I would sit there with a ":0"-face watching this. It was one of the finishing details, that there would be no christmas without!
I'm not inclined to like xmas anymore, but I try to :D People quarrel a lot, and there's a lot of "slander-campaigns", who invented xmas, how christian is it really, is it saturnalia or winter solistice.
Who cares.
It's about gifts, food and family - and in cold northern places - it's about huddling together safe from the freezing winter, to gorge on fatty foods!
 
I also hate this time of year, I don't even attend my family's Christmas lunch, come to think about it I can't even remember the last time I gave a Christmas present to someone. :roll:
 
The only thing I am looking forward onto christmas each year is the gathering of all friends, ex schoolmates etc. in our old town, to get shitface drunk. It's glorious each year. All the rest of this retarded hoilday can go fuck itself, or atleast leave me alone with this. ;)
 
I'd say I hate all of the time leading UP to Christmas, and the time immediately after it. It's just all the hype and illogical nonsense from people in general bothers me. For example, I'm growing more and more incensed every time I hear or see "Happy Holidays" in place of "Merry Christmas". Being politically correct in celebration of not being divisive and religious during a SPECIFIC, religious holiday? Come the fuck on! That's worse than any Freedom Fries or Freedom Toast...

But the holiday itself, I love. Funnily enough, I celebrate 2 separate Christmases, since half of my family goes by the Western calendar version of it, and the other half follows the old calendar version. But contrary to what my childhood friends seemed to believe, I didn't have twice the gifts, and I wouldn't get a day off from school if January 7th happened to be on a week day; we'd just split the gifts in half, and we'd open half on the 25th, and the other half on the 7th.

No matter the state of the economy, things work out on Christmas (cause we need to buy gifts, so that gets a lot of money in circulation, and a lot more jobs on the market). People just act cheerier, some out of genuine love for the holiday, some just because they don't wanna stick out; but either way, it's a little less asshole-ish around Christmas. Shit, there was even that full day of ceasefire during WWI in celebration of Christmas!

Any way you look at it, no matter its true origins, what it has become and has remained over the past century is quite magical.
 
Christmas the past few years has royally sucked. I see people going around having a good time, spending a shit load of money on presents, and it just annoys the hell out me. I think I'm jealous basically. I feel like Scrooge. No plans for Christmas yet again. I need someone to buy me some gifts. It won't happen. My wife and I will sulk at home while all the other families open presents and eat turkey dinner. Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays! BAH HUMBUG!

 
I've been "bah, humbug!"-ing a bit this year, and it is the first year when no ends met in time, and I have no gifts for anybody. No biggie, they aren't expecting much, but... it sucks... :D

Hit it right on the nail there. When we finally get to sit the hell down around the table, then it is one of my favorite times of year. Then there is a little bit more of the stress-aftermath the next few days, before normalcy returns :D
 
You guys just need a little christmas spirit!

Well, My parents do tell lies, but they don't have sex on account of being divorced for like 15 years already.

Well I am an Atheist in a catholic family coming to visit in vacations, I came here for the food.
 
I love New Year. Christmas I celebrate on the 7th, and being from a non-religious family it's more of a tradition than a holiday, really...

But this year someone decided it would be fun to have no snow here in Prague. The grass is still green. It's terrible! And it's pretty damn boring. +3 degrees Celsius my ass...

Can you go ask Bohemia Interactive how ArmA 3's development is going? They've been having some huge dramas what with their imprisoned team members and changing director and shit. It's already been delayed, and no more early beta for us.

Anyway for me it's just going to be the same as last year...me going and visiting the rest of the family at me mom's place.

Comrade you are missing the point. Do you really need materialistic gifts in order to become fulfilled.

Try focusing on the person that is closest to you (wife?) and find a way to express your gratitude and your love to her.

It doesn't have to be expensive nor shiny as long as it comes with good intentions.
 
The Grinch has no dick. You would be damn pissed every Xmas then too. And then all those people singing "jingle bells". Well there is no Bell that jingles his one.
 
Yay, an uncle of mine threw in two cans of xmas-beer as a present. Back home, with a slight headacke I plan to strangle with some beer and a splif.
Merry christmas folks :]
 
My sister cooked a hellofa christmas dinner. For her first time ever doing it (or being in a kitchen for that matter) she really knocked it out of the park.
