| What are some animes that have Christmas episodes or some kind of Holiday season theme? Or maybe some mangas that have some sort of holiday theme? There are a lot out there, so post/discuss some of your faves. C= |

 |
| Chrono Crusade has a holiday episode don't know which one though.. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| There was something about it in Love Hina - at least one episode in series plus one of ova. Also more or less in Hayate no Gotoku! - but that was rather about Santa Claus. |
| Seitokai Yakuindomo has a rather 'vibrating' Christmas episode. And Baka to Test has an unusual Christmas special. |

| afair, School Days had a Christmas special. afair, it was good. btw, when do you celebrate your Christmas holidays and how? here, in Soviet Russia, we celebrate New Year as a big winter holiday, not Christmas, so i'm curious to know something new about your traditions, since they are a bit different, and not from books but from people who live there :) |
| hate capital letters. deal with it. |
| found this earlier (but regrettably, i haven't seen much of the series yet) Gintama Season 1 - Episode 37 - People Who Say that Santa Doesn’t Really Exist Actually Want to Believe in Him / Prayer Won't Make Your Worldly Desires Go Away! Control Yourself http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xfh8xn_gintama-season-1-episode-37-people-who-say-that-santa-doesn-t-really-exist-actually-want-to-believe_shortfilms FineBreeder said: btw, when do you celebrate your Christmas holidays and how? here, in Soviet Russia, we celebrate New Year as a big winter holiday, not Christmas, so i'm curious to know something new about your traditions, since they are a bit different, and not from books but from people who live there :) That is such a cool question, I'm tempted to move it to its own thread :D Christmas is on December 25 every year. In America, Christmas (among many other holidays as I'm sure you know) is celebrated differently among everyone. My family is not very religious, so Christmas is just a big money spending holiday for us. [Some people even go into debt over it.] Everyone is expected to celebrate it if you don't have a religion that specifically doesn't celebrate it. We focus on buying presents for the children mostly, but also for family and close friends. We bake cookies, decorate gingerbread houses, hang lights on our houses, and have big dinners with our loved ones. Others spend a lot of time in church. To me it really just seems like an excuse to have a holiday. However, besides the crazy increase in traffic and robbery this time of year that gets me down, most people do go out of their way to be nice this month, although it seems kind of fake. Honestly, I get so tired of Christmas by the end that it kinda makes me sick lol. After New Year's is over, it's back to scowls on rude people. So it's a whole month of thinly veiled annoyances. [Okay I might be a little pessimistic, I admit it :P] Seems like everyone does Christmas differently, but that's pretty much the gist of it. If you have any questions just ask. Now I'm curious about the Russian new year... Do you have any traditions that go along with the holiday?? =D |

| I actually started a 12 Anime Day Of Christmas section on my blog. :c) A lot is already mentioned on here but, there is also School Rumble 2nd semester eps 19; Linebarrels of Iron Eps 10; Robotech: The Macross Saga eps 35; The Super Dimension Fortress Macross Eps 35 and a few others. The list is getting long and I am only on day eight lol! Check it out if you want more... Speaking of holidays though... Anyone have any good suggestions for animes with a new years episode? I have been racking my brain trying to remember more than just Fruits Basket, Doraemon, Hikaru No Go: New Year Special... I know there is more. :c( |
  |
| I couldn't really remember many, but I found some on a google search. Bleach Episode 303, Gintama season 5 ep 3, Detective Conan Episode 345, Prince of Tennis season 8 ep 16, Cross Game Episode 34 - I'm sure you can more to add by looking further into a search. Kimi ni Todoke (ep 25), Lovely Complex (ep 11), and Itazura na Kiss (ep 8) all have one. (can only think of romantic ones right now xD). I know there a ton more. |
|
| Yay! Thanks! I gotta ask though... What search term did you use cause I looked on Google and Bing and for the life of me could not find any really lol! I know that I have seen new years episodes or specials before but trying to remember exactly which show it was is near to impossible it seems. :c) Bet you anything after new years I will remember them all! |
|
| yw ~ searched google for: anime new year episode there were lots of pages - the ones i gave were just on page 1 - i have a terrible memory so i have to be good at searching xD |

gINGEr said: well, sorry, had to do some stuff again. in my country Christmas is not a big holiday, i'm not even sure if someone is celebrating it, at least in non-religious families. on Christmas we work and study as usual, preparing for the upcoming New Year's celebration.Now I'm curious about the Russian new year... Do you have any traditions that go along with the holiday?? =D ---------------------------------------------- as far as i know, there's two general ways in celebrating New Year: traditional, with family, and obviously modern, with friends, colleagues, etc. sometimes these two ways are combined together. people spend the last days before NY in preparations, bying presents, food and alcohol supplies. that, of course, leads to some big traffic jams, queues in shops and lots of annoyance, even in my native town (which is relatively small). the hardest part is the 30-31 of December as everyone is still working / studying but have to prepare for the upcoming weekend. e.g., in my alma-matter we studied up to 31st, but as teachers also had to deal with the NY preparations, we just "rearranged" our schedule (read, moved our classes to a different date and then "forgot" to come). then, when the time finally comes and all preparations are over, all the family gather together to celebrate, at last. it's like a normal family holiday: everyone is sitting at the table, eating, drinking and chit-chatting until midnight. then we, as usual, rise our glasses, watching the New Year's appeal of our president and the so-called "striking of the Courant" (here i'm not sure how to translate it, so it's better to make a reference - by "Courant" i meant the Kremlin clock on Spasskaya tower, these - http://i.imgur.com/2x2IK.jpg). there's a tradition to make wishes while these clocks are striking, or even to write them down on piece of paper, then burn it, throw the ashes into your glass of champagne and drink it in order to make it happen. when the clocks stops beating their glorious 12 strikes and the New Year has technically come, we drank our champagne and proceed the celebration. threre's no general tradition in how to celebrate the NY after midnight so everyone just does what he wants to - meets with his friends and not-so-close relatives, goes to the street or just stays at home. i, when i was a teen, loved to 'cosplay' Father Frost (u know, the brother of your Santa) or his daughter, "Snegurochka" (not sure how to translate it, again, but the root "sneg" is for "snow" and the wikipedia sais she's a "Snow Maiden" so let it be; and yes, i was that handsome in my adolescence that i could dress-up as a woman and people couldn't see the difference until i started speaking) and then go to a random flat to celebrate with them. u see, we, Russians, are a command culture, so it's normal for us, especially at that day. people are tired after work, but both alcohol and the upcoming 10 weekends (our NY holidays lasts from 1st to 10th January) make them happy and extremely generous. there was a case when i came to a certain family to just celebrate and then lived with them for 5 days after that. ---------------------------------------------- hell, i think that my brief explanation turned out to be not-so-brief, so i'll just post some "points" that you, if you are interested, could ask me about it. i'll be happy to answer - the so-called "Old New Year" - our famous (and somewhat notorious) "Russian table" - our attitude to drinking - "Kalyada", the analogue of your Halloween "trick-or-threat" game - traditions, connected with the "New Year tree" (though, i think, they are a bit similar to your Christmas tree) of course, you could ask me about anything else, these are just the things you might be interested in, and since they are not mentioned in the text itself, i thought i should at least point them out. happy Christmas! :) |
