/animu/ jazzanon reporting in. I guess I will stream jazz from 22 to 25 of dic.

>>2986 Hi Jazzanon, thanks for stopping by! >I guess I will stream jazz from 22 to 25 of dic. I'm presuming that's 'dec' ? So looking at the calender, it looks to me that the weekends of 16th-17th (the main webring event), and then ofc the Christmas weekend itself 23rd-24th would be the primary times to stream? Even on Christmas day itself Monday, December 25th of course. Then New Year weekend one short week later. Also, not sure what timezones you want to follow (for now I'm presuming UTC). That's a lot! Is there something that I myself can do to help you during these periods? TIA.

Please dump Christmas moosic files you like here, Anons: https://prolikewoah.com/animu/res/85538.html#99530

>>2984 These are really comfy OP pics, thanks! :)

>>2987 >for now I'm presuming UTC yeah, starting at 3 pm PST / 22 UTC >Is there something that I myself can do to help you during these periods? Nah, it is pretty simple to just stream, will announce it in the jazz thread here when the time comes.

One of the regulars from /vhs/ here to report that a Christmas stream across the 22nd, 23rd, and 24th is planned featuring both Christmas shorts and movies. More info to follow as it becomes available.

>>2984 OK, let's make a list of boards that are at least a little active on the webring over the past few days. Also, if you know of any other boards to invite for the 22nd to 25th event, please add them ITT anons. Also, pls don't forget to submit Christmas'y music! >>2988

>>2993 Nice, this will be a comfy christmas.

/retro/-fag here. What Christmassy things from the past could be streamed? Muppet Christmas Carol?

>>2996 >Muppet Family Christmas is too old for /retro/ as it is 80s Man I feel a little bit older now.

>>2997 But does it even matter? Maybe nobody would mind.

>>2998 Probably not. And can probably sandwich between other television Christmas specials.

>>2996 I vote : * Rankin & Bass' 'Rudolf the Red-nosed Reindeer' * 'A Charlie Brown Christmas' * Chuck Jone's OG 'How the Grinch Stole Christmas' These play on the networks every year, and probably aren't too hard to find, /retro/ ?

>>2996 In Australia they used to show the magic pudding. around Christmas time.

>>3004 >the magic pudding Is that this version, Anon? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfluaMlguvY

>>2996 I have a soft spot for Ernest Saves Christmas.

>>3005 Looks like it

>>3002 All of those would be worth tuning in to watch in my opinion.

>>3008 Agreed.

Merry Christmas from the n/a/be! Among other Christmas streams, I will be showing the following movies: >Zeno: Unlimited Love A (-n actual) Christian anime about a priest helping people out in post-war Japan. Based on a real person. >The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe Based on the book by CS Lewis. If you're somehow not familiar with it, four children go through a magic wardrobe into a fantasy kingdom where they have to fight an evil witch. >Where? https://cytu.be/r/animenabe >When? I plan to start at midnight UTC between the 21st and 22nd of December. That is: 7pm Thu 21st EST 4pm Thu 21st PST 1am Fri 22nd CET 11am Fri 22nd AEDT Hope to see some people there for some fun.

We will be hosting a Christmas TV night this Wednesday, December 20 at 7:00 PM ET / 12:00 PM GMT. I am still in need of three TV Christmas specials, so if you have any ideas please share them. https://cytu.be/r/zzztv

>>3025 >I am still in need of three TV Christmas specials, so if you have any ideas please share them. >>3002

>>3026 Already going to do the latter two, I'll probably throw in Rudolph and Frosty as well.

>>3023 Here's another event for the n/a/be. Euronabe, at the same link, will be having its Christm/a/s special starting 12 PM CT / 6 PM CET on the 23rd. The tentative lineup is: >Tokyo Marble Chocolate >The Big O Episode 11 >Itsudatte My Santa >War in the Pocket >Di Gi Charat Christmas Special >Bartender Episode 10 >Gundam Wing Endless Waltz >Santa Company >Azumanga Daioh Episode 17 >Amagami SS First Arc >Winter Garden >Lucky Star Episode 11 >K-ON Episode 7 >Ichigatsu ni wa Christmas >Tokyo Godfathers I apologize if the intermissions aren't European despite the name. I, the host, am a Burger and won't be able to attend most of it due to family responsibilities. You can expect someone else to add the 11th and 12th episodes of Emiya somewhere in there.

So, it's Tuesday and the primary event begins this Friday. I guess we should spread out now and invite other boards to participate. Any good advice/suggestions, Anons?

>>3040 >Any good advice/suggestions, Anons? Invite /sp/

>>3041 OK, will do.

>>3040 I have contacted /yuri/ because last time they streamed a bunch of war movies as seen on their embassy thead >>21

>>3048 Great, thanks Anon! Please reach out to any other boards you'd care to. Cheers. :)

What about streaming * Die Hard * Home Alone as Christmas movie ideas?

CHRISTMAS TV NIGHT TONIGHT AT 7:00 ET >Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas! >Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer >Frosty the Snowman >A Charlie Brown Christmas >THE STAR WARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL https://cytu.be/r/ZZZTV For the Holiday Special, plase request whether or not you would like the standard version for suffering or the RiffTrax version to make it palatable. Keep in mind that it is two hours but you are under no obligation to stay for the whole event.

>>3057 >plase request whether or not you would like the standard version for suffering or the RiffTrax version to make it palatable. Lol. I suppose the RiffTrax version then? :)

>>3050 They haven't responded yet. In the meantime I also tried inviting /japan/ and it's a bit of a "maybe".

Just pick a set of favorites and invite them here, deal? I'll start with the first 5 grouping. TRY TO POST IN CHRISTMAS, OFFTOPIC, QTDDTOT, /META/, CHAT, MISC THREADS, ETC. Also, try not to repeat an invitation to the same board twice (viewed as spam). Hopefully boards not in the list will find out and show up anyway. If you notice something missing Anon, please point it out. --- UPDATE: * All boards in the listing have now been invited, except those tagged with: '~~ Tor disallowed' . * If any of you anons would care to invite those boards here too that would be a big help! Cheers. :)

>>3062 Here's the text I'm going to use to start out with. Any of you writefags who would like please give us all some better words, thanks! :) --- COME TO THE 2023 /CHRISTMAS/ FESTIVAL Hello, /christmas/ here. We want to invite you to participate in our annual Christmas party again this year. It's already started, and the main stream will be from Friday 22nd, through Monday 25th : 3 pm PST / 22 UTC . Please come and share some Christmas cheer with your fellow anons! https://anon.cafe/christmas/catalog.html --- >grammar edit

>>3041 Sorry Anon, /sp/ doesn't let me post across Tor, apparently. Some other Anon please send them an invite.

Someone please invite /kind/ ( wapchan.org ), they apparently have started blocking Tor now.

Stop spamming.

>>3068 Congrats for being the first complaint, Anon! Sorry about that. :D Please pardon us; it's only once a year and I think the vast majority of the webring looks forward to this event. Not really any other way to broadcast the word AFAICT. Again, apologies -- please do attend the festival this year. Cheers. :)

>>3070 >first dozens of people already called you a faggot and told you to fuck off kill yourself retard

>>3071 Lol. Turn that frown upside down. It's Christmas Anon! :D

Did someone invite lainchan yet?

>>3057 That was great fun thanks! Charlie Brown Christmas is a good story.

>>3062 >anon.cafe /cuckquean/ - Women Sharing Their Men I can imagine getting moar women for Christmas.

>>3093 Lol. The /cuckquean/s are actually pretty cool form wahmen.

>>3062 WILL SOME ANON KINDLY INVITE THE TVCH BOARDS ON THIS LIST PLEASE? TIA

the /japan/ strm will be from 9 PM EDT (tentative) to whenever I feel like it on christmas eve We'll watch some old gaki, it will be good. might even give out some presents even though im broke af i WILL be drunk https://cytu.be/r/kimeemaru https://cytu.be/r/kimeemaru

>>3129 >We'll watch some old gaki, it will be good. Naicu. Looking forward to it Anon. :)

SOMEONE STREAM THE SCROOGE MOOFEHS PLS

>>2984 Yoho, I sent you an email at your protonmail address with details to another event that's in the oven.

>>3177 >to another event that's in the oven. Look forward to it. If you just post the details ITT when you're ready to go, I'll add something about it into the OP ITT. Cheers.

where are the hat templates for avatars??????????

>>3284 If you mean little hats on the thumbnails here on /christmas/ ... I certainly agree that's a great idea Anon! :) Unfortunately, this would require some changes to the frontend for the LynxChan software, and that's not a BO/Mod thing but a Site Admin thing.

>>3285 I'm talking about this thing. I can't find it anywhere except compressed on some clipart site.

>>3062 Sorry that I haven't written any invitations. Is it too late to?

>>3307 >Is it too late to? No ofc not! Christmas is still two days away Anon. Why not do the pickups for the ones who didn't get one yet?

>>3315 I'll try to invite some of the boards that don't allow Tor, Gahoolechan and the three boards on smug.

>>3369 /tg/, /dunk/, /dup/, /tv/, and /monster/ have been invited. /yuri/ doesn't need an invite. /ost/, /art/, /bane/, /oven/, /top/, /truth/, /wooo/, and /lit/ are dead as far as activity is concerned. /ch3/ doesn't have a meta thread or a Christmas thread.

>>3215 >>3177 Threads up http://zzzchan.xyz/v/manage/thread/229905.html http://crghlabr45r5pqkgnbgehywk5nxutdks5iss7tabyux5psikqqjirryd.onion/v/manage/thread/229905.html if you could add the event to the OP now that'd be great. Thank you for managing this year's events again and Merry Christmas to you and family.

>>3372 Forgot the banner lol.

>>3373 Thank you anon, I'll be there

>>3372 >>3373 Thanks, Anon! >banner We can't add a pic into a post after the fact, but I've added your event into the OP community events listing, and linked to your posts here as is standard practice. Good luck with your event zzz/v/ ! Merry Christmas Cheers. :)

>>3369 >>3370 Thanks kindly Anon! If you want to add invitations to lainchan, kind, and otterchat (or anyone else that's slipped my mind) then that would be much appreciated -- and it's still not too late! Merry Christmas Cheers. :)

>>3302 It looks good Anon. Maybe you can turn it into an exploitable yourself? Good luck!

>>3386 Hey that's all cool brohan, thanks again for your work.

My family is a mental wreck, but at least I can get drunk. Merry Christmas fags, cheers!

>>3402 Thanks Anon! Merry Christmas to you too. I hope your fam can all be at peace together this Christmas at least. :)

/japan/ strm starts soon!!! /japan/ strm starts soon!!!

>>3430 live

>>3430 Can you unblock Tor please, /japan/ ?

Merry Christmas!

>>3456 メリクリ！！

Hello everyone. I have come to check how the celebrations are going on and it looks like Chobitsu is doing a pretty good job. Thanks for taking care of this board this year, and I want to wish everyone who has passed by here: メリークリスマス！

>>3464 Glad you dropped by, Anon. Please join in some of the fun! MeriKuri! >>3456 >>3457 >>3464 Merry Christmas!

A very Merry Fishmas to all webring peoples and to all may The Holy Fish bless your lives with joy and prosperity.

>>3466 This is bury nice fish.

>>3466 >>3467 Heh, Merry Christmas Anon. :D

>>3466 wow that is nice fish

>>3387 Sorry, I didn't check this thread again until now. Maybe I can invite them next year. I know /christmas/ isn't over yet, but Christmas is.

>>3499 No worries Anon, entirely my fault! This is my first time doing this. All things being equal, hopefully next year we'll all be a little more organized about the invitations. Cheers. :)

>>3499 Eh, Christmas still has the 12 days going til Fri, Jan 5, 2024, and Orthodox celebrate Christmas Sun, Jan 7, 2024. But the /christmas/ event seems more or less over for the year.

>>3507 Although don't forget about /vhs/s New Years stream.

>>3501 You made it seem much more enjoyable and lively than last ye a r, in any case.

>>3507 >But the /christmas/ event seems more or less over for the year. Please pardon the impertinence anons, but /christmas/ is now a Christmas and New Years Festival! THE FUN HAS BEEN DOUBLED :DD Regardless, we were already intending to keep /christmas/ 'open for business' until the Orthodox Christmas went by anyway. Can't forget our Orthobros!! >>3508 This. Any other boards are free to contribute additional New Years -celebrating streams, and they will be added into the OP ITT as well. >>3509 /christmas/ is always fun though! Wasn't too hard either since the previous BOs established such good relations with the Internets beforehand. I would like to see it grow in size though; I think the key here will be getting the word out a bit earlier, and with more volunteers. As the old adage goes: >"All of us is better than any of us!" :) Here's to even more fun & blessings next year!

>>3510 >Regardless, we were already intending to keep /christmas/ 'open for business' until the Orthodox Christmas went by anyway. Can't forget our Orthobros!! The Twelve Days of Christmas needs to come back like in the old days.

>>3031 Here's the schedule for the nabe/Euronabe New Year Special: >Kyousougiga 2011 and 2012 >Gundam Thunderbolt Movies >Tetsuwan Birdy >Akira >Shounan Junai Gumi >Castle of Caligostro >Pichu to Pikachu >K-ON Movie Sometime during this will be the last episode of cooking with Emiya, and sometime at the end will be an eight episode marathon of the end of Shichinin no Nana as the first and last of the episodes in this marathon are are about the New Year.

>>3518 >The Twelve Days of Christmas needs to come back like in the old days. That seems like a goodly tradition Anon. If you wouldn't mind, can you link us all to some info on that which you consider canonical to the Christmas holidays of yore, please? I'm a bit rusty on the topic tbh. :P >>3524 Thanks for the info /a/ ! OP listing updated.

>>3528 I just meant in the sense of an extended Christmas. I don't like the way Christmas is considered over as soon as Christmas Day ends. It feels like everything just ends abruptly after people get their presents, as opposed to that aspect of the holiday marking the beginning of Christmas. I blame modern commercialism for cynically treating Christmas as nothing more than a marketing period. In the past, Christmas tended to either have religious significance or as an excuse to have good times with family and friends. I've heard that in Shakespeare's day, it was largely an occasion for revelry. Drinking in excess almost seems wholesome compared to turning the holiday into a ploy to sell Turbo Man action figures. I'm not that knowledgeable about any of this, but people in Western countries used to partake in festivities as late as January 5: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelfth_Night_(holiday) According to this article, the lower classes used to extend the period even more: https://www.shakespeare-online.com/biography/shkchristmas.html I think the pagan Yule is also thought to have been celebrated in January, but I'm not so sure.

>>3530 Thanks for the insights, Anon. Can you think of any concrete suggestions for /christmas/ to follow through on this idea? I too don't think of Christmas as a single 'event', but rather a season (apparently just as in ye olde days of yore). It's a very deeply Christian religious holiday, obviously; one only surpassed by Easter. >The pagan Varg as Santa Lol. Some would claim that's apropos, but I think it's misguided to accuse modern Christmas' roots as being purely pagan. Clearly it's resoundingly Christian now, and has been so for many generations. Merry Christmas Cheers to you Anon. I hope we can figure this new idea out well, and implement it successfully here on /christmas/! :)

>>3531 >Thanks for the insights, Anon. Can you think of any concrete suggestions for /christmas/ to follow through with this? No. I wish I had some ideas. >Lol. Some would claim that's apropos, but I think it's misguided to accuse modern Christmas' roots as being pagan. (see above) I don't think it could be considered the same thing as Yule or Saturnalia or anything. There are definitely pagan elements to it, but a lot of the things people think are pagan actually aren't (like Christmas trees). It was founded on a Christian basis, but there was carryover from pre-Christian times. Either way, a lot of people also historically didn't necessarily seem to care about the religious aspect as much (which reminds me of how oftentimes medieval peasants are thought to have gone on pilgrimages more as an excuse to travel than for purely religious motives). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5z0cLSpx5Mk

>>3535 OK, thanks for the inputs Anon. If I'm able to I'll plan to study this from rigorous sources, and reflect on what if anything we might do here on /christmas/ to celebrate the 12 days tradition in accord with traditional Christianity. Cheers.

HAPPY NEW YEAR, /CHRISTMAS/ ! DON'T LET YOUR DREAMS BE JUST MEMES THIS YEAR, ANONS!

Merry Christmas, Orthobros!

Well, shit. Since anoncafe is shutting down where are we hosting the event the following year?

Well, at least we made it through 2023 Christmas carrying on the good cheer, and there'll be the better part of a year to see where the chips land. Just hoping the boards on other sites I still use are around, and get the invite again.

What's going to happen to /christmas/ now that anon.cafe is shutting down?

>>3563 >>3564 >>3565 We are relocating to trashchan.xyz, so don't worry Anons. See : (>>3571) Look forward to seeing you in December again! Cheers.
