Geekmas

Geekmas is a long standing tradition within The Constant Struggle, and is essentially a Christmas celebration flavored very heavily with geek ingredients such as video games, tabletop games, and role play. Never come to a Geekmas without your dice! Or a towel.

Geekmas has taken different forms over the seven years we have been celebrating it, but currently Geekmas is a two day celebration composing of Geekmas Eve and Geekmas Day.Everyone gathers together on Geekmas Eve, and plays games together (or does last minute shopping). A giant hearty meal is served on the night of Geekmas Eve for all, normally including a Turducken, among other vegetables and pastas. There is always a pollyanna (Secret Santa) included in Geekmas, and presents for the Pollyanna are given on the morning of Geekmas Day. Everyone gathers around the Christmas tree in their pajamas, and for those who enjoy cereal, there is usually plenty to be had. The price cap for Pollyanna presents is always $60, but like most other guidelines of the Pollyanna, it is often broken.

Geekmas has its roots in the small Christmas Party thrown in Geek Sanctuary II during Christmas of 2006. The pollyanna then consisted of only five people: the residents of Sanct II. The geeklings, new Freshman members of the group and Alternate Universes, were a little upset about not being included in the Pollyanna, and responded by buying presents for EVERYONE. The resulting Christmas party was a remarkable success, and each Geekmas that has come after it has been bigger and better.
