The 60 days of Christmas disgust me. Especially Black Friday. Especially the music.

Christmas Eve is my favorite because you're done with your coerced merchandise shopping and you can sit alone in the dark drinking eggnog in peace.

Christmas makes me saaaad

I am glad my best friend is a Jew.

It's people like you that break Bill O'Rielly's heart.

GOOD

I WISH I COULD BREAK IT TWICE.

He's not a hippie, though.

He just lubs Amurrika and you want to wreck it.  :cry:

I'll smash the whole thing with my Jew-love and my Jesus-hating ways.

I bet you even like French people.   :argh!:

Well... I wouldn't go THAT far. But I probably hate them less than I hate Canadians.

It all makes me sick. There was fucking displays in mid October. Soon, there will be displays at my birthday.

And you know, theres a lot of bits that don't make me sick individually. For example, bringing a tree in the house and decorating it. I love that idea. I love exchanging gifts. I love good food and large meals with friends. None of these things are bad. Fuck the religion. Fuck the commercialization of the religion even more.

I don't mind the shit going up early in craft stores.  Some of are fucking slow with projects, and if they waited until December 1st to put that shit up, I'd still be making presents until Easter.

Also, the lights in the streets are kinda pretty :)

Over here it's always a battle between Sinterklaas and Christmas, though. You can't really put both in the displays, and Sinterklaas happens sooner, but then you'd have to switch up all the displays after Dec 5th for Christmas things and ... well I assume it must be really confusing for shop owners :lulz:

Last year we also had a crazy ass Christmas Tree sculpture made out of discarded bicycles on one of the main city squares. I'll try to remember to take pics if they do another weird installation like that again.

:(

But :mittens: to the OP. I like it and Baba Yaga, like LMNO said, fits wonderfully.

Thanks. 

But this thread is now about Terry Fucking Pratchett.

I shouldn't post in it then, since I've never read anything by him.

Blight,
-Ok with missing out on the TP

He's an amazing writer.  I have no problem with his work1, and enjoy it very much.

However, it's fucking annoying as hell when you try to have fun with a cultural myth, and some Goddamn Pratchett Fanboi derails everything by bringing up a Pratchett story that is at best tangentially related.

If I wanted to write about the fucking Hogfather as an alternate Santa, I would have.  But I fucking didn't, I wrote something entirely unrelated, and CPD can kiss my entire arse.

I'm really fucking pissed about this.



1 Except that the bastard beat me to the funniest joke I've thought of in at least a year, apparently (reverse Phrenology).

Wow.  I was being a DUMBASS in this thread.  Apologies to CPD.
