So yeah, considering it's only 4 days away until Christmas ( or less depending on the timezone you're in ) maybe we should have an annual rant about the annoying things you have to deal with at Christmas, somehow even though it's only a few people coming my mum in particular has gotten into that overexcited must-annoy-and-pester-everybody phase so now I think I'm going to lock myself in my room with a riot shield and several cans of beans so I can survive the week >_<.

Okay, the annoying things: 1. Talking with the relatives you do not like and just annoys you. 2. The one relative who drinks to much and is totally wasted like 15.00 (3pm). 3. That you have to buy christmas presents to people that don't want or need anything. 4. Writing rhymes for all presents (I don't know if people outside of Sweden does so?)
Otherwise I think Christmas is really nice. I actually look forward to it this year.

You have to write rhymes for the presents? That's hilarious... My Christmas is going to be a little different from previous years, but it's going to be something like, good dinner, get drunk, gift exchange at midnight and it's done.

One thing i don't like in christmas is You have to buy another person a gift. For me more important is to be with the person i Love like My gf my mom dad brother etc. Than buying something that don't give them that Love. I know there are some presents that really make people happy. But they make them Love You more ? 4. Writing rhymes for all presents (I don't know if people outside of Sweden does so?) If i don't like someone i will write. Scratch my back lick my crack merry christmas You stupid f**k

You can get round it by asking them if they actually want anything and that way you can also not fuck up giving them the present as well, I think most of my family has finally agreed the secrecy part of Christmas is stupid and doesn't work. 4. Writing rhymes for all presents (I don't know if people outside of Sweden does so?) We get really horrible jokes in crackers at Christmas but that's all I can think of.

The Origin of Christmas Presents In pre-Christian Rome, the emperors compelled their most despised citizens to bring offerings and gifts during the Saturnalia (in December) and Kalends (in January). Later, this ritual expanded to include gift-giving among the general populace. The Catholic Church gave this custom a Christian flavor by re-rooting it in the supposed gift-giving of Saint Nicholas. Thats why we giving each other christmas gifts

I don't care for Christmas, it's only fun for kids really. Now it's just another day. I usually don't even buy people presents either, but I got my mum and dad some this year. I tell peeps not to get me stuff, but they always do. We're having Christmas day tomorrow because both my Mum and Auntie are working on Christmas day, but I'm not really looking forward to it and all the same old questions they ask me every year that always have the same answers.

There is no snow here, so Christmas is canceled if you ask me.

My anually occuring, favorite christmas news story seems to fit here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o88tDmF7cEkIt's the Gävle goat burning (yet again). My all time favorite is 2005 when a single burning arrow shot from the treeline torched it, cant seem to find a video of it.

Same here. Only small shoveled and dirty piles left. Maybe it'll snow in the following days, although I doubt it.

Most of you simply have missed the point about xmas. It's 'bout love and unity. Do yourselves a favor and listen to your own hearts, feel the meaning of life. Try to develop your very own special sense for it and you'll find yourselves wondering 'bout yourselves struggling with small minded problems like "doing present to someone you don't like" or blaming your poor existence for xmas. to get a hunch for it check out my favorite xmas vid WARNING! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26OjRnBGNJM needs login, but better quality http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7wAXYBRa9g poor sound I hope you get to the point, at least a little closer. edit: and pray you don't run into Wolfgang
