Ooo... this sounds fun. But I'm not entirely sure how to go about it. I'd see a comedy RPG the best result for one such holiday game since plots can easily go with mocking Christmas tales and carols. But nevertheless, it's simple to make one. Make something about Christmas being stolen like the good ole Grinch or maybe even a story about people having to find the legendary spirit of Christmas in the land of... er... well... Christmas!

I was actually thinking of one such idea for a holiday RPG myself. It's kinda raw so it's not really good for it. But maybe this should be done.

Well, what I was thinking was throwing just big OB holiday party. I'd be the dude passed out on the couch from egg nog! LOL! Yeah, that was more along the lines of what I was thinking, but those are good as well. But, as MY Christmas RPG, I'm just going to throw the biggest, bitchenist party on the OB. All of my OB family will automatically be invited.

Meh, works for me. But try to avoid just a random party without plot. It'd definately turn to "Padded Party Room," which was, though fun at the time, an insane spamfest because it was a RPG about nothing, but sitting around and partying.

So all I suggest for your cool idea is to spark in some kind of plot, so the members aren't just sitting around and chatting the whole RPG. Have a reason for the party aside from Christmas or just simply make stuff happen. Just suggestions :)

Hmmm....Yultide RP? Well...hmm...I guess I should make a sort of 'fill in the blanks' thing because that's exactly what my mind is right now:
[SIZE=1][COLOR=Red]
There is a ________ (holiday{ex/ Kwanzaa, Christmas}) party that is brought to a screeching halt by ________(Main Bady Guy/Guys) who decide that _______(Holiday) is a bane upon humanity, and want it destroyed. Therefore, the _______(Holiday) party is brought to a halt, and the __________ (Heroes), who are but mere mortals, attempt to save (Holiday) from utter destruction by _______(Bad Guy)...

Now, you can elaborate on that, and it does look downright silly, but here's how I would do it...

There is a [U]Christmas [/U]party, that is brought to a screeching halt by [U]an Evil Cabal of Atheist Ninjas [/U]who decide that [U]Christmas[/U] is a bane upon humanity, and want it destroyed. Therefore, the [U]Christmas[/U] party is halted, and [U]the Noble Samurai[/U], who are but mere mortals, attempt to save[U] Christmas[/U] from utter destruction at the hands of [U]the Atheist Ninjas[/U]...[/SIZE][/COLOR]

Okay, so that's not my best work, but it is not my worst (Ultima Tournament...*shudders*) And it does look rather silly at first glance...hmm...well, a holiday RP would probably rather silly, wouldn't it? How would you go about a Yuletide RP that had a cohesive plot and still have it be holiday-ish? Dragon Warrior brought up the 'Padded Party Room' which I've never seen (Still a n00b at heart...) but sounded kind of like fun, if it were done correctly by the right people. Well, it's not quite christmas yet, now is it? There is still time to formulate a plot to make a successful Yuletide RP...

Actually, you make a good point about Holiday RPGs. You seem to have a firm grasp of an idea, but elaborate some. A party sounds cool, but as to your comment about you being the guy passed out on the couch, hehehe. I might be the person keeping the wall company (huh, like always).
But, you have inspiration Abel the Wicked. Use it wisely.
