The Alex Kidd Holiday Bash!

[TransButtah]

HoHoHo!

The Alex Kidd Holiday Bash has begun! Over the holiday season, several new Alex-related activities and items will be posted here, so be sure to keep looking!

But where do you come in? The Alex Kidd Holiday Bash requires you to play any Alex Kidd game everyday until Christmas, while listening to Christmas music. Hot chocolate or any other Christmas drink is optional, but it adds a nice touch!

• The song of the day:
  "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" by Bruce Springsteen
  
  
• Sprite sheets:

This could be cool. I guess you mean American Thanksgiving, because the Canadian one is already over. We could all contribute something funny, doing it all from the forum, and perhaps adding it to the "Fun Stuff" part of the site after it's over. Damn, so much to do!

[TransButtah]

Yay! Yay! :-)

I actually meant the Buzdekastanopian Thanksgiving...Which happens to be on the same day as the American.

Thanksgiving, or Thanksgiving Day, is an annual one-day holiday observed in Canada and the United States to give thanks at the close of the harvest season. In Canada, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday in October and, in the United States, on the fourth Thursday of November.

[TransButtah]

Yup! But they left out Buzdekastanopia's is the same day as America's. So why don't we start it the day after? November 24. On that day, everyone starts doing Christmas things, and they play Christmas music while playing Alex Kidd. The Buttah's put up Christmas decorations on the day after Thanksgiving. Oh, and it's always good to have some hot chocolate while playing SMS!

[transbot]

drinking cocoa is actually a longtime master system gameplaying tradition of mine, especially with Prince of Persia.

[TransButtah]

LOL. I do it every year with TransBrutha!

Oh, and if anybody has any ideas for the Bash, feel free to message them to me, and we'll put them up when it starts!

[Stan]

Lincoln actually changed the holiday here so we'd have one in Thanksgiving, though the harvest thing does play a bit of a part.
