These things. I remember my baby sisters first christmas. She didn't really get it, but she enjoyed the things she recieved. Getting a real tree is great too. The maintenance is worth the atmosphere.


Also decorating the tree is great too, we make a family affair out of it. We've been decorating the tree with one set of ornaments for 50-60 years. :D
 
I hate the Christmas season. The songs, the ads (because I don't know that every single store has some sort of sale), the decorations that go up as early as October when no one cares but most importantly, the god damn mass of ignorant people. The worst part is I work in retail, so I get all of it... every day... for the whole damn season.

Christmas itself isn't that bad though. No work and excuse to lounge around and relax... 👍

It's taken you 50-60 years to decorate a tree?

....;)

You wouldn't believe my neighbor. This is south-western Ohio, right? We might get two 4-inch snows a year, maybe a bit more. So he decided to go buy himself an absolutely gargantuan 4-wheel drive, V-twin engined, as-wide-as-the-whole-sidewalk monstrosity. The thing shoots snow clear across the street from his sidewalk, and he finishes his two car driveway (mind you, he lives alone) in, like, 6 passes. And on top of that he starts it up a few times during the summer to make sure it's running right.

And yet he mows with only a push mower. He needs to get with the game...:lol:

That might explain it ;). I never had to work retail (thankfully), but my sister has some good stories about idiots at Christmastime.

Choosing a sequoia for the family tree is not the best of ideas, but kudos to them for sticking to their guns :D.
 
I get to work 8-5 Christmas day.



...which makes my Christmas good. 👍
 
I know! I know!
Move to Puerto Rico!
Christmas is so awesome there.
I don't really like the way Americans celebrate Christmas. It's kind of boring.. IMO.
 
You'd think it was good but when everyone goes back and you have like 3 weeks to go it get's old FAST.

Good freakin' call. We have the whole month off (my college has a winter semester) and we're the only ones home come mid-January. Hopefully it snows a lot this time around.
 
A month?

Got 2 weeks, maybe 3.

Exactly: the 14th to the 14th.

I'm going to be busy during the break, so it's all good. I'm kicking it off with a trip with my off-roading club to Clayton, Oklahoma ("an experience unlike any other", I've been told), and will be doing something or another for the rest of the time. I won't miss the New Year's parties, though :trouble:

I really wish schools would take one week from Christmas break and move it to spring break, so that we would have two 2-week breaks for the year.
 
I think just because of our break being so long that our spring break is AFTER everyone else's too. It's all fed up, and I remember it being no fun because my friends going to other school would all meet up but I couldn't til later and then they were back in school. :rolleyes:

Damn straight.

Oh come on what is your best price its christmas, on a sale price mind you... Oh really fool? god damn i didnt notice...

I hate everyone trying to buy everything for nothing. now i dont want to rip people off nor do i mark stuff up. I have no problems giving some discounts but damn, half the people want the stuff for cost or under.... or else they will go to the cheap/crap stores and get it. So we have no choice but to match it.

So if the salesman is on commission spare a thought for the poor chap haha, Get a good deal but dont take his shirt and pants and leave him stripped.
 
I also dont care much for christmas or any holiday for the same reasons you listed in the first post. I dont even care for birthdays.
