Happy christmas to all

[DreadRandal]

Religious overtones? No, we're just poking fun at the fact you say "Happy Christmas" when it's always "Merry Christmas". For some reason. I don't really know why. That's all

Happy/Merry Christmas is just another convenient way to tell them Brits from us Yanks. Like chips or fries, boot or trunk, torch or flashlight, telly or TV, holiday or vacation, etc...

Merry Christmas or happy other holiday to you all.

Incidentally, we usually have ham on Christmas, but in the past have had turkey as well.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

I've changed my avatar in honor of the occasion, of course.

EDIT: And the signature.

What have you guys put on your Christmas-list? If you don't have one, by the way, you are not cool.

Myself, I was pretty excited about the Tomb Raider game, since it looks like an open world Uncharted (no idea how it actually is) and it has got good reviews... Everywhere, so I thought that maybe I could support the game in some way, as it apparently made loss for some reasons.

For DVD side I wished for Iron Man 3, Pacific Rim and Elysium. It really was a big year for sci-fi. I thought about the Hobbit DVD but maybe I'll just buy them all once the uncut trilogy edition comes out. Depends on how the latter movies are, of course.

I also asked for a cool coat, like some of those cool people wear, you know. The kind of tall ones that people just look at and go: "Woah!" I also am getting an awesome scarf, made by my grandfather (it has all the colours of the rainbow and more) and I also wished for another colour of bow-tie for my collection (I am currently rocking a blue one, a red one, a black one, a white one, a black one with white dots, a green one and an orange one, so I am hoping for a violet one or a golden one).

Also, movie tickets and chocolate! Going to watch movies today is too dang expensive on many occasions, so it's kind of sucky to go to a movie which can totally suck unexpectedly while paying for 20€ for the ticket and the popcorn.

That's all for me. How about you guise?

And also a premature "Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!" from me! I hope you all will enjoy some happy and peaceful feast days!
Here in Bavaria we have traditionally Christmas goose or Christmas carp! But in my family we preferred Christmas turkey and this Christmas we will even have a Christmas roast pork with red Christmas cabbage and Christmas dumplings!

My Christmas list is rather short, because I will get a vita, but I would also like to get "Beyond Two Souls" and the extended DVD version of "The Hobbit" And maybe I will make a gift for me and my wife together! I'd like to watch the show "Momix Botanica" and maybe I will get some cards for it!^^





Many greetings, Jürgen^^

My list is just some parts for the PC im building, a decent headset, and...

A Rubik's Cube, because swag.

Rubik's Cube

Anyone remember when I made a video of myself solving a rubik's cube really fast by just reversing a video of me scrambling a solved rubik's cube? Genius

As for my own christmas list, all I want for Christmas is you, RockSauron

I have a girlfriend.

Anyway, I don't have a Christmas list because my folks give me enough already and I feel like a freeloader asking for stuff I don't particularly want. Does that make me not cool?

[ARD•]

I have a girlfriend.

I swear you weren't even online when I posted that. I just have to mention you and you appear and crush my dreams like the horrible evil warlord you are. Bah humbug.

When it comes to me an Rubik's Cubes it usually goes something like: "It's beginning to look a lot like SCREW THIS!"

And yes, Rawk. Not having a Christmas list is very uncool.

And so is building a PC, Ryan.

[RockSauron]

And yes, Rawk. Not having a Christmas list is very uncool.

So, should I force my parents to purchase me stuff I don't need nor want just to be cool? Very well.

And also, Ard. You know that's why you love me

[Rabid-Coot]

We know what's on your list.

[RockSauron]

We know what's on your list.

Fool. I do not ASK for peanuts. All peanuts are already mine to begin with.

Getting spammy....

Getting spammy....

Sorry mommy...

Anyway, my folks give me enough, I don't need anything. No locking my brother and dog out in the snow to get a peak at my Christmas presents this year!

We save it for Thanksgiving, freak. 'Murrica
Actually most of the U.S eats turkey for christmas(turkey is from North America, it wouldn't even be part of the winter holidays if it wasn't)..and ham..some regional places don't though.
*cough*the places with taste*cough*
/England influenced U.S has terrible food/
/parts of U.S influenced by France/Spain for best/only good american food/
/basically the only good food in the U.S is from the south/

The U.S does have christmas traditions, specific foods, songs and all that stuff...but christmas songs suck, traditions are stupid and personally..the food from the rest of the U.S is terrible

It's in neither of our national temperaments to care much for food, outside of its utility. Once Christmas was in the hands of the English it would inevitability become coarse, pious, sensual and alcoholic.

People who change their avatars to Christmas-y stuff are cool.

Ooh, I must be cool ... come to think of it, I am sensing a bit of a chill. Maybe I should throw on a sweater.

May as well add to the discussion before this can of spam is locked to the history books...

So anyone got any memorable Christmas memories to share with the class.

Once our Santa was a woman trying to speak in a male voice.

It was obviously fake and pretty pathetic so I felt very sad for her and gave her a kiss on the cheek, thinking it'd cheer her up.

[jwwphotos]

I remember as a small kid about 2 or so, I was scared to death of Santa and hated sitting on his lap. Couldn't handle standing in line for him or anything. However one time while shopping with my Mom there was one at the store not far away. He saw me and kept leaning out to get a glimpse of me, but I would hide around the clothes racks. He was persistent, smiling and kept waving me over. He had a candy cane in his hand and would lean out from his chair catching me taking a peek at him. I kept hiding, but his kind smile got the best of me. My Mom kept asking me if I wanted to go get it or not and I finally did. He was such a kind man and thankful the police caught him so soon after he kidnapped me.

...ok, that last part was a fib. lol

Seriously though, he was really kind sweet old man. He handed me the candy cane and asked if I wanted to sit on his lap. I was still scared and clinging to my Mom, but he said I could just tell him what I wanted and not get up there. I did and he gave me a hug, then wished me a Merry Christmas. I thought it was so nice that he was so kind to me even though I was so scared.

I know.. it is kind of silly, but remembering that just makes me smile.

Merry Christmas!
