Christmas
Christmas, or as Chris sometimes retardedly calls it, C-Mas, is our hero's favorite of all holidays. He always celebrates it at home with his family, and often mentions it in his fail-tastic comics and videos.
Christmas in the Chandler Family
| “ | We celebrate like normal; a decorated tree, get-together, remembering Jesus and all. | ” |
| ChrisChanSonichu, Mailbag 2. | ||
Despite Chris's insistence that Christmas is a time for family, Cole Smithey, an atheist, does not take part in the traditional Chandler family celebrations, instead staying with his wife's family in California.[1]
The Chandlers keep a Christmas tree and decorations in their kitchen year-round because they are too lazy to change it.

"Santa Clause" [sic] (not to be confused with the movie that takes this spelling) is a being associated with Christmas, whom many children believe in, especially in Western countries. However, most of them actually stop believing in Santa around the age of 4 (according to surveys), most often when they find out it was actually their father with a fake beard.
Chris, being the immature manchild he is, claims that he still believes in "Santa Clause" [sic], despite being technically 28 years old. He even put Santa's name on his List Of Males Chris Doesn't Hate, which may imply that he: a) believes "Santa Clause" [sic] is real, b) believes Santa is a manly male man capable of landing himself a girlfriend (see also the Mailbag quote above). Also worth of note is the fact that Chris chose to put Santa's name on the list before God and Jesus... because, come on, these two JERKS never brought him even the tiniest presents!
Of course, all this doesn't necessarily mean that Chris actually does believe in Santa. Chris probably maintains this line because he wants to believe it and maintain memories of the happy Christmases of his childhood. For Chris, who still plays with da Legos, professing a belief in Santa is "cute" and shows that he is "young at heart", one of his favorite traits.
In a 2010 email exchange with a woman, Chris stated that he learned Santa wasn't real around age 15 or 16, but finally "gave up on him" at 24 after he failed to bring him a girlfriend for the third year in a row.

Chris also got the name of his future wife from singing a 1950s Christmas song over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over, which actually says a lot about Chris.
He also seems to have an affinity for the song "Deck the Halls", as he raged like an idiot because the word gay should only be used in context of "happy", as in the song.
Other confessions
Being the totally sensitive and tolerant person he is, Chris in his Sonichu Christmas special (the text and comic versions) mentions the ways CWCville citizens of different faiths (that is, "Jewish folk", Buddhists, possibly Black people, and "a few humbuggers") celebrate their own wacky versions of Christmas.
Haunaka/Chaunaka/Konica/Chanukkah [sic/sic/sic/sic]
| “ | Cera continues with a question, holding a cookie in a zip-loc bag, "I've invited Kevin too; do you think he'll like this candle-shaped cookie I made for him? He told me he was Jewish, and I thought it would be appropriate." Rosechu replies, "I think he'll love it. You have made it really special with the white frosting for the wax and the yellow for the flame. Uh, what kind of cookie was it again?" "Vanilla", replies Cera, "I felt it best to keep it neutral, in case he was allergic to the peanut butter or chocolate." "Very Smart," says Rosechu with a smile, exchanging a high-five with Cera. | ” |
| A Sonichu and Rosechu Christmas, Act 1 | ||
"Haunaka"/"Chaunaka"/"Konica"/"Chanukkah"/whatever, is a holiday CWCville "Jewish folk" celebrate while most other citizens celebrate Christmas. On December 12, members of the CWCville Jewish diaspora set up "Menorah candles" (the "Haunaka" [sic] Menorah candelabrum has 7 candles in it, while the traditional Menorah used on Hanukkah, called a "Hanukkiah", has 9) instead of Christmas Trees, with dreidels lying under them. Since the candle-related symbolism is very much present in the RL Hanukkah rituals, it's in good taste to give CWCville Jews anything candle-related as a gift. E.g., when Sonichu's daughter Cerah Rosey baked cookies for her friends, she decided to make her Jewish friend Kevin a candle-shaped one, because Jews love to be distinguished from other people on any occasions based solely on their faith, and would take deep offense in receiving a normal nothing-special-shaped cookie as a gift! That Cerah couldn't choose a more obvious Hanukkah symbol (such as a Menorah or a dreidel) over a generic candle shows that Cerah has extremely poor knowledge of even the most basic of Jewish traditions known in the Gentile world. That, and she's an ignorant retard like Grandpa.
In fact, there actually is a tradition of eating fried foods on Hanukkah, and vanilla is one of the allowed ingredients used in making them. Not that Chris knows anything about this, mind you - he just wanted to make sure that the cookie was hypoallergenic. Because Jews are Melvins who have many allergies, you see.
In IRC (22 December 2008) Chris listed "Haunaka" and "Chaunaka" as two different holidays, probably belonging to different religions. In his Shout out to Fans in Hospital, he does nearly the same thing, saying "happy Hanukkah, Chanukkah, all the other holidays to everybody of other religions".
Jolly Buddah [sic]
| “ | Christmas Trees are abound most everywhere: in the homes of the townfolk, in the stores, in the offices, and the biggest one in the center of CWC-Central Park. Some have Menorah Candles, or even a Jolly Buddah [sic]. | ” |
| A Sonichu Christmas (the comic version) | ||
| “ | All the churches are full with all the believers, be they Christians, Jewish folk, Buddhists, and such. | ” |
| A Sonichu and Rosechu Christmas (the text version) | ||
From what we know, Buddhism is one of the religions Chris tolerates, and so he sometimes mentions it as a display of his "religious sensitivity". However, he probably doesn't know jack shit about Buddhism, and assumes that since Buddhists are all "good-hearted believers", they undoubtedly should celebrate Christmas in some way! So, in CWCville, Buddhists celebrate their Buddhist Christmas by going to their Buddhist churches on starting December 12, and having a "Jolly Buddah" instead of a Christmas Tree.
By coincidence, Christmas is actually a popular holiday in some primarily Buddhist countries (such as Japan). However, it's rare for celebrators to give the time special religious significance specific to their religion. Similar to how Halloween is celebrated in America based solely on the customs with practically no emphasis on the religious practices that started the holiday, so too do many Buddhists enjoy Christmas just as an excuse to put up lights and give each other gifts.
Kawanza [sic]
Little is known of what Chris thinks about "Kawanza" [sic] and the related rituals, except that he once congratulated his trolls with this holiday (among others), misspelling its name in the process.
Other faiths
Chris doesn't say (or care, probably), what Muslims, Orthodox Christians, Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Baha'is or Atheists do in CWCville on Christmas Day. Probably they're the "few humbuggers" whom Chris derides for not celebrating C-mas/Haunaka/Kawanza/whatever those wacky Buddhists celebrate.
Notable Christmases in Chris's life
1989 or 1992
On Christmas Day, 1992 (other sources claim it happened in 1989), Chris got probably the most dumbfounding present in his whole life, and from GodBear himself, no less. While strolling with his father through the Regency Square Mall, Christopher, as he was called at the time, encountered a band of bears playing some Christmas songs. The boy chatted the director bear (called Leonard Bearstein) up, and being half-deaf from the cacophonic (read: shit) music they played, the stupid bear mistakenly named him "Christian".
The little autistic saw that as an "OMG sign from God!!!" and a few months later got his name legally changed to "Christian". And thus, as some researchers tend to think, has the epic saga of fail begun.
2004
| “ | [Chris sighs] Well, at this time of year, all I can say right now is... that I hope Santa will comply with my request and bring me... a pretty girlfriend. And so... happy holidays from... me, Christian Chandler — by the way, you can call my Chris in public—and... thank you. | ” |
| Emo Chris, So Need a Cute Girl. | ||
| “ | I want a girlfriend for Christmas, to share my love, oh. I want a girlfriend for Christmas, to kiss under the mistletoe. |
” |
| Chris, the poetic geinus. | ||
This Christmas, Chris expected to get: a) a girlfriend from "Santa Clause" [sic], b) an apology from Mary Lee Walsh. Not surprisingly, he didn't get either, and became depressed.
Earlier in December, he dedicated two different songs to the first of these two wishes: I Want a Girlfriend for Christmas (written on December 4) and All I Want For Christmas Is a Pretty Girlfriend (recorded on Christmas 20). The same day as the latter, Chris also recorded another song, the famous So Need a Cute Girl, which was probably dedicated to the same thing.
If "Santa Clause" [sic] really exists, this proves that he's a major JERK, or that he doesn't tie up girls and leave them under trees as gifts for horny manchildren.
2005
| “ | Although I really don't mean to be cold but please don't try and advance kissing on me please. The truth is I don't want a boyfriend because I don't desire and idolize boys like other girls. I enjoy being indepentant. So you see what I mean? It's certainly nothing personal towards you. I'm just a girl who doesn't care about loving guys. That doesn't mean I can't be friends with them though. | ” |
| Megan on 20 December 2005, trying to be diplomatic with Chris. | ||
Chris was probably stressed as hell, because just a few days before his gal-pal and attempted sweetheart Megan Schroeder told him she doesn't like him trying to kiss her, and that she doesn't want to have a boyfriend at all. Just to add insult to injury, "Santa Clause" [sic] brought him a shitty pirate ripoff instead of a genuine Lego set that year. No boyfriend-free girl under the tree this year either.
2007
On December 26, Chris bought himself a pretty girlfriend called Kimmi, who would become a rival to his longtime artificial heartsweet Officer Nasty, on Adamandeve.com. Probably because "Santa Clause" [sic] didn't bring him one this year, either.
To compliment the sex doll, Chris also bought a "Vintage XXX Cartoons DVD/CD", and received "XXX Pleasure Seekers DVD/CD" and "Playboy Magazine Digital Edition DVD/CD" for free. The fact that Chris specifically sought something as bizarre as vintage porn cartoons to fap his crooked duck to, for some reason, sits fine with all the other weird aspects of his twisted personality.
However, being unsatisfied with fantasizing about naked women drawn in the 1960s, Chris went to Adamandeve.com again soon after New Year's Day, and purchased some more XXX-rated Holiday Gifts for himself. These include: a "2008 Adam & Eve Calendar", a "Romance Roulette Card Game" (which Chris probably plays as solitaire), and, the strangest one of the bunch, a "Carmen Boob Mousepad", whatever that is. He also got some free items as well, namely a "XXX Pleasure Seekers DVD/CD" and, most notably, the infamous "Anal Love Beads", which would become a popular theme for trolling Chris in the upcoming year.
2008
Chris got "a couple of DVDs, Bee Movie on Blu-Ray, assorted chocolates and a calming family moment" (IRC (28 December 2008)); in Chris's words, it was "simple, nothing extravagant". Bob outdid himself with a gift to Barb overshadowing Sonichu in over-the-top symbolism. "He gave her an arranged box of ornaments, with tags attached to them; each one representing her blessings; three angels, me, dad and my half-bro, Cole. Ones for Ruckersville, Red Oak, our cats, and one for her." (Chris, on IRC (27 December 2008)).
2009
Chris took the time to send warm wishes to a dear friend. He also received chocolate and video games from his family.
2010
Since Chris took a break from the internets to spend more time with his family, we'll see soon enough. Merry Christmas, everyone!
