I'm trying to remember names from the movie but I can only think of "Max" because of Bret's character. But uh. Him and Nicholas from Mardi Gras
You mean Mike and Scottie? (Or do you want me to ignore Scottie and just focus on Max? Because I could do that. Max is the gay one after all.)
who starts putting up decorations in october? Neither of them. They come home and Bump is there, covered in tinsel, and the whole place is decked the fuck out.
who buys the advent calendars? Scottie.
who places mistletoes all around the house? Again, Bump. (Maybe Scottie mentions it in passing and Bump like, internally gasps and decides that there needs to be mistletoe in the most random places and that they should have a Christmas party so that this mistletoe can best be utilized.)
who wraps the presents for other people? I feel like Mike is surprisingly good at wrapping presents and like, one person finds that out and asks if he’d be willing to wrap this present they have for someone, and he says yes, and then another person asks and he’s like “eh, why not” and then he ends up with like half the people in his philosophy class dropping presents on him to have him wrap them for their significant others, parents, room mates, etc.
who puts the final star/angel on the top of the christmas tree? Bump tries to and knocks over the entire tree because he couldn’t quite reach the top and instead of getting a step stool, he decides to try getting a running start and jump to get it up there. Then Mike and Scottie pick everything up and re-trim the tree. Bump was helping at first, and then ended up passing out on the couch. Scottie tries to get it up there but he’s just shy of getting it on, so then Mike leans in to give him a hand.
who’s the one that hates eggnog? Mike loves it - especially with nutmeg and just a hint of schnapps. Bump fucking loathes it and when he finds out Scottie has somehow never had egg nog he tells him he is a lucky person and should avoid it at all costs. But Scottie tries it anyway because who the fuck listens to Bump, and Mike watches him, trying to hide the fact that he’s actually???? Really excited???? Because he gets to watch Scottie try it for the first time???? And Scottie thinks, y’know, Mike seems to like it, so it can’t really be that bad, right? Wrong. He doesn’t understand why anyone would ever want to put it in their mouths. Ugh.But he forces a smile onto his face and when Mike asks him, looking all hopeful, his big brown eyes shining, Do you like it? He nods and gives a little “mhmm,” not having actually swallowed it yet. And then when Mike isn’t looking, he spits out what’s in his mouth and ends up tossing the remnants of the (thankfully small) glass into the ficus.
who’s the one that bakes christmas cookies for guests? Scottie. He even has a holiday apron and oven mitts.
who sends out the christmas cards? They both do. (And then Bump ends up signing the one for Mike’s cousins too) Scottie’s have cute little heartfelt messages, and Mike’s are either pretty generic Happy Holidays! shit, or have like a fucking essay length message, complete with a dad joke or too. (The long ones are saved for people like his parents, Lucy, Janine, Janice, and even Ann Marie. Erica is also familiar with these cards, but doesn’t get the long heartfelt ones anymore.)
who knows all the words to twelve days of christmas? Scottie knows all the words. Mike can get through most of it, but flubs the order on the last few. (And then you have Bump who knows even less than Mike, but will still sing it at top volume with more enthusiasm than I will ever be able to muster in my life. You would hate it.)
who’s the better snowman builder? Mike. Scottie’s is admirable. (They have a brief moment commending each other on their snowmen, and Mike, like, fixes the nose so it looks less crooked. And then the moment is ruined when a half drunk Bump crashes into both the snowmen, then attempts to fix them. Then laughs because ti ends up looking like a pair of snow boobs.)
who starts snowball fights? Bump. :| But then Scottie and Mike gang up on him. :D
who’s the one that wakes the other on christmas morning by playing christmas songs really loudly? Bump wakes them both up (and probably at least one neighbor) by blasting christmas songs at like six thirty Christmas morning. Scotty kind of makes a face for like, five seconds, before yawning, pulling on a Christmas sweater and Christmas socks, and heading downstairs. Mike just pulls the blanket around him and shuffles after Scottie. By the time they get down there, Bump is already asleep again. Scottie sighs and says he’ll get started on breakfast. Mike mumbles something about coffee.
