Thanks for stealing my line...sort of...



okay, I don't really care




Buzz- try to actually enjoy the holiday and make it about something that you and your wife care about because only then will you be able to give real meaning to the day.

prison movies.

Shawshank Redemption? One of my favorites.

This shit pisses me off...Pretty soon they will be putting X-mas stuff up after labor day. Blatant commercialism is ruining this special day. I fight back with rude comments everytime I walk into Walgreens. They also can take their Happy Holiday slogans and shove it up their ass! WTF is a Festivity tree? PC bullshit?

Christmas blows.

does anyone in the hospitality industry really like christmas. The one month that I worked at Two Elk almost ruined Christmas as I know it for me. If I heard "Little Drummer Boy" one more time I was going to kill the next tourist that complained of their pizza being too hot(no fucking shit? you just dumped a half container of crushed red pepper on it).

Being a godless heathen and unapologetic capitalist I embrace the commercialism that is Christmas.

All the shit is up in the mall already, and they had Felix Navidad playing today. I think burning it down is in order.

I definately hear what you are saying LB, thanks man.

[lemon boy]

no problem, it took me a good while to come to a solid holiday understanding that would relieve me of some awkwardness w/respect to the religious beliefs of those around me w/o rancor

[warthog]

That dude don't know any tunes.

Woodsy is a communist.... Other things Woods dis-likes: apple pie, baseball and clowns.

I don`t like clowns either.Something about having to hide under a disguise is creepy.

I sense a little hostility here.Glad I don`t work at your Walgreens.

[Woodsy]

there are lies, damn lies, and Knockneed man the clown puncher.
I love apple pie, w/ sharp cheddar or ice cream

and LAN, even if my honey wasnt all the way across the country I wouldn't have the time to spend with her that week.
my last relationship actually ended 12/27.

I am an old school X-mas type. popcorn and cranberry decorations, bows of holly
"God Bless ye Merry Gentlemen" and "Angels you have heard on high"
my family is here and we will do a few things, there is love and cheer at Woodsmas, just a high stress time of year and the commercialism nauseates me.

still cant believe your lady dresses up like that for you.

hehe... the things she does for love. Actually I stayed home on Halloween and wore this... Stayed in the bathroom all night on two hits of acid just break dancing in front of the mirror. Good times....

hell, hell I say

The advertising worked so well for me this year that I also forgot Thanksgiving - I was scheduling a doctor's appointment, and meant to try to schedule it for the day before Thanksgiving, but instead scheduled it for the day before Christmas. Suddenly realized halfway through that the next holiday was NOT Christmas, that I needed an appointment sooner than that, and had to sort it all out. Oops.

Edit: Have also had a few negative holidays, so not usually a big fan of them. Snowboarded alone two Christmases ago, though that's not so bad, . Finally decided last year to decorate, actually enjoyed the holiday. Having a SO helps too....hopefully will enjoy this Christmas. No decorating until December though!

[grrrr]

I am fortunate in that I will either be a) out of the country, b) up at the mountain, or c) in the close vicinity of no shopping centers, malls, banks or christmas parties more or less from now until christmas.

No tree, no music (except maybe one playing of Handel or Saint Saens), much less christmas shopping. I may actually not hate christmas this year.

I am with Woodsy on this one. The other night I was making dinner for the fam and my little sis turns on the radio. THEY ARE ALREADY PLAYING FUCKING X-MAZ CAROLS ON THE 10TH OF NOVEMBER!!!! I nearly had a coronary. I don't mind x-mas songs but, just like everything else that can make you fat, give you cancer, or just generally annoy the shit out of you given time, I like them in moderation. And I don't wanna hear em till AFTER FUCKING THANKSGIVING! There are still Halloween decorations on sale at half price at Longs Drug for christsakes!

Someone mentioned holiday disdain and the service industry relation. l will totally vouche for that. My mom works at a restaurant and a few years back to avoid the scheduling nightmare that is being open on major holidays they implemented this stupid rule that everyone has to work on every holiday. So now, not only are you pissed off because you have to work on X-mas and be spending the day with your douchebag co-workers instead of your family, you are also going to make NO money because you are only in for a 4 hour shift. My mom hasn't had a thanksgiving in 5 years...we just wait till Friday night and every Christmas after we open presents she changes into her work clothes and cries every time that she leaves for work. Such shit...

[Pol Pot]

Who wants some misfit toys for Christmas? Maybe a Charly in the Box? Kiddies, don`t forget that BUMBLES BOUNCE!

[Woodsy]

ok christmas season starts today naccording to the mobs and masses at the malls.
and I realized what part of my miffedness was.
Like it or not Christmas is a christian Holiday, in the church the season of Advent ( or preparedness) precedes Christmas.
I realized while at Church last week in Manhattan,
Advent doesn't start till this SUnday.

so all you retailers starting X-mas season in Oct and vendors selling roastd chesnuts can get bent

[altagirl]

I put up the Christmas tree yesterday. Because Thanksgiving weekend is when my family always put up the tree ever since I can remember... So sue me. I like chilling in the living room with christmas tree lights on, hoping for snow.

And I was single for plenty of holidays - invite other single people or those stuck away from their families over for dinner. I rarely see my actual family on holidays, but spending it skiing and hanging out with friends is fun too.
