Any one else not feeling the spirit of Christmas this year?

I come home from work in a grump every day ,and theres a few weeks to go.
Im over it already!

If it wasnt for my rugrat and family, and SS, id give it a miss completely.

Please post some inspirational , feel good holiday stories, so i can get jump start my buried xmas spirit

yeah

Chuck Fristmas

Not really an inspirational story, but i'm sure you'll get a kick out of it;

We had BBQ Chicken for dinner last night; I cut it up and put the stuffing in a bowl for every one to share.

My 8-year-old daughter had some of the stuffing and then said wow mum that stuffing is yummy, that chicken must have had a really nice dinner before they killed it.
I'm still laughing

Not a Christmas story, but it will either make you laugh or make you

My three daughters like to put on really weird productions for us. Yesterday it was the Pickle War Comedy Show. The 9-yr-old and the 10-yr-old girls dressed up like crazy homeless people, I guess they were supposed to be warriors. I'm talking wild scarves and headbands, the hood to a winter coat without the coat, and mismatched socks. They also each had one boxing glove on. The 12-yr-old was the referee/MC. She had three pickles of different sizes, and starting with the smallest one, she would throw a pickle into the "ring," and the crazy little girls lunged for it, wrestling and beating the hell out of each other to grab it. There were three rounds, and my stomach hurt by the end of it. One would bite the pickle, pickle juice and drool everywhere, then the other would tackle her and grab it out of her hands, then they'd start gleefully punching each other and rolling around on the ground. It was utter insanity.

Aww I think you felt this way last Christmas too(or was it someone else on the org) anywho....

Come here and give me a squeeze u sweety

MrsMdiver said:

I just watched that the other eve

Mach said:

The original is my ALL time fave. Even though I live with someone that does not do holidays, he is soooo going to watch it again this year.

I never feel the ~spirit~ now, how can we when it's so commercialised there's nothing left except buybuybuybuy?

When I have kids, no way I'm bringing them up to want presents, nope, we'll be giving back, donating to charity, volunteering, whatever we can do to actually HELP not consume.

I hate that I can't give any of my 7 cousins a nice card saying I sponsored a child in Africa for them cuz I know they'll look at me like "Where the heck is my (47th) Bratz doll?"

BAH HUMBUG IS RIGHT!!

This brick is filled with Christmas Spirit.

Awww...I'm sorry the spirit hasn't kicked in yet hon.
Hope this thread helps: http://prince.org/msg/100/325587?pg=1

I hate Christmas. In fact, I wish all holidays from Thanksgiving through President's Day would go away (except ML King day). I found that if I ignore xmas it's much less stressful.
