not-a-meme, winter holiday edition

[waiting]

it's that time of the year again, and since the world has miraculously managed not to end by 2012, let's talk about holidays!!!

1. do your characters have any special rituals for the end of the year?
2. do your characters celebrate any winter holidays here/back home? if so, how do they usually spend them?
3. what is on your character's christmas wishlist this year/what kind of gifts do they like receiving?

Bender usually celebrates Eksmas (note the pronunciation) in an armoured bunker with plenty of ammunition, as the murderous Robot Santa visits every year to destroy anyone on his naughty list. He has a very large naughty list. Apart from this, his New Year's traditions are stealing alcohol and hooking up with floozies. His gift list is money, booze, and things that can be sold for money. No gifts from the heart.

Daria is stuck with her family, which leads to the usual dysfunction to spill through. If any extended family are invited, there's likely to be a physical fight of some kind. She spends New Year's in much the same manner, with added eyeroll, apart from occasional network plugs. Her wish list is books and stability in her life, but she'll appreciate clothes, useless gadgets, and boxsets of awful reality TV shows.

Ladd is a creeper, and celebrates the whole holiday season getting drunk and probably killing people. He gets super in to the Christmas spirit, but mostly as an excuse to irritate people. Nobody gets him anything for Christmas, and he certainly doesn't expect anything.
