We celebrate the end of one year and the chance to begin anew in the next. Family, friends, and lovers join together to ring in the New Year on New Year’s Eve, where the greatest tradition of all is the chance to share that very first kiss of the new year.
Happy New Year to all, and may this one be filled with love, health, and joy!
Beautiful!
Crappy editing is crappy. (Hey, I’m a poor, poor student…)
Anyway, I’m feeling bold, sooo… I fear it might not be a short story anymore, so there might be a few chapters… not many, but still.
Link is here
Solution!
Top: Gregory Landgraab. The guy mentioned in that one Adventure career chance card. (He doesn’t look anything like his great-grandson… Malcolm + random template Sim)
Middle: Morgana Goth. The puppet girl. (I’ve bred her by mixing her ancestors, Cassandra, Mortimer & Gunther. I don’t know where she got these cheekbones from, though)
Bottom: Stella Livorno. She was a great painter apparently, and the lover of Malcolm I. Only mentioned in a Glamour Life Stuff painting. (She is a mix between Cynthia Kim, Jennicor & Nylissit Tricou)
Wanna guess? Hint: It has somthing to do with a cance card, a puppet and a painting. One is not like the others.
(I don’t think I like this editing style…)
Looked up some random Sims who were only named in the Sims games but never made an appereance and here I am sitting at my desk at 11pm building a huge story in my head…
Anyone interested in Landgraabs?
I think I should probably reply in bulk, otherwise I will flood your dashboards with the same damn picture again and again. ^^

My curiosity, as usual, got the better of me, and I found the original on Youtube. I laughed so hard I started coughing and then crying and I had to pause it just after the 14 minute mark as I thought I was going to tinkle. I can’t believe this hasn’t been shown on Turner Classic Movies here in North America.
I can totally see why it’s a holiday classic. Even though it’s screamingly funny it has a very melancholy underlying theme.
Yes, the mix between funny and melancholy is great, especially for a holiday. Although, it was originally aired as a fill-in. It became quite popular after being regularly used as a fill-in on New Year’s Eve.

Now there is a classic I haven’t seen or heard of in years!
Well, I think that’s the matter with regional holiday classics. ^^

Here in Denmark it’s sent New Years Eve. Black and White version in English. It’s amazing and funny and perfect every year.
New Year’s Eve, too? Well, our countries are pretty close, so it makes a lot of sense, actually! And yes, it is perfect for holidays! We still watch it every years, my mother now for probably 40 years, and still like it. Although we know all the lines by heart by now.
That was my initial idea for the Holiday Classics Meme! Problematic thing: it’s not really a holiday thing (I guess… I’m not very familiar with the ‘holiday’ definition). It’s a german cult classic which is aired every New Year’s Eve… multiple times in many adaptions (one involves a humanoid talking bread, a bush and a sheep… Don’t ask). It’s an english skit originally, but I don’t think it’s popular outside of Germany.
Dinner for one
Ms. Sophie (played by an aged up Natasha Una) celebrates her 90th birthday with her closest friends. Unfortunatly they are all already dead, so her loyal butler James (John Mole) is doing his best to let her relive the good old times. She enjoys a five course dinner with her imaginary friends and James is advised to toast her before every meal in place of her dead friends. There are five meals and four toast per meals, so it gets wacky soon. James also has a little feud going on with the tiger fur on the ground- he tends to trip over it. It’s really wacky and funny and very beloved in my country.
I’m not sure if I can put it in the ‘Holiday Classics Meme’… Ah, heck, I’m doing it. If it doesn’t fit, it won’t be reblogged. Also, I’m sorry for the wall of text…
How awesome is this? I instantly recognized it! I had no idea this was popular in Germany too. It’s been a very long tradition to show the original English version of it on the “main” TV channel in Norway on December 23rd and it keeps going strong. This year over 2 million people watched it (out of a grand total of 5 million). 🙂
Awsome! Ours is English, too, just a German recording (with Frinton!) (we usually translate everything, so that’s kind of a great deal here). There’s just a Conférencier at the beginning, explaining the set-up for people who were/are not capable of understanding everything (it’s annually aired since the ’70s)
Here is the version they send in Norway. I think it actually might be the German recording. No explanation at the beginning, though. They tried sending the coloured version from a bit later one year, but people got very upset about that so they’ve been sticking to the old black and white one since. Very weird that it’s sent on December 23rd instead of New Years (I believe they do that in Sweden), but that’s how it is. For a large portion of the population, it’s just not Christmas unless they’ve seen this sketch the night before Christmas Eve!
This could actually be the DDR version, I believe! Oh, and yes, they tried to switch to a colored version, too. Same results. ^^ I think it’s such a cute holiday tradition to send it on the night before Christmas.
