holiday hate thread

[avi]

since everyone seems so ready to kickstart the holiday season early, I'm gonna kickstart the hate.

fuck the holidays. fuck it all. I am scrooge.

 

[lizard]

I dread this time of year, the crowds, the shrieking brats, aaaaargh.

 

[FrostGiant]

I'm a pretty big fan of Thanksgiving simply because it's a 4 day weekend and all I have to do is eat, drink and watch football.

 

[xfer]

every year avi tries his best to ruin everyone else's holiday fun.

 

[lizard]

in this case he's spot on.

 

[avi]

I wouldn't mind thanksgiving so much if I wasn't spending it with my in-laws who refuse to understand what us "crazy vegetarians" eat. that means that we essentially have to bring our entire meal ourselves, aside from our dish to share. so stupid. they aren't bad people or anything, but they refuse to make any sort of concessions, like even cooking an extra portion of stuffing without turkey juice or whatever.

 

[lizard]

sure alex you can sit on your lofty perch and sing your holiday carols but let me tell you, if you had to go out in public and face the hordes of Deliverance cast extras out here, believe it you'd be singing a different tune, mister.

 

[xfer]

look you don't have to push your values on other people, you know. just eat around the turkey juice.

between this stuff and the ollie stone thread, alex is getting coal this year.

as for me, I'll be hiding in my bunker until after new years.

 

[xfer]

coal! i hope you have enough left for thanksgiving dinner, veg boy!!

 

[minxnim]

i totally cook the entire thanksgiving DINNER and i dont even eat it. b/c it's my mom's birthday that week ... so i try to be nice. i just bring my own food. (usually chinese take out). i LOVE LOVE LOVE christmas. even though it's spent in gummo-ville and everything, i like giving people presents so much it doesn't matter. it just rules.

 

[xfer]

err is coal veg*n? isn't it made from dinosaur bones?

 

[avi]

I like spending time with my family and sharing meals and all that, but the presents thing is always way more trouble than it's worth. I'd rather not get anything than a bunch of garbage I'm just gonna throw away.

alex probably wears christmas sweaters. with bells and reindeer on them.

 

[xfer]

i asked the other board. avi, your dinner depends on their answers.

 

[minxnim]

i love giving people presents. my sister always gets me something nice and it's really thoughtful that people get us shit at all since we're such jerks! seriously! we should be glad we don't get thrown out on our ear on christmas for being so bad.

 

[Demonspell]

holiday commercialism, especially of the premature kind, is the most annoying thing ever...

 

[xfer]

ummm demonspell are you making fun of me for having already worn my appliqued sweater around?

 

[azal]

Alex is totally gonna be the whack teacher that wears the snowman ties and santa hats.

 

[minxnim]

i am picturing alex wearing this sweatshirt my great aunt has that has bears wrapping presents on it, and the ribbons in the picture are ACTUAL ribbons stitched into the sweatshirt, and above it it says "IT'S A WRAP!"

how endearing!

 

[avi]

I think it's unBEARable!
