The Official 2005 Fuck Christmas...

[Guest Vitamin X]

I'm at home with my favorite 12 year old, Chivas Regal. No family here, actually, though there'll be a family dinner tommorrow night. I guess to some, that's sort of a blessing, but in a way it's nice to have people around you on a day when everyone you pretty much know is busy spending time with their family. Jealousy? Maybe.

 

Either way, Christmas is a tremendously overrated holiday. I really hate the whole notion of feeling obligated to buy people you may actually not care about in the slightest presents. I don't usually do that anyways, but it seems like that's "the spirit of the season"... New Year's though, ah yes.. You know, it's great because you can reflect on the year you've had, whether good or bad, and look forward to what's coming up. The party that symbolizes it is great because, at least to me, it gives me an opportunity to get so incredibly fucked that the year that's passed is as good as gone in my head. Or at least it'll feel that way, even if just for a little bit.

 

Let's toast this wonderous upcoming occassion, and put this horribly commercialized holiday with a fat bearded man breaking into people's homes behind us.

 

Bacardi, start the party. Fuck off, 2005.

2005 really did blow. New Year's partying will definitely be crazy enough to feel like the capper. For now though, you ruined the Christmas spirit. We were trying to play nice.

Every year since 2000 has blown dick. That said, New Years will be better than Christmas indeed, since tomorrow will be an exact copy of today..watching football and posting on TheSmartMarks.com/forums. I am looking foward to it.

Man, what "christmas spirit"? That shit died out a looooooooooong time ago.. now it's all about spending the most money on the persons you may care about, and buying 5 dollar giftcards for people of little consequence but who would like to be expecting something from you. That's not the fucking Christmas spirit, that's retarded.

 

I tell ya what.. I got the Christmas spirit all year long. I give presents to people on random days (seriously!) and I'm appreciated for that. It's a great feeling to give and not expect anything in return, and I do it anyways. I volunteer, and do community service, and I'm fine. Christmas nowadays is meant for credit card companies to rack up the average person's debt even worse than it already may be... and that's not fine by me.

 

New Year's is a truly wonderful, joyous holiday. Christmas ranks roughly about 4th on my list of holidays, behind my birthday (celebrate another year of living), Halloween (everyone gets to roleplay without feeling like an oddball freak), and of course this wonderous January 1st.

 

I'll also point out that Christmas will REALLY kick ass for me tommorrow if both my favorite teams win, since they're playing hated rivals. Not likely, but of course, possible.

I'll be spending New Years in Jamaica. Fuck a bunch of Indiana winter.

Don't worry, I'm sure the tide will bring their innertubes and flotaing car in before dinnertime.

I never understood why people do this. Unless you are really close to someone, then don't bother getting them anything. It's like that co-worker everybody couldn't stand, but once they announce they're leaving for another job everybody starts acting so sad to see them go. (And no, this didn't happen to me).

 

I like Xmas over New Year's, because New Year's is just an excuse for people to go out and get drunk.

 

And remember, Christmas is commercialized only if you let it...

I'm with Leo.

Thanks, Drew.

 

I actually got through the bottle of Bacardi, but nothing on the Chivas Regal yet. I guess I'll save that for tonight, though.

 

Jamaica seems like an interesting place for New Year's. I'm going to try to find something to do in South Beach this year, as I kind of missed out on that last year. Originally I wanted to go to either L.A. or New York, but decided to save my money for Christmas presents and a new cell phone instead.

 

What goes good with Chivas? I don't really feel like drinking it straight up at first.

Leo, Drew, I don't know if that's a movie reference or your real names.

 

Anyways, 2005 was kickass. Hopefully 2006 keeps it up.

I don't.

I got a HAM for christmas from my grandpa. Yes a chunk of meat. I think I may just glaze it up, and eat it. (by myself )

While I'm not a fan of X-mas at all ... let me be the first to say that NYE is pretty much the most overrated holiday around. It's nothing more than an amateur night.

 

"Oh, I'm going to drink a bunch and party and stay up 'til 12 and celebrate!" Whoopie.
