StarChaser, Dec 24 2000
  

       Friend of mine just had a "Non-denominational winter-related festivity." It was an interesting party.. everything from Christmas decorations to "virgin sacrifices."
FakeGreenDress, Dec 25 2000
  

       I think I hit critical *mass*; time for that New Year diet resolution.

       <python> ow! lay off! We haven't started yet!</python>

Looking out of my window, I can see some bloke's already got his house totally covered in Christmas lights. Now where are my wire cutters...
DrBob, Dec 01 2001
  

       I wish a lot of things, but mainly just for whirled peas. I'm getting Christmassy feelings... but I think it's mainly due to the frosty cold and that it's getting dark at 3.45pm these days. And the best excuse of all the seasons of the year to go shopping *every day*!!!

hippo, Dec 24 2001
  

       I don't hate Christmas. I just hate the fact that there are still fools out there who believe it means something, in the face of massive evidence to the contrary.   

       I hope that 30 Million years from now some earnest student digs up some crappy plastic trinket in the shape of a reindeer or the fat dickhead in the red suit (as popularised by Coca-Cola) and assumes they were some sort of ancient lifeforms.   

       You're all doomed, doomed, I say....
UnaBubba, Dec 24 2001
  

       Who cares about all the mumbo jumbo and commercial bollocks? It's just an excuse to get totally blattered and then get fed by the relatives. The party starts now! Merry whatever, to anyone who's still here!

       Santa: "This is SANTA CLAUS and I'm in Bermuda, and I need help dialing in."   

       StarChaser: "Um, okay, can I have your problem number, please, Santa?"   

       Santa: "I don't know about any proble . . . Hey! This is SANTA and it's CHRISTMAS EVE and THIS IS IMPORTANT and I'M IMPORTANT. Are you planning on helping me? I want to talk to someone who is able to help me. . . ."

       May we all pray for peace, and may someone, for god's sake, listen to our prayers and lift the life of those in Africa, and everywhere else in the world, where there is pain, and suffering, hunger and war.

Remember ... this Christmas,
December ... means business.
While merchants may vary,
Each loves Virgin Mary (and Jesus.)
  

       I'm pleased by the season,
My Visa's the reason,
My Plastic's elastic,
I'm sure to pay it off by September!
csea, Dec 18 2007
  

       I boned you.... mwahahahaha! Although, I am happy about the winter solstice and the fact that winter is half over. Oh and Go Commercialism!!!!

       I bought my son a remote control helicopter for about 30 bucks. It's the neatest bit of engineering I've seen. It even recharges from the batteries in the controller. So far I've only had to get up on the roof once to retrieve it.
UnaBubba, Dec 25 2007
  

       All the boys, big ones and medium ones are out seeing Alien vs Predator. I was in the basement painting.   

       Happy Christmas to all!
dentworth, Dec 25 2007
  

       Strictly speaking, we halfbakers should celebrate the six days of christmas - the second half, not the first.
Ian Tindale, Dec 30 2007
  

       So, to follow Ian's train of thought, I hope everyone has a Spiffy Seventh Day of Christmas tomorrow, and may your seven swans swim soberly and serenely, at least until it's time to party!   

       Best wishes to all for "aught-eight".
