Christmas Camp

Post by havoc » Tue Oct 02, 2012 12:30 pm

I am considering it.

Lights, trees, presents, (slightly evil) Santa, slutty elves, reindeer, Christmas movies, caroling, candy canes, hot chocolate, egg nog...maybe an elementary-school-esque Christmas pageant?

Still fleshing it all out, but yeah...the idea is there...

Since you have decided to include slutty elves, a pole in the north makes sense :)

Great idea though! I love it...

I would be really into this! Christmas is my absolute favorite and gathering up decorations for it would be awesome! What a fun idea :lol:

Wasn't Christmas Camp the original, first Burning Man theme camp?

I've had the same idea and would LOVE to participate in a Christmas camp! I don't see how it could be anything other than awesome.

This sounds great! Christmas in August sort of thing.
If it comes to fruition, I have an ass load of Christmas decorations and would be happy to donate some to the camp.

Now the quest for a minimal MOOP Xmas tree, or a plan to deal with the little green bits of plastic begins!

O man, maybe rather than a Christmas camp, its an XMas or XXXMas camp playing with the idea of the slutty elves.

Mmmmm, Christmas is so very flammable too!

I'll bring my Santa suit; maybe some wrapped gifts for the BIG man burn and maybe we can sacrifice my Reincorn. He's almost ready for a burning good time. :twisted:

My elves just ran off....I think they're confused.
