The Pikachu on the tree.
Well, Bob and I haven't had the tree up for a few years now, just because we didn't want to drag it out of storage and bother putting it up, also because having a tree with no presents under it is kind of... sad. This year, things are a bit better for us, so he got out the tree yesterday. The tree is something he scavanged from a toy-store he used to work for, as well as some Pokemon figures/ornaments. So... every time we've had the tree up, there's Pikachu.
This year, all we had was him, a star, and some glass ball ornaments... Bob asked me if I had any Zelda stuff I wanted to put on the tree (all I have as far as Zelda figurines are Toon Link and Tetra gaspon figures), but the suggestion made me think "Hey, I've got some Lord of the Rings figures I haven't put on display in a while! And there's my small Trigun figures!" --- The two of us got out our collectables, some fishing line and paperclips and now we have a Geekmas Tree. Vash and Wolfwood are drawing their guns/the cross-punisher... Link and Tetra are chillin' (and we stuck my Link plushie up in the branches), Raka from Haibane Renmei is not the tree-top angel, becuase we had a star, but his close... there's a Lego Optimus Prime, the Tick holding a spoon from our kitchen, all while Sam and Frodo try to keep Gollum from getting his hands on the One Ring...
Maybe the Geekmas Tree will become a new tradition. It all started with the traditional Pikachu.
We also have a New Year's Tradition of having a Chinese-food feast on New Year's Eve, which is not anything my family has ever done, but has been passed down in Bob's family. We discovered a new, really good place this year, so we plan to order from there.
