What's in your stocking- or so you hope?

"All i want for christmas is an M-16.. An M-16.. an M-16. All i want for christmas is an M-16, So i can kill me lots of commies!"

(actually sang that as we martched to school in AIT last year)

I'm getting what I want... Time at home with my family.
 
Hmm....you know, when I think of it, I can't really say what I want for sure. I suppose it's the same thing as Elissar except take out commies, insert terrorists.
 
I don't celebrate Christmas with presents. Never have. We Dutch celebrate Sinterklaas with present, traditionally, and not Christmas. But I don't celebrate Sinterklaas with presents anymore either.

So, basically, no presents. Ever. Bwahahaha.
 
*sigh*


Fallout 3.

A good, sturdy, AK 47, to hijack a couple of planes... A chemical warhead... some US engineered uber ebola virus... hmmm... a soviet era SS-22...

Or a Pancor Jackhammer to shoot my neighbour's dog. I once had a dream like that.

Seriously, I dunno. I like the "surprise" element in christmas presents.
 
Well I already had my xmas pressie, £20 from my Father.

Cash is not going to do me much good on xmas day, with the shops shut, so I bought the T3 DVD with it today but I won't watch it until Thursday.

Yes, a Dutch bastardized version of "Sint Nikolaas", known in English as "Saint Nicholaus", known in American as "Saint Nick'. He's an old Spanish Saint, who's been celebrated as a national holiday in the Netherlands for ages. Americans/English ripped him for Christmas for some reason.

So we Dutch celebrate two holidays centered around the same saint. Though in a way Christmas is still centered around Jesus and Mary here.
 
Saint Nick (Svatý Mikuláš) also comes around here, on Dec 5 (or 6 mabye?), accompanied by an angel and a devil. The angel just stands back and looks purdy, while the devil molests kids and pawns TV sets or something equally scary and despicable? Mikuláš gives candy, oranges and socks to good kids and carrots and coal to bad ones. And we still get presents on Christmas so every1 bend over plz. 8)
 
Nope a real live normal dancing monkey.

Why does everyone think that's weird?
