Ah the Yule Ball. Bah Humbug! Sure it is the most magical season and there is plenty of good food, but why in the world does it have to be a ball? Why can't it be something fun and comfortable? Like a pajama party?
No that can't be, instead you have to go out and buy a nice gown, painful heels, makeup, and spend hours making yourself look presentable. Well unless you are male then it is more easy being in a tux, but still requires a lot more work than a pajama party would!
Yule Balls are also only fun when you have a date. It is no fun being the third wheel. Ticking another box for a pajama party being much easier since you do not have to have a date. Not to mention, more fun!
OK, so food in a Yule Ball might be better quality, but the amount of junk food at other parties isn't to be scoffed at! Give me a pizza in pajamas any day over a steak in a ball gown. I don't see better food and uncomfortable clothing ever winning over comfort food and clothing.
Why can't people be smart in planning these events?
Then again, horny teens and pajama parties... maybe they had the right idea by not making it a pajama party.
The decorations are much prettier for a Yule Ball then a pajama party though, so I will give the ball the credit it is due for that.
Even still, I think I will go have a pajama party in the Room of Requirements! I'll also have my owl pick up some pizza. Who wants to join me?
