Warnings: Grincheyness
[It's that wonderful, magical, beautiful time of year, isn't it? There's wonder and kinship and love in the air. The spirit of giving is abundant. It's truly the most wonderful time of the year, isn't it?]
[And no holiday season would be complete without some old person very loudly and publicly complaining about it.]
[Eggman appears to be sequestered away...somewhere. Where it is, it's dark and the only lights are from screens he's cobbled together and there's a perpetual sound of grinding metal somewhere in the background.]
[He looks...annoyed.]
From whatever empirical evidence I can gather, this time of year is supposed to be heartwarming. I'd like anyone out there to properly explain, within provable parameters, preferably with citations and sources to back your theory up, how that's even remotely possible.
[He takes a long, pointed sip of coffee from a new mug that he's very deliberately pointing towards the camera.]
And yes, I said "theory." I won't even entertain the notion of a hypothesis because I refuse to believe that any insight any one of you festive fools can conjure has the potential to be tested in any way that matters.
And before any one of you decides to present some sort of faith-based angle for this disgusting display of mirthful misery, I am going to assert that you stow it.
I'm eggnostic for a reason.

There's even a famous story about a guy who was a jerk at this time of year who got haunted by spirits into being a better dude.

I'll have you know that the only beings I can stand to be around are those I've created myself. And sadly, neither Metal nor Orbot or Cubot are here. If they were, I'd be making Orbot and Cubot do menial tasks for my amusement and I'd be working on powering up Metal with some of this world's native magic so that I could destroy Sonic.
[So maybe he's a bit lonely.]
[A bit.]
