And, gee whizz, I've barely seen a smile all month! In the street, there are endless processions of dour faces, their gracelessness on exhibition as they glare impatiently from out their darkened eyes!
This year has really topped all others for having absolutely zero Christmas cheer. I, however, have a lovely 6½ foot tree festooned with lights, tinsels, and baubles (the last of which my daughter enjoys taking off the tree and throwing), and have already watched the obligatory Flintsones Christmas episode and A Charlie Brown Christmas. Roll on December 25th.

Did you know that The Flintstones (that you moronically misspelled) was a modern family living in the stone age and that The Jetsons was a modern family living in the future? They just rehashed the concept and called it day.
I don't like Coca-Cola so I don't celebrate Christmas.

Yes, it was quite moronic to accidentally miss out the second 't', thanks for the gracious call-out. (psst, it's which you not that you, from that which--You can omit the that because it's already been stated. I wouldn't bring it up, but your post suggests a disagreeable nature, and I would not want you to seem ignorant of the laws of English grammar.)
Thanks for enlightening me RE: Coca-Cola inventing Christmas.
Feel free to remove the humbug from your gob and crack a smile.

It was intentional, I didn't want you to look ridiculous in front of the whole xltronic community. How you say, throw a bone?
Don't forget to drink Coca-Cola on your Christmas Eve or Santa will not be cheery!
Oh and you're wasting precious natural resources by having a tree with ridiculous lights and other "seasonal decorations" ON 24/7, you're doing more bad than good! You're destroying the planet with your festivities.

I'll admit I haven't had very much holiday cheer this year, either. Once the Christmas parties start rolling around, I'll force myself to have a good time, at least when people are watching, that is. Christmas just doesn't really hold much magic for me, anymore. With each passing year, I yearn more and more to be young and carefree again. I miss the days when Christmas meant more than just trees, lights and gifts. There was something wonderous and exciting to it that has gone away. Perhaps, when I have kids of my own, some of that magic will return.
At any rate, Happy Holidays everybody.

I've noticed a lot more shootings reported from USA. Is it the holiday spirit?
I'm going to be working the 22, 23, 25 and 26th. BOO!!!
But I'm in good spirit; pinnekjøtt abounds! So does alcohol!
PS: Christmas is the 24th, not the 25th you stupid gay Anglo-Saxon Englishmen!

Christmas, for me, has always been about the family coming together once a year--the children running about crazy with their new toys, the adults stuffing their faces and getting drunk, then playing newly-opened board games of an evening while some Christmas CD is playing, or the Christmas film is on the television. And, the Christmas Tree too, with its magical lights .
The depressing thing this year is that the façade seems to have crumbled now--the corporations aren't even pretending they want anything but the consumers' money, and the consumers are trotting around shops looking mean, not even miserable, just mean.
Still--I love Christmas and the Christmas spirit, and I have my little daughter who loves looking at Christmas trees when she passes them, and who'll be excited on the 25th when she has some presents to unwrap, which I won't have spent a fortune on, but which she'll have fun with.

I haven't felt festive since I was about 14 to be perfectly honest. It is nice not to have to work however, and it's always a treat to have endless supplies of food and alcohol. I also tend to buy myself something big as a seasonal treat (like a new computer something), but I have everything I need already this christmas.

grinch. Also, what do you mean it's nice not to work? You never work. ALSO you most certainly don't have all you need this Christmas. There's one thing you need that begins with "Ph" and ends with "one"

but my christmas 'spirit' is totally gone, it's never been as bad as this year! i'm having a good time though, so i guess that's all that matters? i remember the MAGIC of christmas though, it's sort of gone or at least hasn't arrived yet. maybe it's because there's no snow anymore!

I've got a large obnoxious family and we all converge so it's hard not to notice, and often suffocating. And even while trying to brood and avoid them, it's undeniably fun at times. Christmas is all about the food, the drunken conversations, creating elaborate Lego works, and playing multi-player videogames, the commercialism pretty much gets left behind more this time of year than any other, actually.
Still glad when everybody leaves and I can jerk off in peace.

I agree. There's something different this year. People are behaving in the least Christmassy way I've ever seen them behave at any Christmas.
My Christmas will be smothered with writing and reading essays, of course. I should have dropped out of this course a year ago.

I'm gonna get you all an awesome present, but I won't tell you what it is! You have to wait until christmas!! ... ... ... *tick, tock, tick, tock*, ... ... Oh, I can't stand it any longer! Its ARMAGEDDON! :D !!! But you still have to wait until christmas to receive it, because that was the date of birth or death or first time getting laid or some such event of some imaginary character I forget the name of- let's just call him Hank. I BELIEVE IN HANK THE MOST!
May Hank bless you all with a white christmas (snow pun intended but I meant that as racist).
