Because I drink mead all the time, and I enjoy the way it tastes. Its just...good.

Yes, I am Tse, but I am also Rev, because I am a christian minister, commonly called a Reverend, thus, Rev. There are other reasons behind Rev, but none that are more relevant.

Hey all, merry Christmas! :D

So, I have finalized my plan to ensure that conflicts of interest are kept to a minimum.

From Monday on, neither Monitors or the Admin (That's me! :D ) will have a job in any ministry of the Government, nor will they run for President.

As such, Unfallious and Tserra both (In my honest opinion, wisely seeing as they are literally the best in the Judiciary) have agreed to stop being Monitors (They will instead have Judicial roles) while Sulania has agreed to resign from the position of Minister of Justice effective immediately.

Next, I have decided to write a factbook detailing every action done by the Administrative team on Discord, it will be updated Monthly.

Anywho, I've already talked to Tserra about me resigning from the Supreme Court, so everything should be set.

I'll have milk and cookies.

Snow: I don't remember my experience of it, and I haven't seen snow since I was 1 or 2. However, I will see snow when I go to Switzerland this summer, since me and my group will be staying on a mountain.

Christmas carols: I like them. 'Jingle Bells', 'Joy to the World', etc. I don't think these are carols, but I also enjoy songs like 'The Christmas Song' and 'Have a Holly Jolly Christmas'

War on Christmas: It's just a fake controversy whipped up by some evangelicals and conservatives. Thankfully people seem to be catching on to that.

Bonus: I spent time with my family on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. On both days we opened gifts, and had a little dinner. I also watch Christmas specials with my parents to get in the Christmas-y mood, and I help set up some of the Christmas decorations.

I'll just have water and coal, being an engine and all.

Snow: I love snow! Wearing a snowplow can be annoying, but the snow just looks so beautiful, and I'm glad that the children can play in the snow. However, when you get stuck in the snow, that's a different story.

Christmas carols: I love carolers! They always make the season merrier. I like 'What Child is This', 'Joy to the World', and 'Jingle Bells'.

War on Christmas: There's a war on Christmas? How awful! Is Santa okay? Is the UN trying to negotiate a peace treaty? Will all the good boys and girls still get their presents? Could Percyton join the war on the side of Christmas?

Bonus: Every Christmas, most of the engines get together at the Steamworks, Tidmouth Sheds, or Knapford Station, and we have a party. We sing carols, exchange gifts, chat, and generally have a merry and jolly time!

Don't worry, Percy; the 'War on Christmas' isn't real. Santa is fine, the good boys and girls will still get their presents, and Percyton doesn't need to get involved.

Besides, if there was a War on Christmas, Jaslandia would be the first to intervene to at least protect Santa Claus and his workshop.

We didn't get snow this year in the Commonwealth :( A darn pity, we were buried in snow last year, as I recall. Welp, that's global warming for ya

I do like carols! But we don't get many carolers around this area :(

War! *huh* What is it good for? *absolutely nothing*

Lol "War on Christmas". The many popes and deacons rolling in their graves atm with that crap

Go out to the movies (saw Fantastic Beasts today), eat some dinner (Waffle House was the only place open this year :P), then eat dessert and watch more movies at home

Dear Santa,

I forgive you for not getting me that mate I always wanted

Sincerely,

A disappointed but optimistic youth
