Let the Christmas Season Begin!!

So I started off this Christmas by going to stand in line at Target at 5:00 this morning. They did not have the Elmo TMX and proceeded to feed me some lie about why they're fresh out. Seems they've had them in every morning and they just fly off the shelf yet they didn't have them in THIS morning? The biggest shopping day of the year? Target has let me down twice in two weeks, if my boyfriend and I didn't own stock and if K-Mart and Wal-Mart didn't suck so bad I'd stop going to Target.

When I got home I had a little breakfast, played around here for a bit and then went back to bed. I woke up, ate a turkey sandwich and played around here a bit, you've got to love days off. Anyway, I finally finished the dishes and put away the Thanksgiving decorations and I've begun hauling in the Christmas decorations. So far all I've dragged in are my cookie sheets, cooling racks, cookie gift boxes and plates and adorable gingerbread men measuring cups. Up next, the tree, fake and pre-lit, just as God intended.

I started Christmas shopping weeks ago and I'm almost done, this weekend I'll finish getting stocking stuffers. My Christmas cards are addressed, stamped, sealed and ready to be mailed but I should probably wait until December to mail those. Tonight I'm going to shower and hunker down with Christmas wrap and get the presents that I do have wrapped and ready to go under the tree.

I am thrilled to be so on top of it this year. How are you doing?
 
We did most of our shopping for the kid last week. He got a new 3.33gh computer.

I would not wake up at 5:00am for anything other then to fuck Miss America then go back to sleep.

This year we make chex mix with pretzels and nuts and I will make chocolate covered peanut butter balls. Thats what all the friends and family are getting.
 
^I like your thinking...On all accounts.

I'm not house poor this year so I am able to spoil my niece and nephews a little more, I just got my oldest nephew a PSP with all the bells and whistles last week for his birthday. I'm also able to get my parents good gifts, so dad's getting a new recliner and mom's getting a New TV and new make-up.

Those are my last purchases, I'm waiting for even better deals.
 
Today was shopping day. Bought my son-in-law a new computer desk chair for his birthday. I want a flash drive/thumb drive/thingy-ma-bob that works off the USB port. Went to the Geek Supermart. The body heat, the crushing throng, the huge variety and prices - three 1GB each normally $90 on sale for $40 with a $12 rebate, one 512MB $14.99, caps, no caps, shaped like a surfboard, has a neck chain, black, clear, white, gold - I was overwhelmed, lost. My son-in-law came and rescued me before I puddled. I'll get one later, off the internet, or someone will give me one for Christmas. One day in the stores and I know why my yearly shopping list boils down to gift cards and what I can order from Amazon.com.
 
Men will not admit it to thier women but we love to go shopping and check out all the fine babes. I like to look at camel toes. :)
 
Before I did anything this holiday season, I first had to go shopping for my relatives in Germany. Last year I sent them two stereo systems and foolishly waited till the beginning of December to send them. Due to the size and weight of them both, they didn't get there till the middle of January :(

This year I had to be a lot smarter. I sent jogging suits and a pair of watches and this time I sent them 6 weeks before Christmas. As for the rest of the family here in the states, I haven't bought anything yet. That, I will do this friday (Dec 2nd).
 
I am planning on avoiding Christmas this year. I will not drag out my prelit fake 7' Christmas tree (with real pinecones) from QVC. I will not drag out the tangled mess of Christmas lights to string around the bushes in the front of the house. I refuse to hit the mall or the stores on the fancy street here in town to spend money and run up the credit cards. Nope, this year will be peaceful, pleasant and Christmas-less. . .just the way I like it.

Bah-Humbug.

What can we do to get you in the spirit this year?

Now that's what I'm talking about.

Fuck this holiday shit.
 
Please stop following the societal dictates that force you to go shopping for people you hate (admit it) at 5am on Black Friday. It's just another form of indoctrination, you know.

Buy. Buy. Buy. If you don't buy, you won't be loved, and you dont love your relatives. :(

Join me now. Boycott Christmas forever.
 
When I was little (under the age of 4), I vividly remember being taken to a department store by my mother. It was Christmas time. She insisted that I sit on the department store's Santa's lap. I kept insisting to my mother that there was no such thing as Santa Claus, that it was just someone hired by the store. Quite honestly, I don't know where I came up with this idea at that age, except through observation of the ill-fitting fake beard and dolly hair wig. I refused to sit on the fake Santa's lap. He asked me what I wanted for Christmas. I responded that it made little difference what I said as Santa did not exist and there wasn't any way the fake Santa was going to provide me with some wish fulfillment...or words to that effect. Mother only tried one other Christmas to do the Santa bit, and then gave up.

My two older sisters tried very hard to make me believe in Santa. They tried telling me stories about seeing Santa on Christmas Eve, etc. But, their stories were never believed by me. I guess I could not resolve the conflict of Christmas, the birth of Christ, and Santa, because it was an unholy triad in my mind.

While out shopping with my mother during the Christmas season, I was able to observe people and their motives. I was only 4, but being that I observed and still remain mostly ignored by the world at large, I was afforded the unique chance to really see what was going on. And what, may you ask, did I see? Why, I saw people shoplifting, or being rude to one another. I saw children being smacked and berated by their stressed out parents. Oh, and lots of adult couples arguing about not being able to afford whatever it was they were arguing about. Merry Christmas to one and all!

As a small child I was a dedicated people watcher. Unfortunately, it ruined any childlike wonder I may have originally started out with. Then again, my mother thought that for being so young at the time I was just too serious and "old".

The fact that I never got that pony I always wanted may have contributed to the Bah Humbug Syndrome I suffer with to this day.

I think I like Holloween better. It's the only time you can dress up as your deepest, darkest nightmare, and get a free candy reward for doing so.

So, the rest of you enjoy your Christmas to the fullest. Just because I don't care for the holiday doesn't mean you can't go out there and place your financial health in jeopardy by maxing out your credit cards. Some people like living on the edge and you can always file for bankruptcy if things get too tough.

I don't hate my baby nephew but I hear you. I was shopping for my mother who stupidly told my brother she'd already gotten the damn thing so that he wouldn't get it and say it was from Santa like he did last year when my mom bought his other son drum. Oh it's a viscious family drama the likes of which I will not be participating in next year.

I've never, ever shopped on Black Friday and never, ever will again! WORD!


Buy. Buy. Buy. If you don't buy, you won't be loved, and you dont love your relatives. :(

Heheeeeeee, I cut my Christmas card list in half, if I didn't get one from you last year, you ain't gettin' one from me this year. I also managed to go from spending well over $3,000.00 at Christmastime to spending just over $1,200.00 this year. It was as simple as, if I didn't get a gift from you last year, you're not getting a gift from me this year.

COOKIES FOR EVERYONE!!

While I'm semi-ranting, what is it with your friends who are married and have a couple kids expecting a gift for each kid, a gift for them and a gift for their spouse and then turning around and getting you one "family" gift that doesn't come anywhere near equaling what you spent on them? I cut that shit out too this year, one Am.Ex. Gift card to spend anyway you like. A fuck, a you.

Maybe that's why I'm feeling so festive this year, I know that I won't be broke on New Year's Day.
 
I love the Christmas season. For me, it's just a build-up until Christmas Day. The day Christ was born. Christmas music inspires and centers me (I actually listen to it all year long), and I enjoy sharing such a meaningful day with family and friends.

As far as shopping, yes, I live for Black Friday and the deals. But that's as far as it goes. The rest of the month is spent remembering what Christmas is really about. Everything else, I just ignore.
 
^Our new priest is being installed next weekend by Bishop Bruno and I'm really missing my old priest, it's making the true spirit of Christmas hard to get into. I love midnight mass, I hope I can make it this year.
 
I like the gaudiness, the idea, the spirit, and the feel of Christmas. I've been rich and poor so many times, when I don't have it, I don't sweat it, and when I do have it, I spread it around. However, I'm most generous with me because I like me best and I deserve it. Like today. The package of three 1 GB each flash drives went back up to $100 since Friday. So, I bought me one 1 GB on sale for $20 and another 1 GB (1 to a customer limit) of a different brand for $20 with a $10 rebate and a flash drive caddy that will hold six of the flash drives. All I need now is a new cell phone - which should be free this year from my carrier, and a new graphics card and I'm done shopping for me. Still have my Secret Santa giftee to purchase real gifts for - she doesn't want gift cards. The kids want gift cards to the Geek Superstore and restaurants, and loaded credit cards. The kids are generous with me, so I am generous with them. I'd like to give them a paid vacation to some place nice but it will be months before they can get off together at the same time for more than a couple of days. We'll see.
 
^Would you like to be my mommy?

My parents have the attitude that Christmas is for children so Gran B and Papa's Gran Babies are getting THE WORKS! New TV's, gaming systems, you name it. That's all fine and well and all but I don't have any kids. Fortunately, I KNOW my mom will buy me stuff, I'm too good a kid all year round to get a lump of coal on Christmas morning.
