saber_ Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 (edited) As we know, Axl recently spoke about his yearly Halloween tree tradition. The concept of a halloween tree combines the spirit of Christmas with the motif of Halloween. It can easily be described as non-conformist. Since the halloween tree has a parallel with a christmas tree, it is safe to assume that Axl might celebrate this season in a non-conformist manner as well. Given what we know about Axl's celebration of Halloween, is it reasonable to think he might also celebrate a holiday such as Festivus? Think about it. Festivus has feats of strength, the airing of the grievances, an aluminum pole instead of a christmas tree(to reject the commercialism of chistmas), and festivus miracles. Since Axl is a non-conformist and has a Halloween tree tradition, do you think he also celebrates Festivus?

saber_ Posted December 22, 2012 Author Share Posted December 22, 2012 If not Festivus, perhaps some of you have ideas about how Axl might celebrate Christmas time?Using the halloween tree as a basis for extrapolation, what are some possibilites for how Axl might participate in a non-conformist holiday season? Maybe he just leaves the Halloween tree up for Chistmas too? Like a Nightmare Before Christmas thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalsh327 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Larry David had to have come up with Festivus, I thought that was more of a Jewish poking fun at Christians thing. I'm sure he does unorthodox things during all holidays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saber_ Posted December 22, 2012 Author Share Posted December 22, 2012 (edited) Larry David had to have come up with Festivus, I thought that was more of a Jewish poking fun at Christians thing.No, one of the writers on the show came up with it, Daniel O'Keefe. It has nothing to do with "Jewish poking fun at Christians thing." One of Festivus's core principles is the rejection of the commercialism of the season and culture. Axl has been rejecting commercialism in many ways lately, it would seem. ; ) Edited December 22, 2012 by brainsaber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that, and given Axl's unique personality, it is then reasonable to speculate about how Axl might modify Christmas and celebrate it in a non-conformist way, much as he does Halloween with the Halloween tree.If you don't like it, mark the fucking thread and stfu.

Yesiree, there's a real brain trust over there. No fanboys of any sort over there, no sir. Ha.Excuuuuuuuse me for making a humorous thread about how Axl might celebrate Christmas in a non-conformist way like he does Halloween. Maybe I'll go take a gander at your forum for ideas about how to make better threads. :wink: Edited December 22, 2012 by brainsaber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's both annoying and interesting that you seem to have no problem with that whilst lecturing me. Although I must say you did a real good job there of posturing and acting holier-than-thou. It was brilliantly hypocritical.

I'll tell you what I've got that you don't: the ability to discuss a premise that is based on the fact that Axl puts up a Halloween tree and therefore might celebrate Christmas atypically. I have no idea why my thread bothers you so much. Why do you even bump it? Why not just let it die? I mean, y'know, since you don't care so much. lolAxl believes in the airing of the grievances, even more evidence to suggest he would be supportive of Festivus if one of the band members celebrated it.
