[Hey everyone. Say hello to Trip, who is approximately all of sixteenish years old and wearing this lovely surfing Santa Hawaiian shirt to reflect just how much he fucking loves this holiday.

... To the point of maybe not really understanding why you would ever want to celebrate anything else and has probably acted with extreme confusion when people have mentioned things like not celebrating Christmas, Merlin please teach him other holidays are cool too before he offends someone. :c]

You know, holidays are great. I like Valentine's Day and the Fourth of July, and I'm a little sad when Halloween has gone by, but let's be honest here. Christmas is just the best of them all.

So, we've got officially less than a week until it happens, and I think I've finally gotten all my gift wrapping done. Good thing too, since I'm pretty sure when Mom and Dad get back they'll be pretty much impossible to hide stuff from since - you know - it's their house and they're hiding unwrapped presents for us around the place too. Now I've just got to finish the gingerbread house - [More like mansion or fortress at this point. :V] - and I'm pretty sure that's it.

What's everyone else planning on doing for the holiday?

[ooc: Trip is going to be learning about other people's holiday traditions and that Christmas is not the be all and end all of the holiday season with the help of Merlin a la the Puzzle Place holiday special - does anyone else remember this show or is my 90's showing? - but feel free to chime in and say you're being a dick if you don't celebrate Christmas. Also Steph is his trollish older sister. Any assumed connection with him is totally cool with me!

And I will be replying with tripliketriple because delicious icons.]

Friends, countrymen, lend me your ears! Or... other listening appendages. ... Most of you have ears.

I, and my family, humbly invite you to attend the wedding of myself to Princess T'Pol of the Elvish Kingdom. The ceremony will be hosted at the edge of the forest, and there will be plenty of dancing and making merry well into the evening.

And, as many of you know, my mother happens to be one of the best cooks in the kingdom, so if anyone has any last minute requests or questions about the menu, I'd be happy to relay them to her.


[ooc: There will be a big open wedding log posted shortly by Ari. Legit everyone - EXCEPT THAT DOUCHE MORIARTY - is invited, because the Tuckers are eccentric and fun like that. However, actual fucking shit up is reserved for Moriarty, so basically else should be on good behavior.]
