#never intending to pin things down decisively & as ever like with the xmas shows no such thing. more spontaneous flexible & free than that

[unproduciblesmackdown]

time for the hints & threads of Christmas Wish Family Reunions Adjacent To "All I Want For Christmas Is You" as i can trace them

1st & 2nd xmases: all i Know thanks to this video is it's 2nd xmas that has lance rubin as himself like i wish lance rubin's father could be here to see me perform "all i want for christmas is you" towards the end of the show....

& i Know both roles were also in the very first xmas show, but of course anyone's otherwise uninformed guess whether this went the same or similarly then or was a total first into second Shakeup. meanwhile feel free again w/the alternate angle from an alternate show from 2nd annual xmas here

3rd xmas: or the cozy ars nova one, as i like to think of it....plausibly the first appearance of mister macabee as well as that first iconis wrole ft. peter the coffee kid? well here's our aiwfciy video

ft. none of the potentially present dialogue before or after but jeremy morse is there Somewhere, potentially reprising [lance rubin's father], seemingly not in the backup singers / dancers group although mister macabee & will roland as will roland are, & christmas around the world, & the macarena, & seems that endzone riffing is making some reference to the "hooray for lance rubin's father showing up" plot point. [little of the audience shown] vantage point pros & cons

4th xmas: no rubins no morses this xmas show but again I Think the first sickly british ragamuffin perhaps? seen here in the aiwfciy with seth eliser's character, corresponding to will roland's officer rossi the christmas burglar, but who knows what relationship between [seth's character] & [ragamuffin] & what possible plot point here? not me

5th xmas: welcome to 54 below, bitch....

shoutout to again the sage sweater under red tee xmas outfit, jared weiss's christmas pants....again no idea about any possible plot points here, no helpful dialogue, adjacent ragamuffin & katrina rose dideriksen's xmas beach episode doesn't seem to give anything away. if there's a lance rubin's father it's not jeremy morse with whom we're getting perhaps the first baby it's cold outside & then fast forward to "not sure what the plot is around the presence of That Old Man but here's julia mattison intent on hitting that" reverberations between 5th annual mister maplestone & gladys levine & 11th annual melvin cooterstein & phyllidia krampington, 5th annual of the will roland mister chestnut's christmas medley (a sequence present in 4th annual xmas), of that likewise fancily filmed here comes santa claus, rocking & rolling for sure w/5th annual many videos....but before you think there's only Not AIWFCIY Family Reunionesque Info, there's also this:

lance rubin seemingly as lance rubin with a Plastic Novelty Candy Cane to be pensive over? like what holds the ashes of joe iconis as joe iconis's extended family from jackalope holler in more recent xmas years? (yes) & is that alexandra ferrara of what will be further xmas years' Magical Family Reunions With Lance Rubin Around AIWFCIY with slightly different choreography in this number & i could sure read into the "setting aside the candy cane to see & dance with this figure only for them to depart & you're dancing with the candy cane again but you'll be fine" as setting up later magical family reunions but that's all semi-informed speculation. forever lots going on with hard candy christmas sequences; again a floutist is there

6th xmas: & now, thanks to lyrics, it can be said by me we've Definitely made the journey from [all i want for christmas is you "reunion" with lance rubin's father] to [with lance rubin's sister]

is she a velociraptor(tm)? as you know, another one in the realm of i personally can't say....dancing gets me every time in these, i Can personally say. we can all also look at photos from this year, some more wrol mister chestnuts for you

& i bet a gladys n maplestone bico again it looks like, & one of those particularly genderously free for all virgin mary dancer years, & susan blackwell xmas villain whose redemption involves Is A Nun Now & whatever's going on there w/ragamuffin ft. maybe this doesn't have anything to do with lance rubin as lance rubin family reunions but he's sure reacting to it & adjacent to macabees reunion too, maybe not the first time we get this but the first time i'm detecting it. thanks, photos

7th xmas: great that there's more photo articles available about xmases now b/c don't think there's Videos of songs to help us out with this one. much to see, multiple ragamuffins even with just the one classic Sickly British lauren marcus role, introducing julia mattison xmas villain phyllidia krampington, introducing jeremy morse xmas villain ineffective henchman (as speculated at some length by me) the hick (in overalls), perhaps introducing will roland uncle peenie & aunt lorette? oh & a sweet baby jesus pic is here, reminding me to mention he definitely cropped up for 6th xmas too, extra relevant for potential miraculous reunions. & on the family reunions around aiwfciy note, as identified recently:

LANCE! AND NANCE!

8th xmas: pics this time from bwayworld, ft. potential for more info with the captioning

novelly decidedly have the Joe's Flashback element, again as per the measure of: as far as i personally am aware. belly button puppeteers in the hard candy christmas segment (a wrole) & uncle peenie (another wrole) & aunt lorette more familiarly styled lol though variations are always possible, phyllidia/the hick as villain/henchman bico it seems, (the ghost of) bob dylan is here, another wrole as virgin mary dancer like 8th annual whew....

perhaps time for a sweet baby jesus miracle & lance rubin is there?

immediately followed by what sure looks heartwarming enough to be a magical family reunion towards the end of the show, perchance just in time for an all i want for christmas is you? only one party hasn't (known to me) already been a magical family reunion aiwfciy participant before? bit fucked up about like speaking of shaking up familiar looks, where's the red tee over green sweater. rolling w/it

9th xmas: but never fear, the red tee is back, as is wrangling playbill's carousel display format for these pics

which makes it seem more likely something other than an [as themself] role when there's a costume change (so was 8th annual's Different Outfit a Different Role as well?) here ft. The Flashback

ft. philip jackson smith (8th annual's flashback jason, 12th annual's flashback joe, 9th annual's flashback [???]) & alexandra ferrara of previous magical family reunions with lance rubin, ft. the baby tree

& of course seth eliser in the mix again for good measure

even better measure, some more Family Reunions materials

& of course now the all i want for christmas is you, with lance, alexandra, seth, & there's philip jackson smith as flashback [?] & sweet baby jesus just nearby, & the reference to the Time Traveling

10th xmas: pics a bit more mysterious like this is probably the flashback but you'd hardly know it from the article alone

later on getting likewise Mostly Inferrable reunion magic

& along the way krampuses, cardboard cutout gettyimages christian borles, first Definite To Me fancy tree, the little evalina role is here re: all i want for christmas is you presumably & the Immediate Adjacency of that song to magical family reunions, if patterns hold

11th xmas: bwayworld pics offer those aforementioned melvin cooterstein glimpses, plausible [the krampus sings hard candy christmas] year, eric william morris mislabel, no sign of end of show reunions unless you count a pic of little evalina as implicit aiwfciy, & Flashback looks ft. again afaik first definite look at extended family Animal Band of jackalope holler

truly with overalls but no white tank top more a Maybe still hearing his voice than with 12th xmas's pics ft. flashback joe glimpses & little evalino all i want for christmas is you post-magical reserections. & of course can crack into 13th xmas pics with bevested abf flashback joe, animals extended family band, little evalina aiwfciy, & the So Much More of every xmas. & of course, hell, look at 14th xmas pics

naturally too if you spin off of those first several christmas show's "if only my father could be here to see this" in terms of like as many elements as possible, like [reunited with long lost family, whether presumed or actually dead or alive. wanted] or [reunited with family, not that lost] or Reunions or Family or It Was More Heartwarming Before You Kept Talking But Oh Well Yaayyy or Gay Sex like christmas spectacularextravaganza elements are all around you
