Christmas!

Can we get passed Thanksgiving first?

(Unless you're not from America, or Puerto Rico, or Liberia, or Norfolk Island, in which case, you're given a pass. )

A nice Mean SUV. My Son just came back from College and I gave him my Bronco.

If by asking Santa to get it for me you really mean buying it myself as soon as online sales start, then I am asking the discounts for a new laptop, camera, chocolate from Godiva, many items from Bath and Body works, items that make me look like a grown up, and then anything "Lolita Clothing" related that will probably make me look more like a child or doll from websites that are written in English because I cannot understand any of the words written in Japanese that surround the coat I want that looks like the one from Beauty and the Beast.

Bitter posters are bitter.

Kinda hoping for some new jeans or sweatshirts myself, and some new games to play with the fam.

A 28mm or shorter f/2.8 Canon EF lens is at the top of my list.

Canadian here .. so definitely past our Thanksgiving However, I do not require presents anymore at this stage in the game. Maybe if I ever have children I will talk Christmas lists again! To me it's all about spending some quality time with my fam

Not to get totally side-tracked, but have you done much reading about capitalism? I'm not saying you haven't done the reading, I'm just curious. I actually used to echo your sentiments a lot in college without having done the research. Not that long ago, I read The Road to Freedom (which sounds cheesy, but is a play off of another book title The Road to Serfdom, so it's not aaaaaaallllll Mer-ca on your *kitten*) and it really changed my opinion. It would be hard to sum up right now, but there are many great arguments for capitalism (waaaaay better than socialism, in terms of getting people the resources they need to stay fed, keeping groceries affordable, etc.). It especially pulls for loosely regulated capitalism, for many, many reasons.

Anyway, I want a recurve hunting bow for the apocalypse and because I like shooting as a hobby. And peace on Earth, of course. But goodwill only toward women!

Cookies, all I want are cookies

The best part about Holdays, Thanksgiving or Christmas, is that all my daughters and those that they care about, my granddaughters, my wife and my friends will all be over. Nothing earth-shattering takes place. I just love to cook for them. I love to watch them talking to each other.

Wait a second, I do have one wish. I wish they would turn off their cell phones.

I agree. How about we just cancel Christmas and put a stop to the increase in anxiety and depression that it seems to cause from people running around rushing, trying to make it perfect?

I don't do Christmas but I laugh at how all the people who claim to love it whip themselves into a crazed, manic frenzy that leaves them exhausted and numb by the time the big day arrives.
