I can't afford it and I don't have time or patience for the commercialized part of it. Any one else have this problem?

It drives me crazy on my in-laws side that *everyone* had to buy gifts for all the kids. We drew names for the adults. Why not do the same for the kids?

I used to be too suicidal before but now I LOVE It.

I love plastic and tinsel and lights and angels and shit like that.

I love giving presents and getting slightly drunk.
I might have a relapse to celebrate.

I don't celebrate Christmas. No really no tree no gift giving nada. I was looking for Christmas traditions to do earlier but decided to say bugger it.

One year I opted out and watched Godfather movies instead. Had a fine old time, if a bit misanthropic.

Christmas is like easter a waste of money, not being scrooge here but it has just got way outta hand.

I spose it doesn't help that as a child christmas was always horrible with parents fighting and being violent.

I won't deny Seb christmas, but I just think it is overrated and superficial :((

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
