A merry jolly way to spend the Holidays on Pokebeach

Alright, I've seen 1-2 threads about how to spend the holidays on Pokebeach. Now, I have my own idea, but let me tell you what I feel about this in the grand scheme of things...

For one, with many holidays coming this month (Christmas... Hannukah... etc), there's hardly any time to be on the computer. Wouldn't you guys rather spend time with your family, who know you instead of people online who don't know you? Let's face it, the holiday season is about family. One minute they're all there, and the next, they're gone or you're moving out or you're argueing or whatever. The point is, cherish the time you have with them during the holidays. Its funny, really. My principal/guardian told me about this little boy named Charles a few years back. Now, his parents JUST died of aids in 04', and he had to life with his grandmother. So, for the past 2 or so years, me and my mother have been sending Charles my old gameboy and gemes to his grandmother's house (he USED to live under a bridge). Anyway, about 1 week ago, his grandmother suffered a heart attack, and died right in front of him. So, for Christmas, hes spending it, well, alone in his Uncle's house. So, I'm giving him my PS2, a TV, a computer, $100.00, and 10 PS2 games for him to, well, just forget about the people of his who died. The point of this is, celebrate Christmas or whatever holiday while you can, because all Charles wants is his Mom, Dad, and grandmother.

ANYWHO, here's my idea-

Ok, so I have 2 ideas-

1: C'mon... we didn't get a Halloween/Thanksgiving banner! Let's have a Christmas one, eh?

2: Alright, we all feel a "connection" so to speak with each other, right? So, I think a nice way to celebrate this holiday is to, whenever you see a thread asking a question and its someone you know (or don't know), or they're asking for someone to rate something or whatever, answer it. Not just "yes" or "no". Really answer it. Answering a question is one of the, while it isn't much, nicest things to do. Or rate a deck or fix it, or do the same to a team. This holiday, pitch in on every thread YOU KNOW YOU CAN ANSWER. And don't spam it up, answer dignafied, and not just for the holidays. Try it all year round'. I mean, tis' better to give than receive :)

Well? Yes or no? Comment on the first couple paragraphs if you want as well.
 
Wow, thats sad...But a really great thing you did K&M! Im sure he will be happy with those things!! I think this is a good idea. I have had threads where i really need some help but people never answered or i didnt get many hits or something and your completly right! It is after all, Better to give than to recieve!!
 
This is the idea i was looking for. Well, not that i didnt think of it so.. it's so much better to spend some quality time & cherish them with your family members. This description touched me. Thanks K_M.
 
Why, thank you, guys. I thought this would be a good way to spend the holidays. This thread, I feel, is both a suggestion on how to spend the holidays in the real world, and in this world. Just think of Charles. Why don't you all send some money or an old toy to an orphanage? Or adopt a foster child just for Christmas and buy him some gifts? Beleive me, you'll feel good afterwards. I know I did :)
 
At another forum I used to go to We used to creat like a board for a party and party by poasting...it was weird...but that was different because it's a rom hackers forum....then some people would make like a hack video in it...
 
-Notice- This is officially the last holiday thread that will be made unless it is official. Any other unofficial ideas in the Site Discussion forum will be locked.

I would like a Christmas banner. Also, a podcast would be nice. Not a strictly formatted one like the last few, but one where anyone can comment at any time - not on all of the topics either.
 
You know guys, it seems whenever we have an idea like so, WPM always has a better one. I bet he's got something planned, as always. WPM always has something in mind. I like the idea of a podacast, but anyway.... I had an idea that involved the fan creations stuff. We shouold open a holiday shop, and have different items on offer as the seasona change, as well as the normal ones. I'm pming LM and Bonsly to see if they're interested. KG, I saw your banners on The smeargle cave, do want to help us?

~How funny, for these holidays (Christmas plus New Year), I wished to play my compute all day and all night. I told that to my parents and they said that it's ok. :F I'd rather spend my time on computer then with family.

~Sad. Maybe Christmasis time to spend with family.

~Good idea.

~I don't know. Answering questions isn't really Christmatic (xF - Christmatic).

Well? Yes or no? Comment on the first couple paragraphs if you want as well.

:F
 
We had a Halloween banner, well last year, that is. I would like to see a Christmas one, which would most like involve Delibird, Stantler and Glaceon or something similar. =]
 
I've kinda made a banner.

I don't know what it should say on it.
Sheimi/Shaymin's on it coz in the Southern Hemisphare it's Summer.
 
I see where you're coming from in that last sentance, Dr. Ooler :F, except answering questions is still giving something, which is what Christmas and all holidays are all about. I hate to say it, but we could all end up like Charles one day. Anything's possible :(.

LV: That's a great banner! Umm... maybe it could, I dunno... say... "Happy Holidays!"? Its traditional, anyway :)

marinepika: No offense to RM, but you don't really use sprites in a banner...
 
Yea I'm making stuff for people.
Also... we now have better ornaments. Want to contribute? Just post an idea I should use. Not a bad idea K&M!
