I prefer getting money rather than presents, because things are cheaper afterwards anyway

christmas is a corporate holiday. it's meant to make some cash to the companies. it's capitalism. it's materialism. it's consummerism at it's worst.
now let's all shut up and dive into the rushes in the shopping malls....

*throws a pie at CORTEX*
yummy capitalist pie with your name on it!
8^)
Christmas in the beggining was never about being greedy or material things, it was a time to share with friends and family and reflect on the joy of giving.... and if your a religeous person, its jesus's birthday.
I love the going to my grandma's and playing in the snow and skiing!
I dont like how people expliot christmas and how little kids now boast about how many gifts they got..... and whine about the ones they didnt get... when they dont even understand that there other kids that dont get shit for christmas, and spend it on the streets
But christmas is my second favorite holidy, first place is a tie with new years and the fourth of july

it SHOULD be about family reunion though.
personally, i dont mind the gifts as long as they're not exagerated. i hate how my friends all spend 300$ for the gifts they give to their gf. a little 30$ gift is enough, the prices doesnt show how much you care. show her you love her all year long instead!
thanks for the tasty pie btw ;)

yeah buying massive gifts for everyone over 100 is kinda messed up
I am happy with a few cd's from friends, and maybe a new coffee cup
People should be happy with just getting a gift from a loved one. But people take it to the extreme.

what's the ritual? instead of giving gifts, do you steal them from one another?

Christmas is only good if you have people to be around. People you belong with. If you're generally lonely (like me) or a lonely soul (like me) it's a bag of shit.

Appreciate that. I can't believe it's a joke to people when I tell people I'm going to kill myself. I hope when/if I finally do they make take things a little more serious.

i was on another board some months ago, and when someone was telling (s)he was going to commit suicide, only a few of them believed him/her... people joking about it, encouraging him/her and all that...
it's a tough situation, people don't realize (and can't realize) if the person is really suicidal or not, what's really going on.
i think on this board people are more mature, but still, i don't know...

most people in real life already have a tendency to avoid the depressed and suicidal (afraid of them, afraid of getting 'contaminated', or just pissed?)
and this tendency is even stronger on the internet where we don't actually see the persons...

maybe your life should only belong to yourself, and no one else... i don't know... i can't help thinking how my parents would be sad if i did it -_-
but anyway it's hard to get the courage to commit suicide for real
do you know other people who tried commiting/commited suicide?
