Xanderwood and Xanderwood 2 are the same person.

I think you’re onto something!

Neat idea! I included it in my XanderJam 3 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

This was awesome, thanks!

Xanderwood, a gamer by day but super hero at night, fighting heinous criminals in a pink bunny suit and cricket bat!

Xanderwood is a tree that has taken the soul of a lumberjack that attempted to cut him down. That lumberjacks name was Xander. I think I solved it.

Actually, that is an inaccurate theory. How would he be able to talk? I think that it is the other way around, in which that the tree was a dead tree, and it had a ghost. As Xander, the Lumberjack, was cutting it down to make space for a new tree, the ghost tree entered Xander's body and possessed him, creating who we now know as Xanderwood.

Or something, I don't know...

Donuts and Mayo, why not donuts and creme  or jelly?? Lol

I believe Xanderwood is a benevolent fairy gifted to mankind to bless us with beautiful music, kind words and to inspire hope in us all. Also, I believe he looks like this:
