Everything I do around this time for others (and most of the year as well) are guided by love and compassion. That has nothing to do with Jesus as people who don't believe do the same. This holiday has nothing to do with Jesus aside from being named for him.

Aside from KimRachell, I don't even think I've heard most of my org friends even mention him.

^ It's CHRIST MASS......so it has EVERYTHING to do with Jesus....

But it's up to us to remind the world of that fact and to live by example.....

(lurks in GD...)

Not in the spirit either.. Haven't been celebrating Xmas for decades, I don't buy gifts, nor offer cards, for me now it's just an ordinary day, that I don't work and no I'm not in a sect!

The only thing that I love about Xmas is.. well in fact there are 2...

- Xmas lights.. I just can't help but feel like a kid looking at the lights outside, I love it.

- Xmas specials on TV, they shows all the Tintin, Asterix and stuff... I LOVE that!

Here are some holiday songs for you Scrooges:

The Long Blondes - Christmas is Cancelled

Fear - Fuck Christmas

The Joy Formidable - My Beerdrunk Soul is Sadder Than a Hundred Dead Christmas Trees

^ There you go...there you go....

And to all the people in this thread, watch A Christmas Carol....that's a heartwarming story relevant to today as it ever was...

Love the shirt. I'd wear it holiday shopping. This time of year has just become a habit.

For all you who lost family, including myself...

Now... Nursing homes are FULL of sad lonely people who would give ANYTHING for someone to drop by and bring them a cookie, or a small gift, or just sit and listen to them tell stories.. Adopt a grandparent! Yes, its not really quite the same, but seeing their faces and the feeling of getting their hugs is TREMENDOUS!

Christmas seriously is no fun for me at all anymore.

I pretty much go through the motions, but even that is difficult this year.

I wish I felt differently. My daughters deserve better.

I'm actually really feelin' the spirit this year. Kind of disappointed that I can't properly contribute to this thread. But, ya know, fa la la la la...

My church is having a Christmas Concert on the 16th.

The lead organist had invited me to something else before Thanksgiving, but it was when my Granny was really sick, so I told him that my family was not willing to commit at that time.

He came up to me Sunday, making small talk about this program. That ass said, "My condolences. Now I guess you guys have no excuse for this program."

I think I'm taking my cat when we visit my Grandmother this Christmas (let me be clear that she gets multiple visits from family members on a weekly basis - this is just something special for Christmas). She used to love cats and when my cat is in his carrier he just sits there when the door is open (could be because he's fat and lazy ).

That's why I'm putting up a damned tree this weekend.

Then make sure you shove that mistletoe where the good Lord won't see it.

I put my tree up the night before Thanksgiving - also put the lights out front and in the side windows. That way everything felt all festive when people came over for Football and food.

I watch those movies every year and all they do is remind me how fucked up people are.

He needs a kick in the teeth.

He's a reminder why the holidays suck for me. Motherfuckers think it's all about them.
