     ❛       basically    what    you're    saying   is    that   there   is   a   bush   ,    but   there   shouldn’t    be  a   bush   because   a   bush   doesn't    have   to  do   anything   with    fire    ,    right    ?    but    why   are   the   ones   who  do  put  bushes   putting  these   bushes   now   when   it's   still   november   ?      ❜    

         “ well... okay. yeah. for chanukah, there’s no bush. there’s actually a burning bush mentioned in the story of passover, but that’s-- that’s a different holiday so forget i said anything. ” stan closed his eyes for a moment and took a deep breath. he got this. “ i think it’s just that everyone is already so into the ‘holiday’ season and they want in on the festivities, you know? it kind of sucks to feel left out. ”

fucking-trashmouth:

“So——all the same shit y’do on normal Christmas basically?” He screwed up his eyes, then shoved his hands into his pockets and kicked at the dirt, shaking his head. “Jesus, Stanley. Anyway, I don’t know if I wanna eat potato pancakes. I mean, I like pancakes——but fuckin’ potato pancakes? That sounds weird as shit, man.”

          “Whatever you say, Richie.” Stan rolled his eyes, but let his annoyance go. Despite what most people might think, Stan had the patience of a saint when it came to his friend. That was why now, rather than getting upset, the boy let it roll off of him. Like teflon, as his parents would say. “ Don’t think of them as pancakes. Think of them as.... weirdly large and weirdly flat french fries. They’re actually really good. ”

      ❛       so    ,    there's    no    such   thing   that’s   called   a   chanukah    bush    ?      ❜    

         “ no. there isn’t. or, I guess, there is. but it’s only for people to try to make chanukah more like christmas. why would we have a bush? it makes zero sense. our holiday is about FIRE. that’s just... a fire hazard. ”

the-placebo-effect:

He cast a sidelong glance at the other boy, blinking, hands shoving deeper into his pockets as they walked. “Three times? Sheesh.” He looked back down at the sidewalk, dampening his lips slightly, tasting the cold. “—I don’t think anybody’s wished me a merry Christmas yet—guess you’re lucky they weren’t wishing you a shitty one.” He paused—suddenly wondering if Stan was actually bothered, and glanced in his direction again. “—sorry though, people are dicks.” 

          “Honestly, sometimes I wish they would.” He didn’t really like complaining about it-- why should he? Christmas was a time of year where everyone in Derry seemed at their happiest. All that good will towards men stuff, he guessed. His friends were usually at their happiest, too, always blabbering on about Christmas lists and what they thought they’d be getting this year and plots to find out what their parents had gotten ahead of time. It was also like there was this magic floating around that everyone else could feel. Just not Stan. He didn’t even believe in magic, but there was something in his gut that felt an uncomfortable envy. Being left out was never fun. “ No, you’re right. It’s fine.” Stan shook his head and put on some attempt at a happy face. “And merry Christmas, Eddie. Even if it is the beginning of November.”
