If I trip over another bough of holly, someone's bloody hall is going to get decked.

[Spike is not overflowing with Christmas spirit.]

You do realise it's a compulsion rather than someone trying to kill you with seasonal foliage.

[bigbad]

It's still bloody annoying. Not all of us celebrate, you know?

[rass-bestie.livejournal.com]

Which is also true of those compelled to decorate, it's not their fault, is rather my point.

[bigbad]

Then they're not who I'll hit.

[Don't you recognize angry grumbled threats that Spike doesn't actually intend to carry out when you hear them?]

[rass-bestie.livejournal.com]

[He can tell, but really, insidious holly plots? Too ridiculous an image. He absolutely has to take it seriously.]

Alternatively, you could lay holly traps of your own.

[bigbad]

Or not, since that would be completely idiotic.

[rass-bestie.livejournal.com]

Because you're clearly incapable of being completely idiotic.

[bigbad]

Not like that.

[rass-bestie.livejournal.com]

[Dryly.] Has the urge to punch people disappeared yet?

[bigbad]

It's being redirected pretty quickly.

[The urge to punch people never really disappears.]

[some-kinda-hero.livejournal.com]

[Grins.] But it's fun, Spike! Not a Christmas fan?

[rass-bestie.livejournal.com]

Happy to help.

[bigbad]

You didn't.

[bigbad]

Not particularly.

[beyondxtime.livejournal.com]

Oh! Yes! Strangle them with garland! Oh that would be festive :3

[some-kinda-hero.livejournal.com]

Hm. Why's that? Christmases past suck? Something else?

[bigbad]

Yeah, not really my style, mate.

[left-that-life.livejournal.com]

Jus' make sure that someone deserves it. For all you know that somebody's feelin' the same way as you 'bout the holiday.

[beyondxtime.livejournal.com]

What’s your style? Tree Star into the heart? Stuff tinsel down their throat? Oh! Bludgeon them to death with the nativity scene! No, thats all too obvious.

[bigbad]

Well, there's the fact that I'm an unholy creature of the night and not prone to celebrating even commercialized Christian holidays that are really pagan rituals.

There's the part where I'm sure I'm permanently on the naughty list, and proud of it. [He may be good, but he'll never be nice.]

And then there's the way Christmas just loses some meaning when you know "Santa Claus" is actually a demon who disembowels children.

[bigbad]

Fist to the face.

[bigbad]

I'll make sure they're legitimately jolly first.

[some-kinda-hero.livejournal.com]

[Sadface. Then horrified.]

What version of "Twas the Night Before Christmas" did you read?

[left-that-life.livejournal.com]

Good, sparin' the innocents from your wrath an' all.

[beyondxtime.livejournal.com]

Will you at least be wearing a festive hat?
