holiday hate thread

and to think: this is the kind of stuff that archaeologists in the year 3500 will be putting in museums and calling "20th-century American folk art"

i'm boycotting this thread in appreciation of the holiday spirit.

the commercialism, yes, i can do without. but i can turn off the tv and enjoy quiet music, smells of cloves and pine, and people i like.

i think i need a bigger gut and less hair on top to really rock that.

and i've been looking for a really annoying snowflake sweater.

from the kayo pics, I've noticed that Forbes has a stellar collection of festive sweaters.

he's fulfilling the Cosby role in the band.

BAH HUMBUG!

it would be okay if everyone's merry festivities didn't intrude on me and mine, but it does in the most egregious fashion, and all I want to do is go out and buy a freaking book or CD and I'm beset by Santas and elf mimes, long lines, pushing, shoving, selfishness, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

on the plus side I like the idea of people getting together with their loved ones and if so inclined meditating on spiritual things, but it's all been hijacked by the most low brow crassness.

I love the holidays because of the cold weather. I HATE HATE HATE the stupid hot texas weather. When it gets cold I can wear a scarf, gloves, and EARMUFFS(!) when it's cold.

The holidays are alright. Though it's a pain in the ass traveling and whatnot. Especially when one does it standby and risks missing flights and spending many an hour in the airport.

Also I don't like recieving presents or giving them. To much anxiety and nerves over what to get and upon recieving making it known that I really appreciate the gift.

Though I could use a new jambox for Christmas.

Being a Serb in America is cool because you celebrate Christmas on January 7, so the only crowds you deal with are the Jews who are buying everything after the holiday season at clearance prices.

 

[xfer]

was Serbian Jesus born a little later than his less-murderous version?

 

[avi]

where's the goat when you need him?

 

[azal]

it has to do with the difference between the orthodox calendar and the regular christians' calendar, which was designed by Julius Ceasar.

 

[FrostGiant]

I love Orange Juliuses.

 

[minxnim]

yikes i hope your dad is okay.

i can NOT wait to give my presents to my niece! jake will attest, toddlers + presents = BIG FUN. i got her soooo many awesome things. one is a giant box of costume jewelry i've managed to get together over a 6 month period. another is one of those trendy poncho sweaters but it's hot pink w/sparkles and made by J. LO herself!
