Christmas

[JaiDee]

Puttin' on the grump hat for this one chums, and starting off with option 4.

   Christmas........and the long lead-up to it, all for one day of superficial family visits and dropping tons of cash, travelling, etc........ in my mind would be best just taken off the calender altogether!    

[whore]

The commercial build up to christmas can be abit annoying, but the day itself I quite enjoy. Last christmas was probably the best to date with the a lb gf staying over in the parents house and meeting all the kids and family.

I voted no1.. Absolutely love it

Finished my Xmas shopping ages ago..can't wait to put the tree up

Sadly though, my family thinking i'd well be back in Thailand by now are all flying
off to the sun for Xmas,so i'll prolly be on my own if i don't get back or to Frankfurt

 oh no ....one of THEM!!!  

      Damn it, every year it starts to get earlier, I swear ..... around late october now it starts with the ''Patsy Cline does Rudolph''  or "Elvis at radio City'' albums on sale on the cheesy cable stations, "joy to the world'' walking in and out of the mall starting the first week of November, spending massive amounts of cash, mum planning the big party for all 30 or 40 people to attend...ugggghhhh....I swear, for Nov and Dec from now on I would just like to dissapear to some tropical island far off in a buddhist country which doesn't even know what the word "Christmas" even means!

hey, waiddaminute......that could be an   !!!

i loved it when i was married and happy at the time when the children were young and excited, and been woken up really early seeing the excitment on thier faces.

now i much prefer to be in los to get away the shite tv and the bull shit, sadley this year i have to put it with that.

It coincides with the best part of the NFL season so I love it!

It's also a good time to spend your hard earned cash on someone you love, so there's nothing to dislike about Christmas.

The best part is watching the rag heads complain about it.

[strocube]

I fucking hate it!
I voted option 4 as well.
In my mind it's just a bunch of totally unnecessary hype to get people to buy more shit they don't need. Then there's all the family DRAMA--fucking horrible.
The only good thing about this time of year is ski season.

[Foggy]

I voted No 2, but have never been a fan of this time of year..... On the up side people do seem a little more friendly and happy so thats a good thing.... I guess....


Having said that I will be in Thailand, so miss all the hype and bullshit....

You could always turn to the muslim faith if Xmas is offputting

[laputanegra]

My favorite things about Christmas will always be looking at Christmas Trees,spending time with my (annoying) family and friends and exchanging gifts. It's a very special time of the year for me. so weird not to like it.


then new year in los

[tomscam]

Voted No 4.

I'd rather be in LOS screwing LB's than being with distant relatives whom I only see once a year and couldn't really give a shit about. It can get painful and life's too short for that.

[allstar88]

i love it
i get to play with someones nuts and pull a cracker or two

[katoeylover]

Whats Christmas?

The busiest time of year... so love it and loathe it at the same time

[f0xxee]

I think it's brilliant that the western Christian world stops for 4 days to celebrate the birth of a myth, the birth of another 2000 year old reason for hatred and idealogical zealots to have a reason to bomb and shoot the shit out of each other. Sensational.
Melbourne Cup day or Anzac Day make more sense to me...
