20 days till Christmas!

[Sandra Craft]

Not many stupid, "why do atheists even celebrate Christmas?" questions yet.

I wonder if it's started to sink in finally that they could just as easily be asked why a Xtian is celebrating Yule?

I just remembered that I have to get a present for my friend at work. However, she is not difficult to buy for. I saw a nice leather bound volume of Dr Who stories at Barnes & Noble. Anything Dr Who is guaranteed to make her happy.

 It's gagworthy to me.  The music, the decor, all of it.  i know i'm being a negatist, but I cant help the way i feel

[Recusant]

You aren't the only one, AngelOfDeath. Putting a minor key tinge on wretched Christmas music and giving it Lovecraftian lyrics helps. A little. 

Death to the world! Cthulhu's come:
Let Earth abhor this thing.
Let every mind prepare for doom,
As anguish and woe he'll bring.

Up from the sea, R'lyeh did rise:
The cultists awestruck dumb.
With ancient rites so wretched and perverse,
Cthulhu's time has come.

Death to the world! Cthulhu reigns.
The Great Old Ones Destroy
With wrath and doom, so cruel and foul,
Replete with obscene joy.

He rules the Earth with dreadful might,
And through our ghastly dreams
His twisting turning tentacles
Elicit from us maddened screams.

Cthulhu's time has come.

Ooer!

Replete with obscene joy.

He rules the Earth with dreadful might,
And through our ghastly dreams
His twisting turning tentacles
Elicit from us maddened screams.

Cthulhu's time has come.

I love that!

[Biggus Dickus]

I saw this on twitter today.

Me, trying to explain the movie "A Christmas Story" to a European friend.

"It's about a little boy who really wants a BB gun for Christmas."

"He wants a gun?"

"Err, yeah, but it's a toy."

"Guns are toys?"

"Um ... so everyone tells him no that he'll shoot his eye out."

"Yes, they are right."

Got half of my holiday cards out the other day, got more stamps yesterday and will finish the cards tonight.  If only I'd thought to buy some eggnog as well.  Now feeling like this:

Kool vid Sandy.

It is a bouncy little song, isn't it?

[Dave]

Cor blimey, what a blast from the past!

No, I refuse to get nostalgic at 3am!

No, I refuse to get nostalgic at 3am!

But that's the very best time for getting nostalgic.  Anyway, finished all my cards.  Ran out of holiday stamps, and then out of holiday-themed return address stickers but managed to find enough generic ones to send out Xmas cards without a Halloween theme on the envelope.  (talk about mixed messages)

Now feeling like this --

As if Christmas isn't enough, I also have to put up with Hanukkah madness at my local shopping mall.
