Christmas

[Typhoid]

So, what do you usually do around Christmas? Do you do things with your family? Any traditions, do you oppose Christmas completely?

As Samantha Bee said. (Paraphrased)

"Christmas, December 25th, the only religious holiday that is also a federal holiday, So Christians can go to their services in peace, and normal people can think about the separation of church and state."

Anyways, I love Christmas.

I have "traditions" that my family always does over the days suurrounding Christmas, and the day itself.

Christmas Eve i go to my grandpas down the street, Christmas, we have people here, and Boxing Day i go to my grandpas in North Van.


(Yes....I will admit, I am slightly unsure on how to spell "grandpa")

I don't think you got her quote down quite right but oh well.


I eat a lot of oranges.
I get happy.
I get depressed.


This year's holidays have been a real joke so far. I can't help but see all the bull**** that this holiday encompasses.

anyway, merry christmas!

Well, I don't finish exams until the 20th, which absolutely sucks. Plus that fact that I go back to school on the 4th completely blows too.

Anyways, every Christmas Eve my family has a party with a bunch of our friends and neighbours. It's usually pretty darn fun! Drunken karaoke is a plus, too.

On Christmas day, we usually open up gifts, then either Christmas lunch at my house and then go to my aunt's/baba's house for desert and gifts, or just go straight thereto eat. I am not sure which one we are doing this year.

I expect either BIG presents or big money from my baba, haha. Why? Because my sister and my aunt are going to New York soon for 4 nights, and staying in some fancy hotel. So that means Christmas bonuses for me! muahahahaahaa.

I would like to wish everybody a Merry Christmas, and leave you with a classic Christmas song.

Down in the workshop all the elves were making toys
For the good Gentile girls and the good Gentile boys
When the boss busted in, nearly scared 'em half to death
Had a rifle in his hands and cheap whiskey on his breath
From his beard to his boots he was covered in ammo
Like a big fat drunk disgruntled Yuletide Rambo
And he smiled as he said with a twinkle in his eye
"Merry Christmas to all - now you're all gonna die!"

The night Santa went crazy
The night Saint Nick went insane
Realized he'd been getting a raw deal
Something finally must've snapped in his brain

Well the workshop is gone now, he decided to bomb it
Everywhere you'll find pieces of Cupid and Comet
Then he tied up his helpers and he held the elves hostage
And he ground up poor Rudolph into reindeer sausage
He got Dancer and Prancer with and old German Luger
And he slashed down Dasher just like Freddy Krueger
Then he picked up a flamethrower and he barbecued Blitzen
Then he took a big bite and said "It tastes just like chicken!"

The night Santa went crazy
The night Kris Kringle went nuts
Now you can't hardly walk around the North Pole
Without stepping in reindeer guts

There's the National Guard and the FBI
There's a van from the Eyewitness News
And helicopters circling 'round in the sky
Now the bullets keep flying the body count's rising
And everybody’s dying to know - Santa, why?
My, my, my, my - you used to be such a jolly guy.

Yes, Virginia, now Santa's doing time
In a Federal prison for his infamous crime
Hey little friend now, don't you cry no more tears
He'll be out with good behavior in seven hundred more years.

(Alternate verse used in concert)
Yes, Virginia, now Santa Claus is dead
A guy from the SWAT team blew a hole through his head
Yes, little friend, that's his brains on the floor
Guess you won't have the fat guy to kick around anymore

Now Vixen's in therapy and Donner's still nervous
And the elves all got jobs working for the postal service
And they say Mrs. Claus she's on the phone every night
With a lawyer negotiating the movie rights
(They talk about)

The night Santa went crazy
The night Saint Nicholas flipped
Broke his back for some milk and cookies
sounds to me like he was tired of getting gypped

The night Santa went crazy
The night Saint Nick went insane
Realized he'd been getting a raw deal
Something finally must've snapped in his brain
Something finally must've snapped in his brain
Tell ya something finally must've snapped in his brain.

Christmas (and most other holidays) are nothing more than pure BS.
Social conditioning works.

Are all Christmas and most other holidays nothing more than pure BS?The ALICE chat robot can follow many things, like our discussion about Christmas and most other holidays. Try being more or less specific.

The birth of Christ is anything but BS.

Amen to that.

I love Christmas. It is my favorite time of year.

My family doesn't have a set way of doing things. It kind of depends on what part of the world we're in. This year I will be driving straight to my Grandma's house after I finish exams (maybe with a stop over in St. Louis to visit jeepnut's house). My parents and siblings will be meeting me there. Then we'll go back to my parent's place and celebrate Chrstmas eve and Christmas day.

On top of that, there are two birthdays to celebrate (in addition to Jesus')
