[It isn't often Scratch opts for anything but text. White texting people is always funny. But, he does want to ask something important enough to warrant the lack of it.

Good day New Moore residents. I have an inquiry to make. As an alien who does not come from Earth and only understands the minimal requirement about humans and their culture for my work, it seems that this month a very popular holiday called "Christmas" is approaching.

I don't celebrate Christmas and the closest equivalent to it in my universe is called "12th Perigees Eve", which is celebrated differently among the class lines. I don't celebrate that either.

However from my understanding, part of the Christmas tradition for you humans is to wear horrible unflattering sweaters. The kind with an awful tacky design on it, terrible colors and is simply horrendous to look at.

I find it curious as to why such a tradition takes place at all. That said, I want to learn first hand about the bizarre human emotion you all refer to as "the spirit of Christmas".

Shortly put, my question is:



Which of these two is tackier, in your opinion? Please make note that the first is a sweater vest and the second has glowing lights installed in it.

[Apologies to unfortunate roommate Scott McCall who has to deal with seeing these atrocities the most of anyone, because Scratch is definitely going to wear at least one.]

Hey, are we getting a Christmas tree, or are you really just in it for the sweaters?

[cueball]

And that's why it's terrible. Not 'awesome', as you put it.

[cueball]

If you want a tree I won't object to it. It would be a way of furthering my understanding of this holiday.

[Plus, trees are green. Green is always a good color to have around the house.]

[dontmccallmyname]

I think we have different definitions of awesome. Where'd you get it, anyway? I kind of want to...I mean, not for me, but I think I know someone who might appreciate it.

[dontmccallmyname]

Cool. I can go—unless you want to go pick it out with me? I mean, I guess we do share the place.

[it's just picking out a tree, right??? how bad can it be to pick out a tree w your roommate.]

[cueball]

I saw it in a store. If you want to destroy your taste in fashion, feel free to do so. I'm only doing this for cultural understanding and the ever popular "ironic purposes".

[cueball]

What would be the purpose of picking it out together?

[...Well then again, he doesn't want Scott to go and get something ridiculous looking.]

Though I don't see any reason to not indulge.

[dontmccallmyname]

[haha WHAT taste in fashion. plus, scott is thinking it will make a good gift for stiles, if only for his face when he opens it.]

No, it's seriously for a friend, but—yeah, I guess it can't be that hard to find. It's pretty unique.

[dontmccallmyname]

Oh, it's like—a Christmas tradition, I guess. Usually it's families, but it can't hurt, right?

[cueball]

True. Very well, if you want me to come along and pick out one of these trees with you I'll do so.
