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.

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!

These play on the networks every year, and probably aren't too hard to find, /retro/ ?

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?

I plan to start at midnight UTC between the 21st and 22nd of December. That is:

11am Fri 22nd AEDT

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.

If we split things up, that should make this doable for everyone. 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.  :)

>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!!

This. Any other boards are free to contribute additional New Years -celebrating streams, and they will be added into the OP ITT as well.

/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!

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

Thanks for the info /a/ ! OP listing updated.

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:

According to this article, the lower classes used to extend the period even more:

I think the pagan Yule is also thought to have been celebrated in January, but I'm not so sure.

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/!  :)

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).

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.

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?
