Christmas is one of the chat's two most-observed annual holidays (the other being 4/20). The corpus contains 57 distinct messages mentioning Christmas directly, distributed across all six years and six members. The volume is concentrated in the chat's last week of December and the first week of January each year.
The 2020-12-25 Steam thread
The chat's most-cited single Christmas message is from Evan Bbbender on 2020-12-25, in the chat's first formally-coded Steam field report:
"Man, steam is wild tonight" — Evan Bbbender, 2020-12-25
Matt supplies the chat's first Christmas-Steam-specific institutional observation the same day:
"Steam on xmas eve must be a festive place" — Matt, 2020-12-25
This Christmas Eve / Christmas Day Steam thread is the corpus's foundational Christmas observance. Subsequent Christmases have honored the precedent by re-opening Steam-related discussion, even when no actual visit is documented.
"Heathers family thinks it's weird I like a ham on thanksgiving"
The chat's first attested Christmas-adjacent food-philosophy line is by Evan Bbbender on 2020-11-25, in the run-up to the 2020 holiday:
"Heathers family thinks it's weird that I like a ham on thanksgiving" — Evan Bbbender, 2020-11-25
(See Heather (disambiguation) for the broader family context and Thanksgiving for the chat's parallel observance.) The line is preserved here as the corpus's earliest documented chat-internal cross-cultural holiday-meal observation.
2025-12-25 — the henny espresso martini Christmas
The chat's most-quoted single 2025 Christmas message is by Kyle Derrick on 2025-12-25:
"Was ist das? Espresso martinis?" — Kyle Derrick, 2025-12-25
This — the chat's first attested German-language interrogative — is the encyclopedia's preferred summary of the henny espresso martini late-2025 era and the proximate cause of the March 2026 Espresso Martini Month formalization. (See Henny and Espresso Martini Month for the broader arc.)
Christmas Eve renames
Christmas Eve itself has only once produced a chat rename: the 2025-12-31 Kyle Derrick post-Christmas, pre-New-Year My freund ass is always shitting on cum night 🙄 — which lasted 12 days before being replaced. This is the only Christmas-period rename in the chat's history; the chat's main holiday-period activity is concentrated in the food-and-drink register rather than the rename register.
