    Growing up as NES/SNES kids, Christmas was always an exciting time of year. My brother and I would usually get two new games for Christmas from our parents, and possibly a third from our grandparents. This was a golden era for us; back in the days of writing letters to Santa haha. Times have changed, but the memories haven't. Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to SNES drunk, and to all the wonderful people that comment on your videos and share the joy an nostalgia of yesteryear. 🎄🎅⭐✡

      Very similar here, although I had a couple years on my brother and sister, but still always had a wonderful Christmas due to my parent's hard work. So many great memories, a big one being in '95 where I got Chrono Trigger (which I wanted so badly being a huge RPG kid even at 11 years old) and having to pause the game for a solid hour to keep an eye on my siblings while my parents were entertaining guests.

    I liked the part where you brought up the idea of a Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball Christmas-themed ROMhack. I spent the rest of the video imagining what in the world that would even entail. A bunch of baseball players sad about not being able to spend the holidays with their families, I suppose.

    This season I was actually trying to play every single Super Mario World Christmas-related ROM hack, so I'm really happy to see this video! My personal favorite that I came across was Trouble in Snow Land, in which you play as a Shy Guy and explore many unique Christmas/winter-themed levels. There's a really cool secret world with even more creative levels that aren't like anything I've seen any other Christmas hack attempt, so I highly recommend it!

Every snowfall I end up thinking about the coziness of your voice, not in a weird way. It's like listening to a close uncle or an older brother. So I just want to thank you for these videos, and I also want to wish you a very merry Christmas!

      I have been into rom hacking for several years, but left for a while. When I came back, there were so many new hacks, so many new mods, that I experienced the same feeling of a new world opening up like you described! Even though I already experienced so much of it before. It's amazing, I really love rom hacking and modding and it makes me glad more and more people are getting into it. By the way, I recommend an iconic Super Mario World hack called "return to dinosaur land". It's a classic hack that uses all the pre-existing assets of the game, and create what feels like a long lost spiritual sequel to the game. Very good one!

    I wish there was a playlist feature in gaming where you could queue up all of the wintery missions, levels, etc. to play in succession, and the same with Halloween. Of course, they'd have to be digital games, downloaded onto the console, and would have to be parts of the game that you've progressed to before. Gaming doesn't have an equivalent of binging Christmas movies, and taking after other media would help it go more mainstream.
