Hola! This may or may not be a person you know.

I'm entering because this looks fun.

 

[ESP]

There are 2 parts to the letter. The 4 questions and then the play/poem/story portion. You post your letter here in a spoiler. I included an example =P

 

[PersonSP]

I'd love to enter! ...but we don't celebrate Christmas the American/British way. So gingerbread cookies and getting gifts is all pure movie stuff for me.
To be fair, tomorrow we celebrate 'Sinterklaas' (Which sounds an awful lot like Santa Claus (they both derive from the same guy) and then we do have gifts and all sorts of special cookies. But wait it get's better, we get giant decorated chocolate letters (usually the fist letter of your name) and the whole party actually starts in november when the guy gets here on boat from Spain with his helpers and horse and then all the 'adults' will have to act like the guy is actually here for two weeks. (He got his own newsprogram, teacher will make a mess in classrooms and tell students the helpers did it, there are people dressed up as the helper actually running over rooftops (that's still on my to-do list!), etc.)

...Well, that was of topic. XD Anyhow, 'Holiday Spirit' will require a bit of acting for me since we got differnt holidays. We just have a tree, a lot of lights and random friends and family coming over for diner. And that's about it. Still nice, but quite different.

 

[Bluelapinu]

omg that sound cool i would like to enter !

but where do we have to sent the letter ?

 

[PersonSP]

When is the last submission date? I suggest it being a little bit before Christmas so you can hand out the prizes on Christmas day.

 

[KnighddDd]

I want to join i liek cookies they are fun! and delicious

 

[8150]

I'll join. Quick question though, can the story be a horror story if it's Christmas-related? And when you say the letter has to be less then 250 words, does that include the story part of it, or the entirety of the letter?

Spoiler: Letter to a Cookie

Dear Brotie Swag Star,

You seem like a delicious cookie cool guy who knows a lot about swagtastic stuff. If this is the case, then maybe you could help me obtain a new pair of Beats headphones, which is what I would like for Christmas. I realize they are not cheap, but here's to hoping you can scrape up enough crumbs to get me some. However, if you don't have enough for those, I'm always looking for new Wii U games! (Coincidentally, the new Xenoblade game came out today..*cough* hint hint *cough). And then, of course, if all else fails..you can buy me the new Bullet For My Valentine album, 'Venom' (since @Spinnerweb might beat me up if I don't listen to it soon ).

Although I like receiving gifts (because who doesn't?), I got a job this year, so I actually get to give back! I love giving presents more than I do receiving them because it makes me feel good when you buy someone you care about a present that they really like. You should know that feeling, since you seem to love giving out Play Coins! Maybe one day I can rob Marc have enough coins to give out, just like you! Sadly, though, Ebeneezer Scrooge told me I owed him a lot of taxes, and he took every coin I had. Oh well. Good thing I bought Christmas presents early!

You wanna know what my favorite thing about Christmas is, though? It's not giving presents or receiving presents. It's not eating Gingerbread cookies (not that I would eat your kind ). It's the Christmas spirit that floats through the air, as Christmas gets closer. For whatever reason, in December, before Christmas, it seems that everyone is in a better mood than usual. Maybe it's the Christmas music , or the spirit of giving; but whatever it is, I sure love it. Also, the smell of hot chocolate, and the warm feeling you get when you're wrapped up in a warm hoodie or tons of blankets. Those are a very close second (and third, I suppose ).

So now that I have told you a little about me, and what I would like for Christmas, I would now like to give you something. Here is a 3dspedia-inspired poem, read in the same context as 'Twas the Night Before Christmas'. I skipped a few lines from the original, so it's not exactly the same, but I still did my best. I hope you enjoy it. (Also, pardon my occasional slant rhyme..)

'Twas The Night Before Pedia-Christmas (from lack of a more creative name )

'Twas the Night Before Christmas
And all in the Shoutbox
Not a creature was stirring
Not even Marc

The children of Pedia were snug in their beds
While visions of video games played in their heads
And Marc in his overalls, and Mika in her nightgown
Had gone to bed, and were about to lie down

When out in the Shoutbox arose such a clatter
They sprang back online to see what was the matter
Away to the Shoutbox Marc was in a flash
To find Spinnerweb's legs in a dash

With Spinny's legs rocking so lively and quick,
Marc knew in a moment he probably should quit.
More rapid than Blaziken his legs rocked,
for he knew he would grow sad if he stopped.

"Now, Marc! Now, Mika! Now, Warbird, Now Eight!
On Alex, On Rawrrie, On Sunny and Oopa, this is great!
You see, I'm giving away coins in the Shoutbox,
100, 200, 300 tops!

"And you see, I may not stop there.
Because I'm in the giving spirit, and I love to share!
So come with me, to the Shoutbox, it's there I will call,
And dash away, dash away, dash away all!"

All at once, to the Shoutbox they sprung
For if it was too late, the giving would be done.
Topping the hill, where Spinny was waiting
Stood pedians in line, where they were all debating

On who would be first, and who would be last
Yet Spinny assured them, "There's plenty to pass!"
One by one, the Pedians obtained their coins
Most of them exclaiming "This is better than toys!"

Finally, Spinny's coin supply had been taken
But the children of Pedia were not mistaken
They loved Spinny, and with all of their might
They shouted "Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!"

Sincerely,

- Warbird

P.S. Merry Christmas, Brotie Swag Star! I hope you don't get eaten have a good one!
