    Unfortunately, that's not really true. There are a lot of great people who have left for one reason or another. :(

    We have ten inches of snow here, and I am greatly enjoying a white Christmas! I didn't have that since I was a child.

    Frohes Fest und Guten Rutsch!
    i.e.
    Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

    I've found a set of christmas cards on reddit that I'm going to send out next year. They all have Samuel Jacksons head in the middle and a jolly christmas message around it.

    Here's two for DotW: "Jolly ************, do you speak it?" and "I dare you, I double dare you ************, say HUMBUG one more goddamn time!"

    This one's for DotW. The rest of you don't watch, it might traumatize you.

    Yeah, and that's F'N bulls---! Enough of this glutton of a Holiday that begins when it wants and end when it wants. I've seen Xmas stuff in stores as early as OCTOBER. [Expletive], at LEAST wait until after Halloween, that's GARBAGE! The Xmas carols are about to make me go postal, and I've never been gladder to have access to the office at work when I can lower the volume of the "radio" to freaking zero. Hearing those carols repeatedly during a shift is enough to drive one flywheel-loose crazy, and I admit, I can't wait to tear down the F'N ugly decorations at work, and throw them in the trash, because it reflects what I think of this holiday. Commercialized bull----, that's what it is.

    That's part of what it is, sure. On the other hand, I just had one of the most memorable and enjoyable weekends with my family that I can remember. It wasn't because of what we got for Christmas, or what we have. It was because we were together, and we appreciated what that meant. This holiday also has strong religious signficance for me.

    I guess my point is that you can sort of find in Christmas what you want to. Look for something ugly, and you'll find it. Look for something wonderful, and that's there to find also. :)

    Wow, Silv, if my simple post makes you want to puke, there might be something going on with you physically. Are you sure you're not pregnant, or something??

    Yeah, anything is pretty much what you are willing to make of it.

    But Christimas is also a great Pagan holiday and feast. When else can I chop down a tree, but it in my living room, get to drink lots of rum (well, I CAN do that anytime, I guess, but on Chirstmas kind people actually BRING me rum), and all just because the days are getting longer? :grin:

    Well, in that case, instead of my usual "sorry about the flu hun; hope you feel better soon (bordering on sickly sweet), I'll give you a "sorry about the flu... guess you'll just have to keep your chin up and get through it like a man."

    No... that doesn't work for me. What can I say, I'm sickly sweet, especially around the holidays. Hey, I came from a broken home, had more "step parents" than I care to recall growing up... the fact that I'm still happily married after more than 9 years and my boys still get to wake up and see both mom and dad together, well, it makes me a bit sappy. I won't apologize for this, so sue me!! :p

    Exactly my point! Don't like the commercialism? Avoid the stores like I did. Find something to like, and do that instead. Just sayin'....
