Christmas is mainly for KIDS. When you become an ADULT the
magic is gone.....sadly :(

I'm giving everyone copies of my album for christmas! That's
what I always do...they prefer it, coz they get to see what
I'm up to and it's more personal.

I'd be as happy if I said "no, wait - don't buy something
for me, get something for yourself!" instead - in fact, I'd
be more happy, because they'd not be disappointed, and I
wouldn't have to go Christmas shoppping at the busiest time
of year.

well the tip is to do shopping all during the year when
things go on sale or clearances
i start shopping right after xmass is over, everything goes
down to 75% off
warping paper is almost free
boxes you get with purchaced items

only one person gets something i buy that i pay full price
and sometimes its one or two items

I got my mom a couple of tickets to see a Joan Baez concert.
No idea what to get the girlfriend, nobody else is getting
anything.

Her likely response to a Prada bag would be:

'Err, okaaaaay, thanks'.

If it wasn't for christmas I would have killed myself at age
7.

this christmas..."

yes, maybe it it pointless to moan about people complaining
about Christmas, but personally I can't see how anyone can
be TOTALLY against Christmas... if nothing else you get at
least one day off from work or something... usually, maybe
unless you're a doctor, or Ophecks!! :)

A friend of my sisters, well his father died on Christmas
day... so I can understand that... but even that doesn't
have anything to do with the normal Christmas traditions...
I don't know though... of course it's not as fun as when you
were younger, but it can still be great...

personally anyways, I love Christmas... my family is
religious, but I'm not that much nowadays... but if one
doesn't like the religious aspect of it, just ignore that...
mostly that is left out of stuff like tv shows and shit
nowadays... also, if you're against the commercial aspect,
just don't give gifts... for me, the basic thing about
Christmas is that it makes me happy... I know exactly about
what Zeus said about winter being depressing, as I myself
have gone through seasonal depression... but no matter,
Christmas still makes me happy... just find something that
makes you happy, and do it on Christmas... shrug!

Xmas is shite. It has its origins in religion - bad. And it
has grown into a capitalist meltdown - also bad. People
struggle to afford it and spending countless hours trying to
find the 'right' presents for people. And for what?

You say being anti-Xmas is contrived, then what is Xmas if
not contrived?

and adverts that stretch back to august....but now its
december its ok to see them around, embrce it!

For who? The shareholders of the companies who make a
killing out of the "season of goodwill"? Yeah, they rub
their hands with glee as people run up massive debts to buy
their products.

doesn't get in debt, we can enjoy Christmas without it. it's
not all about tons of gifts forr everryone it's also about

Why do you only get together at Xmas? Why do you need Xmas
as an excuse? That's bullshit.

for me it's the combination of everything... the getting
together, the turkey dinner, the decorations, the snow, the
Christmas tv shows, the movies, and yes the gifts... I like
getting stuff as much as the next guy...

About santa climbing down the chimney....if you cover the
bottom of the fireplace with glue, you get *all the
presents*....if you light a fire in the fireplace you get
*no* presents

People basically like Christmas because they are programmed
to like it as children - school's out, the lights and
decorations and snow are pretty, the relatives come over and
give them presents, there's holiday cartoons and specials on
television and good food - so when they grow up anything
"christmasy" is like ringing a bell and making a dog
salivate.

THE RETAIL SECTOR WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO
THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONDITIONED RESPONSE MERRY CHRI$TMA$ AND
A HAPPY NEW YEAR HO HO HO

if you leave santa some milk and cookies, you will get
*more* presents next year. if you leave a carrot and a note
that says 'no cookies for you, fatso' you will get *less*
presents next year.
