Xander coughs and returns to the task of unwrapping.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Annnnd that'd be Bridge thwapping Xander on the shoulder and valiantly attempting to glare at him. Not that it's working.

[needsaparrot]

"....computer-shaped waffles!" That would be Xander snickering and then sort of falling over on his side with the giggles.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Because, you know, there's that whole 'I fell asleep at the keyboard and now I have waffle-face' thing. Only now the waffles are literal and you eat them, and, well, hopefully they wouldn't still end up all over your face."

[needsaparrot]

"Depends on whether I'm five that weekend or not."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"You make a good point," Bridge admits. "But hopefully you're not planning on turning five any time soon." Because the weetiny thing is totally something you can plan for, right.

[needsaparrot]

"Hopefully not, since I have dancing-related plans."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Good," Bridge says. "And the sooner you open these, the sooner we can get started on that," he adds, handing over the last (http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/tools/917f/) three (http://www.uncommongoods.com/item/item.jsp?itemId=16025) gifts (http://www.uncommongoods.com/item/item.jsp?source=family&itemId=15935). It's possible he went a little overboard on this gift-giving thing.
