Re: Christmas Rant

Is Christmas still a holiday? Am I even allowed to put a tree without offending anyone?.... How I yearn for a Calvin and Hobbes Christmas....

Re: Christmas Rant

I'm not going to let any ornaments, rants, wishes or idiots ruin my idea and liking of Christmas.

Christmas is a religious holiday even though everyone has covered that up with commercialism.

Christmas is a great time of year.

Re: Christmas Rant

Hell, we've already got a Xmas tree up in our house -- it's not that we're all that much into the Xmas spirit, we were just cleaning the basement, came upon the tree, and it was just as easy to go ahead and put the thing up than it was to find a spot for it. It hasn't been decorated and it's only half-lit, but it is set up.

OK, update. Keep in mind that as I write this, it is November 9th. Nevertheless, it would appear that putting up that one tree has opened up a huge can of holiday spirit, because it now looks like Christmas landed on our damn house. Trees, lights, garlands, snow globes -- every time I walk through the door, there's something new going on decor-wise. I need to give the folks at Garden Ridge pictures of my wife with "DO NOT SELL CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS TO THIS WOMAN" instructions.

Wives tend to do things like that when given the opportunity.

Re: Christmas Rant

Well my mum is going away to canada for xmas for 4 weeks, so i'll be on my own in the house and I don't plan tp put up any decorations or any other such nonsense. I plan to have egg and chips for dinner on the 25th dec in protest at the over-commercialisation of it all.

My major gripe is with the food shoppers in the supermarket. Panic buying every fucking thing like it's the end of the world - THE SHOPS ARE CLOSED FOR 1 DAY ONLY YOU GOONS! Pisses me right off to have to queue for ages just to get milk or bread!

As you can see, I am not a fan of Xmas

Re: Christmas Rant

I really don't understand this "Christmas is offending" thingie in the US.

But I agree, it's a shame that it has become more of a Santa day than the day Jesus was born. Anyway, for me it's a day to spend with family.
