Nothing can compare to the feeling that my two favorite holidays are almost here. Alex posted her favorite vine so I thought I should share my favorite vines that depict the holiday season. Thanksgiving break is only 14 days away and I couldn't be happier for it to get here. Thanksgiving to many people means a full week of non stop eating, but to me this year it means seeing and hugging my sisters for the first time since August. I am beyond excited, but after that hug comes all the eating. My entire extended family will be in town this year to celebrate.
The vine below depicts a family sitting around the table about to eat their Thanksgiving dinner when their son decides to run outside and smash it. You can hear their screams in the background as the turkey hits the ground. As I watch the vine I can only picture what would happen if one of my cousins or myself decided to do this. Not only would my family be furious, but they would probably never let me come home for Thanksgiving dinner again. My dad spends hours cooking the turkey and if I was to injure his art he would be crushed.
After Thanksgiving comes the best time of year, Christmas!!! The vine below describes my life perfectly. I have started to bug my roommate already about decorating for Christmas, she finally gave in and let me start playing Christmas music. I have started to buy Christmas presents for family and friends. I love Christmas. You could call me Buddy the Elf. Whenever someone seems to hate Christmas I will send them this vine and it never fails to help them get in the spirit. I think it is because her facial expressions and tone.
As Alex stated sound plays a huge part in humor. Both of these vines use sound to their advantage. The Thanksgiving one uses the family screaming to add to the feeling of the vine. It creates a sense of panic and makes the vine even more funny. While the Christmas vine uses different tones to get its point across. Without the different tones the vine wouldn't be funny.
We need of course to discuss the holidays and Christmas as comic fodder at some point--there is a close connection. The Holidays in general have a connection to the comic spirit--they try to shed light at a dark time. Holidays are a response to seasonal depression, and thus have a natural comic aspect.
