And so the seasonal nightmare begins...

What I speak of is the dreaded Xmastime "gift basket."

You know the one: chock full with brownies, cookies, candies, muffins and everything else on the planet to seriously bloat the waistline.

Our first arrived today, and the minions that work here tore through it like hyenas on an antelope.

I could go on, but a double peanut butter scone awaits...

now, but later

My seasonal nightmare is the GODDAMN CHRISTMAS F*CKING MUSIC that starts in Sep-f*cking-tember and plays in every public f*cking location imaginable.

If I hear "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" one more time I'm going to go postal.

"We Wish You A Merry Christmas, We Wish You A Merry Christmas, We Wish You A Merry Christmas, And A Happy New Year."

"We Wish You A Merry Christmas, We Wish You A Merry Christmas, We Wish You A Merry Christmas, And A Happy New Year."

"We Wish You A Merry Christmas, We Wish You A Merry Christmas, We Wish You A Merry Christmas, And A Happy New Year."

"We Wish You A Merry Christmas, We Wish You A Merry Christmas, We Wish You A Merry Christmas, And A Happy New Year."

"We Wish You A Merry Christmas, We Wish You A Merry Christmas, We Wish You A Merry Christmas, And A Happy New Year."

P.S. monotonous, ain't it?

LMFAO - See, you reach 2000 posts and you go ballistic.

I also hate catchy Target ads with Santa trying to figure out what the hell he's delivering an overpopulated planet for xmas.

My idea: "How 'bout condoms, Nick!"

OH! AND PLEASE STOP TELLING ME TO QUIT SMOKING BEFORE NEW YEARS!

In fact, I can't wait until New Years. Right at midnight, I like to go out on my front porch, and listen to all the sub-machine guns and bazookas go off in my neighborhood.

There is a woman down the hall at my work
who whistles Christmas carols all day.

I'm a reasonably mellow guy, but I...can...feel...my...blood...pressure...rising.

Yes, she has been spoken to. It's no use.

The two things that bother me about Christmas are:
1) christmas music
2) the pressure of buying the perfect present (new socks for dad ain't my style)

Otherwise, Christmas is cool for me.

I like Thanksgiving the most, because there's no pressure except for the expectation to eat a lot, enjoy time off, and watch football. Men tend to excel at those events

dd74, don't worry about those sweets. Just hop on the bike and all that good-good stuff will melt away. I got my new bike yesterday and put in 2 LONG rides. I have the appetite of a mutant goat now, but boy those hills sure do hurt (my legs feel like putty).

You said it brother!! I feel the same way. Plus, stores should not be able to MENTION Christmas in any way till the day after Thanksgiving.

I do dig the parties, holiday cheer and sharing the true meaning of Christmas with the family.

Hmmmm..maybe I'll make homemade Eggnog this year?

My old neighborhood was a Christmas Tree Lane where everybody put up so many lights that it looked like Las Vegas and had electric bills to match. Quiet literally there were so many people driving through the neighborhood that it took 2 hours to make the loop. My neighbors even started selling candy and hot chocolate to the tourists. It would take me an extra 15 minutes to get home going in the back way, with a residence pass. Naturally I was the only one in the neighborhood who didn't put up lights, except for the Muslims down the street, who nobodys ever seen anyway. That is the one thing I don't miss being here.

Oh the lights go up right after Thanksgiving and start coming down the day after Christmas. Whats really odd is that the 2 weekends before Christmas is jammed packed but Christmas Eve and Christmas day it's completely dead. Go figure.

I just tend to ignore Christmas..for me Christmas is 365 days a year. I don't work..yech...if I really want something I tend to get it...like that expresso maker... All I have to do is ask Mother for it, or wait for the next check from the Trust fund.

Now that's what I call living, Tabs!

Oh, another thing I can't stomach. The movie "It's A Wonderful Life."

Who says it's a wonderful life?

Oh man! Did you just write the all time worse quote in modern cinema?

You did write the all time worse quote in modern cinema.

That movie is worse than watching a marathon of bad kabuki theater.

Quick, where's my extension cord? Point me to a solid ceiling beam...

Bad kabuki theatre? Isn't that redundant?

Kenbu is great stuff, though.
