I don't like anything about it, the songs, the lights, etc. wish I could skip it & I don't buy gifts, but this year our grand kids picked adult names to get them a gift, so we have 2 gifts to buy, ugh. It's not a religious thing as I'm a christian, It just seems to be all about $ and gift giving. I am glad that the world celebrates it though. I'll be glad when it's over
It's funny how it goes. I'm a deep-seated atheist, yet I love Christmas. Well certain aspects of it. I totally understand resenting the commercialisation of it. I don't stress over it and I don't get into debt, that's no fun. For me it's about family and silly fun and something to look forward to when the weather is so miserable.
Plus I enjoy making things (when I have time) and the kids are just getting to that age where it's magical so I'm all in this year. I went big on homemade decorations this year. Our house is a taste free zone!
I still love Christmas too. I don't do much as there are no little kids and that makes all the difference. It's just me and my mom and her boyfriend. But I love the tree and the music and the old movies. I was so upset my mom had a little table top tree last year she relented and got me a real tree again this year. I love to look at the tree in the dark and listen to carols.
I'm excited this year since my mom & I went together with her Walmart Savings catcher (we both contributed receipts) & bought my nieces a Barbie Dream House. To see their reaction will be priceless in itself.
At first I was researching wooden dollhouses on Walmart.com made by Kid Craft but my mom said those can take six hours to put together & more or less need to be attached to a wall in case they would fall over onto the child. With the Dream House it apparently makes different noises & some parts fold into others.
I remember the doll house my dad made was one of my favorite presents growing up. My nieces still play with it to this day.
I think I spent about $40.00-$60.00 of non savings catcher money per kid.
I even bought my sister's future kid a present. This will be her last one.
I bought my nieces the dream house years ago. And the camper. And the car. Everything Barbie. I bought them everything I was never allowed to have as a kid. My last niece was so not into Barbies so I was never able to do that for her.1 -
Yay for page 3300!
Also I hate getting the stray hairs under my chin. Such a PITA to remove.
I also despise that my eyebrows can be very unruly & grow in extremely thick.0 -

My one niece I bought a My Life Doll & it's crazy all the accessories that come with these dolls. There's a pretty decent sized arcade game (plays some off brand Atari kind of games) & one at work that I kept playing with at SD had a toilet that if you hit the button it makes a flushing sound.0 -

I don't listen to much Christmas music, but this one is a huge favourite of mine:

I am the least hairy Italian I know....not only do I not have any sign of hair on my face, my legs are pretty hairless....I have zero hair on my arms, and hardly anything on my underarms either
Not sure what is up with that, but I won't complain

Anyone besides me have those 2 or 3, okay maybe 7, stiff hairs that grow out of your chin and neck.
When did this happen?
I have loads. I always had a couple, then several more joined after each pregnancy. So glamourous. I'm blaming my french genes (my french grandma had a full on beard by the time she was 100). I'm only 32, I'm going to make an epic Santa by the time I'm 65!4 -
Well done for making page 3300 the page of chin hairs!1

I have not missed workplace washing up roulette one bit this year. My only hope is since my office moved to a brand new, purpose built building while I was in maternity leave, people will be more likely to take care of it. In our last place we had to wash our pots in the actual toilet cubicle as that was the only sink! We have an actual kitchen now. Super civilised!1

My 5 employees they made me the boss of are the best people l. They brought me GF muffins from my local bakery/coffee shop because I couldn't participate in the cookie exchange yesterday.
I didn't need the muffins and I am not going to eat them anytime soon because it's birth week at my house, but it was really a thoughtful thing for them to do.5 -
Dang it! I missed 3300!!1

Awww, that was really nice!0 -
I just received an email from a friend - she gave me a Groupon gift of 15 bottles of wine.
I went in to redeem -- cost me $40 to get it shipped. UGH!!! This kind of feels like buying a gift for myself.
Am I just being petty?2 -

Dang, I missed 3300, well in for 3301.

I just dropped my unpeeled banana and it rolled under my desk. :mad:
It's perfectly acceptable to replace it with a sugar cookie, right?!?5 -

Definitely!
It would have been way passed the 5 second rule, but to honest I would never eat anything off my workplace break room floor.0 -

Yuck! Sorry you had to assist on that.
I give you guys props on all of the crap you either have to witness, read about, or even deal with on a day to day basis.
Have you guys had to use the new technology by going into genealogy databases to nab criminals?0 -
Well that was disturbing.....all around....0

Wait, they have a doll toilet that flushes? Or did I misread that?0 -

We haven't personally. But I'm never doing one of those DNA tests for that reason. :laugh:2
