December 1
Commodore sat at home, looking moodily at the bottom of his tankard. He willed more to appear there, but it was no use. All the alcohol was gone - or, at least, that's how he perceived it. And he had no drinking buddies around - he half wished he had not sliced off the head of Justin_Crossing that one time.
Sadly, Commodore was not the only person who had lost some of his Christmas cheer this year. Among others, RPGLord95 was out of Whiskey and Caelus had become rather boring and sad, since he had no drink, meaning it looked like he would have to spend Christmas alone this year (all his bros had abandoned him). In fact, RPGLord was having serious trouble dealing with the cold Canadian weather without some drink, and had thus had to invest in actual clothes (he usually staggered around naked).
In fact, there was plenty of alcohol. It was simply that the evil organisation known as the "Team of New-Year lovers United against Christmas" had recently found the ability to ruin Christmas for people by taking away some of what made it so enjoyable. So for the bros, they lost all perception of alcohol. People could have their glasses filled with eggnog and Comm would not see any there, would not feel the drink pass his lips, nor would he feel the affect of drinking it. It was a sorry state of affairs when another would-be drinker, Dante, was having to drink Sprite at his office's annual Christmas Party.

The evil Team New-year United against Christmas cackled evilly (yes, all of them! (except one)) as they watched people moodily fail to enjoy the holiday season.
"bwahaha," said Menji, "we're killing Christmas!"
"Yes," said l3fty. "Soon nobody will enjoy Christmas and they will only be able to celebrate New Year, because that is a much better holiday!"
"Why do we love New Years and not Christmas so much again? Like, this seems pretty extreme..." piped in Tombolo.
"Errr..." replied l3fty.
"Well the author hasn't really bothered to put much thought into our motives, so we'll just say that Christmas ate our parents," said Menji.
"How can Christmas do that? It's an abstract concep-DAMMIT COBAIN, stop trying to Force Push the 'ruin Christmas' button! You are not a Jedi!"
"Yes I am," replied the robed Cobain, gazing into the eyes of Menji.
"No you're not."
"Yes I am." replied Cobain. "</jedi mind trick>."
"Open bracket slash jedi mind trick? Wha-Oh. Yes. Yes you are a jedi. I forgot for a moment. Sorry, master Cobain."
"No problem."
