To be perfectly honest...I just wish that Christmas would hurry up and pass...I don't want anything, because I don't NEED anything, and my kids have more than any 10 kids put together could EVER need OR want.

...It's all just become a big excuse for wasting a lot of money and obtaining tons of crap


Bah Humbug...lol

Yeah no shit. Anything to help me clean up after my pigletts rocks lol

i'm with you 100%

Whoa...I am truly surprised...I really thought that I was gonna be alone on this one :)

no, i do anything to make it fun for my little guy .. but i've hated xmas as long as i can remember .. shitty family = shitty xmas

Aww...That's kinda sad....I don't have any issues with a 'shitty family', because I stopped having anything to do with them a long time ago...Smart, huh? ;)

And I DO give into the commercialism so that my kids can have fun with it, too...

But, personally...I truly hate it...It's just a financial burden to me...I have ALWAYS hated shopping, and like I said, we really don't need anything...These kids pretty much get what they want (within reason), when they want it, throughout the year...Christmas is just completely irrelevant to me...It doesn't help that I HATE wasting money, and I can't stand materialism...We already have too much 'stuff' as it is...

see .. thats the same thing here too .. although it is cliche to say - i DO hate the commercialism .. the expectations .. mandatory bullshit ..

and my kids wants for nothing year round ..
he doesnt ever ask for anything .
(this is what you get when your dad likes and collects toys as much as the kid :)

I think you may have just hit on something there...I believe that's probably the WORST part of it for me...Feeling like you are being FORCED to do something...Like you HAVE to buy a bunch of shit that no one really needs, just because you're SUPPOSED to...It's fucking insane....I swear, if I didn't have kids, Christmas would pass just like any other day for me...I really mean that...No tree, no lights, no wreath, no cards, no ridiculous amounts of food, no company, and NO WASTING MONEY....Damn, I really am beginning to look like the Grinch here...lol...Oh well...

@ BLOOD AND URGE

It is required of every man that the spirit within him should walk abroad among his fellow men! If it goes not forth in life, it is condemned to do so after death! It is doomed to wander through the world! Oh, woe is me! And witness what it cannot share but MIGHT HAVE SHARED on Earth and turned to happiness!

I wear the chain I forged in life! I made it link by link and yard by yard! I gartered it on of my own free will and by my own free will, I wore it!

So take heed blood and urge...take heed.

HEY...That just reminded me...I played the Ghost Of Christmas Yet To Come, in my school play...I had to wear all black and be all dark and scary...It was a difficult role :rolleyes: ...LMAO
