Here is a summary of our previous thread, located at:
http://fireflyfans.net/mthread.asp?b=11&t=34544
Our spaceship, Sereni-Tree, has been docked at the space station Persepolis 8.
However, we have been skiiing withYeti, first in their own winter wonderland down in one of the Sereni-tree's cargo bays, and then on the planet Sundown, reached by one of TheRealMe's dimensional portals. On Sundown, we have been skiing on water, relaxing on the beach, and playing volleyball with flan. On the beach have been at least Seryn, Bluefishie, her squid-like pet, SimonWho, LeopardFlan, Jake7, TheRealMe, Mai, SoulofSerenity, Cozen, Sparky the Robot, Mrs Universe, at least four of the yeti, and Brides 2, 4, 5, and 6.
Joining us is Mrs Universe, who is determined to recover her brilliant man via a time machine that sorta doesn't work.
There has also been talk of the Best Ice Cream and the dimension where the purple Fruity Oaty Bar Octopi live.
However, since it is getting close to Christmas, SimonWho has suggested a return to our ship for presents and Christmas pudding (a good idea, since we really didn't leave anyone on guard, and since everyone likes pudding).
TheRealMe's response:
"That is not a bad idea!" TheRealMe discards his latest attempt at a flanball onto the sand of the beach, and he and others head back through the dimensional portal connecting the planet Sundown to the Sereni-Tree. People exit into the ship's voluminous common room.
"Well, we need a Christmas tree. Shall we wrap somebody up in tinsel and strings of lights, or shall we drag out of storage that metal sculpture that Jazaf once made for us?"
TheRealMe, Captain of the Sereni-Tree

Oh, I think we need the sculpture! It was so glittering and pretty!
Just be careful of the sharp edges!

TWG sneaks into everyone's rooms and places crackers (the toy, not the food) on their pillows. She goes back into the kitchen to continue baking. She hears footsteps on the ramp. As folks return to the ship, they see lots of baked goodies on the counter.

Ooo, baked goods!
*puts a Bing Crosby Christmas album on the stereo*
Right, how about Christmas party games? Pin the tail on the donkey is always fun. Or the Fame Name Game maybe?

*Mrs. Universe cringes and claps her hands over her ears.*
Noooo! No Bing Crosby!!! I've heard waaaaay too much Bing Crosby lately! 
Maybe some Nat King Cole, or...ooo....Josh Groban?
*closes her eyes and smiles wistfully* Ah..Josh Groban, of Earth-That-Still-Is....Kinda looks kind of like my man, except Mr. Universe is shorter. 
I used to tease him about it all of the time.
I know!
Let's roast some chestnuts on an open fire!!!! 
I'll get the fire extinguisher ready, in case of any screwups, haha.
*races off to the kitchen to grab the fire extinguisher*
*suddenly, you hear a SCREAM!*
Aaaaaaaaaaa!!! I can't get it off of me! Help! Noooo!

I'm sick of Christmas songs, how about Bob Rivers' Christmas song parodies?
Can't beat some of my favorites:
The Twelve Pains of Christmas
We Wish You Weren't Living With Us
Wreck the Malls
A Visit from St. Nicholson
The "What's It To Ya" Chorus
and
Chipmunks Roasting on an Open Fire...
But, if we must hear real Christmas songs, I vote for Jon Anderson's Three Ships...

With the savory smell of roasting chipmunks wafting through the corridors, a figure shrouded in a red hooded cloak, skulks silently about.
...skulk...skulk...skulk...
Hanging mistletoe in every archway, doorway, for that matter, on every overhanging surface, he pauses, a large bag of flavoured chapsticks flung over his shoulder, to survey his handy work.
"Yep, that oughta do it."
"Merry Christmas and Festive Greetings Sereni-Tree-ians!!"

Mrs. Universe whirls around, making sure to avoid the mistletoe.
"And who are you?"
She picks up a Chap-Stick that was dropped.
"Oooooh! Watermelon! My favorite flavor!"

Right, snack time. Anyone fancy sausages wrapped with bacon? Veggie alternatives if you fancy.
