Certainly the one with the best smile.

Flattering people will get you quite far.

I’ve just been invited to a New Years bash at a club I know. I could use a chaperone if you’re interested in coming with me. 

The fun chaperone then.

[nathanbenson]

ears-for-days-russel·:

Well let’s consider this a growing experience and I’ll try to need less excuses.

Trying is a good first step. So, what are your plans?

[nathanbenson]

ears-for-days-russel·:

Everyone keeps telling me I shouldn’t work so much. Might be something to that. 

You certainly needed excuses more than once. 

[nathanbenson]

ears-for-days-russel·:

Do we really need an excuse to have fun?

Isn’t that your case sometimes?

[nathanbenson]

ears-for-days-russel·:

Two more days, mates. Then it’s a whole new year. A whole new batch of regrets and laughs. So on, so forth, something something witty one liner. Personally, I’m looking forward to the drinking. Hope your plans are good for New Years. 

I don’t actually see the big deal. Although, it’s a good excuse to have fun.

ears-for-days-russel·:

Classic is always a good choice. They even came with this pair of really short red shorts. But I don’t think that would be appropriate to wear in public. 

I’m not one to be shy, but somehow I think the patrons might think the restaurant suddenly became a strip club for the holidays. 

[nathanbenson]

ears-for-days-russel·:

Santa hats! I have some in variety of colours to choose from. There’s the traditional red, of course. One with antlers and one with bells. Take your pick.

Ah, right. I almost forgot about the santa hat. Almost being the key word. I think I’m just gonna go with the traditional look. Antlers and bells seem a bit much.

[nathanbenson]

ears-for-days-russel·:

WELL I can’t help it! December just brings it out in me. And, you, sir. I have something for you. 

Something for me? What is it?

[nathanbenson]

ears-for-days-russel·:

So decorating for Christmas is more fun than I actually thought it would be. I don’t know why I didn’t think it would be? It’s just so, happy. And I’ve been humming Let It Snow for hours now, hanging all sorts of holiday nonsense. Ironic, since it doesn’t really snow here. ALSO the treeeeee will be here soon. Did you know you could have it delivered? I didn’t. 

You’re like a little kid waiting for Santa to drop his presents.

[nathanbenson]

ears-for-days-russel·:

I think you’d look cute in one. Or, well, cuter. But what about your family, actually? Will you be going home for the holidays? Thanksgiving and Christmas?

I’ll take that compliment. Not Thanksgiving, but the plan is to spend Christmas with them. My siblings have been begging me non-stop. 

[nathanbenson]

ears-for-days-russel·:

With a santa hat and everything? 

We’ll see about the hat. Let’s decorate the place first. I won’t make any promises I might not keep down the road.

[nathanbenson]

ears-for-days-russel·:

I may. Will you decorate it with me?

I may. If you actually go through with it.

[nathanbenson]

ears-for-days-russel·:

Look at you being all design savvy. So basically just keep Autumn colors about and you win.

That’s the goal. And then -- well, I don’t think I have to tell you what kind of Christmas decorations we should put. Will you buy a tree?

[nathanbenson]

ears-for-days-russel·:

Naturally I’d wait until December, that was the whole point. But I could try and persuade you nooow. How does one decorate for Thanksgiving?

Thanksgiving is about warmth, where it’s the meaning behind the holiday or even the colors -- so a lot of orange and yellow should be able to do the trick. Something that applies to autumn. 

[nathanbenson]

ears-for-days-russel·:

Well, when you do it properly you only get a month. Might as well go big or go home. 

I can get behind that logic. Except, it’s not December yet. Or were you hoping to decorate for Thanksgiving as well?

[nathanbenson]

ears-for-days-russel·:

Come ooooon Nathan! It’ll be fun! We can sing songs and wear little santa hats and drink cider. 

You’re going all out, huh.
