If Luke wants to add a two minute “this week’s page of dinosaurs” to every SOTWE next year, I would not be disappointed

[@westcoastweaver8403]

I would fully support Luke's petition to do just that.

[@SirFlopsy]

That or at least 3 episodes fully dedicated to the book. More would certainly be fine.

[@valiroime]

Do it! Do it! Do it!

[@Reids0me]

Please do this!

[@rich_in_paradise]

Luke: I can't believe it's going to be 2024 Ellen:

[@Zyrachiel]

The greatest Christmas gift of all, existential dread.

[@stephanied3970]

Exactly! I felt that deep in my soul too XD lol

[@btchplease9758]

The Westaway tradition shall be preserved.

[@ethanlappin]

I don't see it catching on though

[@Martyn_Wolf]

Hmm... let me think we already do that don't we it's called Shitmas

[@TheOmegaXicor]

@@ethanlappin and when we get crap gifts that we say we like we can call the next day Boxing up Day, it might catch on actually. FYI those gifts were great, I don't think they will be boxed up tomorrow (well the day after three weeks ago when they filmed this)

[@galghoul3042]

Your username paired with that killer Unohana pfp is absolutely a Christmas present by itself.

[@Joe90h]

You obtain objects and... instead of keeping them, you 'present' them to other people? But then, wouldn't you have less things of your own? That seems like a net loss. Unless there's some other, intangible factor I'm missing that is gained through selflessly giving to others? No, I'm afraid I can't wrap my head around this.

[@frodobaggins7710]

Good of Luke to give us the best present at the end: existential dread

[@coreysierchio4650]

Show of the Weekend on a Monday? Truly a Christmas Miracle!

[@mar_speedman]

Oh wow that really screwed up my internal calendar. Thanks for reminding me that it isn't saturday and that I should watch Luke and Andy's DCOM podcast xD

[@ethanlappin]

Omg yeah I hadn't even realised

[@amoschew3609]

Guess you could say this is a... Show of the Week?!

[@loftie4822]

The oxtra presents videos have actually become a part of my Christmas tradition at this point

[@ethanlappin]

I look forward to going through the dinosaur annual in excruciating detail over the coming weekends of the year

[@MsKornkitty]

I'm not superstitious and that dice roll still made me nervous. 😆Please let next year be better for everyone.

[@jocosesonata]

Although, for some reason, I got the ominous feeling that it should've been rolled with disadvantage.

[@landonewts]

Amen. We could all use a break.Either way, SOTW keeps us happy and (relatively) sane.

[@merepseu]

Don't worry. It's Jane that decides our fate, not Luke or Ellen.

[@apemanolly]

I was half expecting a 1 crit fail

[@merepseu]

@@apemanolly Imagine the number of takes they cut where the magical die of prophecy dared to answer true.

[@apocrypha5363]

This Westaway tradition, strange as it is, could just catch on.

[@BogeyTheBear]

There's the other tradition of kidnapping a pine tree and hanging cat toys off the branches.

[@Jonathon_Hennessey]

Merry Christmas to Outside Xtra and everyone else in this community. I'll see all of you in the new year.

[@albatarrida7587]

You two are the loveliest people to ever come out of a computer screen and just make everyone feel as family😍Thank you for keeping this going with the same dedication and care as day 1, you are definitely special people🥰🥰🥰

[@murrayreid2748]

And in the best of Kitty Cat traditions,when Ellen/Merilwen changes into cat form she'll also make use of the box the pokeball was gifted in too!!😼😋

[@Prawnsly]

my family must be a distant branch of Westaways because we do something similar, but we call them "Christbirth exchanges"

[@TheOmegaXicor]

Jon "This better not be nice and thoughtful otherwise I'll cry" Also Jon: leaves the others on the couch so he can zoom in on the glass so we don't see him cry.

[@schroedingerscat5405]

Ellen is Rocking that Spider Christmas Sweater!

[@BENch_Gaming44444]

I relate so much to Luke when wrapping presents. How do people make it look so easy!

[@catjazzhappycat7273]

I like how all 3 of them reacted to their gifts, such happiness and joy from each.

[@p4vlichenk0]

I'm brazilian so our Christmas celebrations were yesterday (I think some places only celebrate on the 25th, right?) and I ate so much I actually couldn't sleep. You can bet I'm glad to have these two making me company in this early morning! Love the gifts and the Spider-Gwen sweater Ellen is wearing. Merry Christmas and happy holidays everyone!

[@Ashley-xu1lk]

I'm American and technically they are celebrated in the 25th but even here hispanics/latinos celebrate on the 24th so my celebrations were also yesterday lol Merry Christmas!

[@vanillanoxfleuret]

I, for one, look forward to the dinosaur show of the weekend for the foreseeable future

[@joestacey6185]

"Will 2024 be good?" "What's the world like at the moment?" "Oh yeah... Roll with disadvantage."

[@laterkater4213]

Well this was just delightful. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!

[@CaitlinRC]

Merry Christmas and a happy festive season to you all. This community is amazing and I'm excited to see what other presh mems we can all make together in future :)

[@maryearly3259]

AWWW It's nice to know that you guys as a group really do know and care about each other including poor Jon. This was an absolutly wonderful and cute show today. Thank you for sharing it with us. Happy Holidays!!!!!!!

[@thunderb2473]

The artstyle on the glass really reminds me of the deadlands character arts 😂. Merry christmas, folks 😊

[@anceallachfeargach]

Christmas appearance of the Cameraman Jon!

[@AngelBeatYunara]

Merry Christmas and happy holidays, Oxtra! May you have a lovely end of the year!

[@Brasc]

Great presents all around, but Holy Heck that Producer Jon gift! Was that sitting in some corner shoppe down a forgotten alley in London Town?

[@simmadpaul2880]

Ellen's laugh is the best Christmas pressie. Merry Christmas

[@glenharris9366]

Yo that's crazy, me and my family just finished handing each other these "Christmas presents". Perhaps we're actually distant Westaways after all!

[@Artificer1911]

I like the deluxe Adjudicator (our group's name for the giant d20s) that Luke got. I, too, DM and constantly think of the ocean.

[@AlexanderOsias]

Spider-Gwen jumper! Awesome!

[@mikeberg6407]

If anyone finds someone who looks at them the way Luke looks at that dice, you put a ring on them.

[@ka-mai]

Can I just have the dice instead?

[@yourfriendlyinternetmeatshield]

I love your two chemistry. Youre so hilarious and great together

[@alcian91]

I adore Ellen's christmasy Spider-Gwen sweater! At first I was confused seeing a spider on it untim I saw all of it. I also got one of these pokeball figures. As far as I know they're handmade and they can't send them per mail

[@SimuLord]

Nice of Luke and Ellen to bring their dad on camera for a family portrait at the end. (speaking as a bald guy-my avi picture was taken in 2006 and I've never bothered to update it-all I have to do in order to look 15 years younger is to put on a hat.)

[@AdrianColley]

Damn, you guys found some really nice stuff for gifts. That must have taken a few days of toil in the consumerism mines of Tantalus 9.

[@GriffinWolf]

Luke is one of those people where the joy of presents truly is in the giving; he is SO excited about everything and so pleased by the gifts that I just want to send him new things every week. Side note: "all you need is a friend- ohh." Was pretty much my experience growing up. Cleaning up for xmas, my mum asked me why I never played any of the board games she got me as a child. Because... who would I play them with?!

[@ravenspurplebeats5412]

that cat wrapping paper itself is piece of art also.

[@tobiastzfanya3949]

You have a big D20 and a 'roll the dice' game with 20 spaces on it. A perfectly balanced combination!

[@zacharysmith4856]

My Christmas was not complete without Show of the Weekend! Thanks Luke, Ellen, and Jon! And happy holidays, everyone!

[@Icam_here]

i think this westerway tradition could catch on more then the theory that Link is Doomguy

[@MariKurisato]

Luke's deadpan explanation of the estoric ritual called Christmas Presents is part of why I like this channel just a wee bit more than other... similar shows.jk i love them all!

[@joylessgaming]

Some ancestors or Luke's must have passed on this family tradition to some of my ancestors because we've been practicing this "present" giving thing in my family for ages, on the other side of the world. Greetings from OZ and Merry OXmas to you lot.

[@Lady_Sanctuary]

The Westaway Tradition, The Westaway Gambit? What's Nextaway?

[@lizabee484]

Honestly very happy that my viewership and engagement is turning, alchemy-like, into present-buying money for the Oxtra crew. Happy holidays to you lot!!

[@lyledal]

Chickens, seagulls, and... cassowaries! That last one will leave you with no doubts that dinosaurs still live among us!

[@ClumsyByFact]

Merry Christmas to everyone in OX, and merry Christmas to everyone else in this community. Everyone is really nice and it's great to be part od such nice and loving community ❤

[@naughtybeast]

That is a cool d20. Merry Christmas to you all! Thank you for your entertaining videos :)

[@MandibleBones]

Seeing the genuine joy on these two nerds' faces makes me happy.

[@MetharosKM]

I'd like to extend my heartfelt thanks to the Westaway family for establishing the tradition of Christmas gift-giving enjoyed around the world.

[@cactustactics]

I'm with Luke on the scuffed wrapping - but it just makes it easier for people to open! It's a Christmas kindness if you think about it!

[@suntanironman]

Oh, wow. Is my family related to the Westaways? We have the exact same family tradition! What a small world. Merry Christmas, cousin Luke.

[@ZMacDougall]

Luke your attempt at wrapping might have been abysmal, but you picked some awesome wrapping paper, and you tried which is the most important part. Hope you guys are having a very merry Xmas, and a happy new year.

[@bigmoviegamer1037]

History was made here today. This tradition surely will catch on. Sounds like such a splendid idea.

[@easydiesel]

Luke's real gift to Ellen was perfectly teeing up that "present-tation" pun

[@muzzyman1981]

Happy Holidays to everyone and thank you to the Outside Xtra and outsidexbox teams for all the great times.

[@ASoulphoenix]

Ellen's spider-gwen sweater looks so cool and comfy. And i love the D20 she gave Luke

[@green_dragon_knight]

Merry Christmas Outside Xtra! Thanks for all the fun and joy you bring all through the year 🎉 😊

[@Storm0483]

The sweater game in this video is off the charts! What lovely thoughtful presents, and of course, this Show of the Weekend is the Christmas present for the fans. I mean, you didn’t forget to get us a present, did you?

[@STRAKAZulu]

Loving the arachnophobe Ellen wearing a Spider-Gwen “ugly” sweater. And Jon is a lucky guy. I had all those cups, but lost them in a house fire.

[@nomeaknat]

The love y'all have for each other is why you are my fave. Merry Christmas and happy holidays!

[@TsiolkovskySportingLocks]

Merry Christmas you wonderful pair ! You’ve brought so much joy and positivity into my life this year. I really hope you have a truly wonderful and merry Christmas and a superb New Years!

[@AdrianColley]

7:40 "some of their distant relatives still live among us" Clearly, that book went to print before the latest research on turtles came out. Turtles are descended from dinosaurs.

[@straydogstrut115]

This was so lovely😊 Oxtra giving us the best gift of all with all the wholesome feels🥰 Happy Christmas all x

[@beck7607]

Merry Christmas to you three, and the whole Oxtra crew! And Merry Christmas to the community here, one of the most wholesome places on the internet and looking forward to 2024!

[@BudBonkerson]

This Westaway's onto something! (The gifts look amazing!) I hope you all have a great Christmas ⛄

[@MrUkraider]

Merry Christmas, everyone, especially Luke and Ellen and producer Jon. Those presents are awesome, nicely done everyone involved, so thoughtful.

[@Formoka]

This is adorable. Happy Holidays guys. You’re all awesome! 🎉

[@katfromthekong414]

So nice to see producer Jon! Happy holidays, guys! 🎉

[@sam8119]

This was awesome and adorable! Merry Christmas and happy holidays everyone!

[@AlexanderOsias]

It is heartwarming to see that the dynamic we saw at the start of the channel has blossomed into this friendship so many years later. Merry Christmas to all of you!

[@nicocrestmere9688]

Happy Holidays to you and yours. Thanks for another year of babysitting all of us. -Also Producer Jon, I had that very same StarWars glass when it first came out. 😊

[@tomgymer7719]

Merry Christmas! And this is so sweet!

[@leafandryly]

The wonderful giving of gifts to friends. I don't know what that's like but I love these videos. Happy Christmas

[@samuxan]

my wrapping skills are the same as lukes. Knowing i'm not the only one is a gift

[@Cinetyk]

You guys have put many a smile on my face over the years. Thanks for all that and cheers! Happy holidays.

[@lokilowkey3049]

You guys are always amazing, adding John to the gift list is a great idea. John is the magic behind the camera, we love him. Merry Xmas!!!

[@deanospimoniful]

Merry Christmas, you two. Here's to a great 2024!

[@KizuRai]

Luke is just an 8 year old boy xD A sparkly die and a book about dinosaurs, love that for him

[@jamesmurray2690]

Luke mentioned how they rendered Obi-Wan, and as soon as I saw it I thought it was present day Roger Taylor from Queen. Seriously, look him up, he has the white beard and everything! 🤣🤣🤣

[@tadsnyder2756]

Ellen wearing a Spider-Man sweater as an arachnophobic is a pretty good touch

[@docette2015]

Happy Holidays! You two are such adorable friends, and I'm all for dinosaur content on Show of the Weekend. XD And Yay for Producer Jon getting a cool vintage BK SW glass!

[@mannyichi]

Merry Christmas! Sending much love from Texas!

[@spikefinney5384]

A rare sighting of producer Jon. I wonder how many people are at OutsideXbox HQ?

[@xtifr]

Forget chickens and seagulls--the descendants of the dinosaurs include the amazingly brainy ravens and crows, the creative bowerbirds, and those astounding mimics, the lyrebirds! These are great reasons to be a fan of modern dinosaurs as well as the ancient ones!

[@theeristicwriter8280]

this was so wholesome. I love it. you guys are fantastic

[@stone5against1]

Merry Christmas to you two and everyone else!

[@AidanTempest]

Wrapping Presents is a Skill I would never think "You didn't try very Hard", my thought would be "Wow, you are not very good at this LOL"

[@theM4ce]

I love how bold choice Ellen's sweater is for an arachnophobe. You guys rock!

[@Victorina]

This was lovely as always, happy holidays to everyone at oxtra ❤

[@SlyRatchet4]

Merry Christmas and Happy Hoildays everyone at OX.

[@GreyishBobbi]

This is so wholesome, thank you for sharing.

[@Daktangle]

Luke being captivated by his present like a baby and some keys.

[@Artificer1911]

"That means I can trust this information" Immediately turns to page of stegosaurus where the backplates are up.

[@MsCunningLinguistic]

This is so pure. 😭❤️

[@JumpingTomato]

How is it possible that every single SotW made me laugh? And I watched every single one of them at least twice. Yes, every single one! Waching these is the best 15 minutes of my week.

[@clockworkmonsters8590]

Jon is so sweet, "It better not be thoughtful or I'll cry" XD

[@SageMercurius]

Merry Christmas! Good to see the annual from where I work making an appearance ^_^

[@HollyriousYT]

Merry Christmas Oxtra!! ❤

[@gorgondork]

I can't stop laughing. Yall are the best. Happy Holidays!
