Rei's Festivus (Johnsonverse)

Billed as the first Festivus special, this hour-long Monster World special was aired on December 23, 2014. In the special, Rei tries to bring Festivus to NERV after watching the Seinfeld episode introducing the concept, as well as a failed stint as a mall Santa (posing as Santa's daughter) that ends badly when Hikari makes fun of her and Rei, desiring revenge for all the times Hikari used slapstick on her, attacks, and is promptly fired. Her plans quite humorously fail, and comes to a head when she accidentily creates a rift between Shinji and Asuka. Not wanting them to break up and ruin her plans to get them together, she comes forth with the truth, causing Shinji to disown her. Walking the streets of Tokyo alone on Christmas Eve, Rei is found frozen on a park bench by Hikari, who takes her in and proves to Rei she doesn't hate her; meanwhile, Shinji and Asuka regret lashing out at Rei, and become distressed when they learn Rei has run away, causing them to round up a search party. That night, Rei discovers Cyber-Ritsuko trying to steal Christmas again; she runs the second she sees Rei. Then the Invadors randomly send Gigan and Megalon to attack a shelter for widows and orphans (an action that even Rei questions the logic of), so she and Hikari remotely call their Evas and defend it alongside Godzilla. Gigan and Megalon are sent packing, apologies are made, and everyone has a Merry Christmas.
