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…

Happy 2018, guys! (One day I’ll take a new New Year’s Eve picture)

Back at home both of them feel a bit giddy from all the juice and attention…

“Dearest Jan-”

“Oh… oh no, honey, get up!”

“Whaaa?”

“No, honey, please don’t. Listen, I really like you but… we’ve got such a sweet thing going on right now and-”

“Chill, I was serenading you.”

“Oh. Sorry for freaking out.”

“But if I was proposing… you wouldn’t want to marry me? Like, ever?”

“Leo, I just… maybe someday. But I’m happy with my life right now, with us. It’s so uncomplicated, let’s not screw this up by doing something stupid like marriage…”

“…Alright.”
