We usually put the tree up on Christmas Eve, or the 23rd. And it's always a real tree; none of that fake plastic nonsense. ;)

ruddy hell, your family must be pretty grim :shock:

We've got a christmas party for work on Friday, seems a bit early but it should be good.

 

I thought about giving my mum a CD I downloaded from the computer but then I might look cheap. Especially if she gets me something expensive and I've ended up spending 50p on a blank CD to burn it onto

 

 

I don't think mums much care how much you spend, she might like it more because you've made it. Or buy her something small too...

Nah, we just don't like to prolong Christmas. It's more fun that way, as it's much easier to get into the spirit, and in a way it's much less anticlimatical.

 

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to understate the importance of Christmas or anything. I mean, I'm a Christian myself, and as such it is of particular significance for me because it symbolises so much. I guess that's at the root of my bitterness really. With all the commercialism of Christmas (and Easter), these festivals lose all their meaning to society, and that's something that I find quite saddening.

Microsoft® Xbox 360® is top of my list. However I'm a dirty non religious heathen.

 

I very much doubt anyone will buy me one.

No tree up yet until at least after Sinterklaas, which is on December 6. Been putting up a plastic tree the last couple of years, because my mom was getting tired of the needles that kept falling on the ground from the real tree. I don't mind the plastic tree, it looks nice too.

 

Haven't bought anything yet, though I'm looking around for possible presents.

And this is my list of things I'm asking:

 

-Kirby: Power Paintbrush (will probably get this from my parents)

-Starsailor's Silence is Easy cd (will probably get this from one of my sisters)

-Black & White 2 (doubt I'll get this)

-Copic Markers (not even sure they know what these are)

-a gift voucher thingie from an art store here

 

Not quite yet in the Christmas spirit, seeing as it's a bit too early for that, even though my mom's family will be holding a Christmas reunion on the 18th, just because everyone will be gone/busy on the 25th. So yeah.

Jordan, what model is that, i can't find it on Creatives site, can only find another model, but that ones looks nicer :(

 

E: well, top of my list is either this or this.

 

i haven't decided yet, and i'm gonna donate £50 to the cause since £250 is a rather large amount.

 

If i can't get a bass, i'm gonna try and get a Creative Zen Sleek.

Thats preperation really.

 

I was thinking about it and I get paid next week some time from Sports World, then on the 9th from Game and the 23rd from Game again. Shame I'll be at work Xmas eve, as the pay cheque on the 23rd will be sweet. 80 hours worth (and thats just 2 weeks).

I have requested the second season of the West Wing on DVD and Mario Kart DS. The kids are getting a NDS each. So we'll have five.

Damn another year where i've already bought everything I want before Christmas, damn impatience. Might ask for Sonic Rush or Battalion Wars, but i'd be quite happy with the standard feast, a tree and lounging around watching Christmas TV/Movies.

Oh i love christmas :D

 

ITS THE BEST TIME OF THE YEAR!

 

The partys, the food (always having more than you need) the alcohol, giving presents, reciving presents, unwrapping presents, new years, the birth of jesus, the cold weather (i love wrapping up warm), the possibility of snow and spending time with family.

 

To not enjoy christmas you must have A have sold your soul or B have a non working heart. :santa:

ackk no you dont work in 2 jobs!! i did that (one 37 hour week and one 16 hour week) in two weeks i was going insane. It rocks having so much money but you don't half have the time or energy to spend it!

 

I start my christmas shoppin early, cause i dont like relying on the last paycheck before christmas - maybe im just strange.

Did you know that men shopping on Christmas Eve suffer more stress than riot police during a riot? :heh:

Just for all your weird history or old people, here's a fact. One of the islands of Shetland celebrates Christmas on January 6th (I think), the 12th day of Christmas, like people used to do ages ago.

 

Hmmmm
