Merry Christmas to all my PALS on Saddo!

[Gandalf]

And the debt that goes with it. Christmas is cool to say 'I'm alive' and 'Are you alright?', but the rest is definitely very naff. Kids only like it because of ths naff stuff they are programmed to like. I mean, that Santa thing is not something you would have a natural affinity for. Odd.

So you think {assume} that Christmas is only about presents and Santa Claus.

You must be living in 'a box'.

Modern Christmas is an excuse to indulge to credit damaging extremes. I merely posit that the excesses of Christmas spoil it and that a simple family meal would be more than enough for most without all the useless tat. Just enjoy your family and leave it at that would be my approach (though I never go home for Christmas as there isn't enough space for me anymore with all the children raising children in my family...I'm a bloody great Uncle at 35! It is one of the reasons I rail against children that breed.)

It sounds like you are one 'fun' Bastard at Christmas.

Hey, here comes Uncle Gandalf.

Aw Geez. I hate him.

I'm siding with Billy on this one.
Miles is Scrooge incarnate.

I have never been home at Christmas. We adhere to my kind of thinking on the issue. The goal is not to be fun, but to stay true to your ideals.

I've no idea who the kids are. None of my business.

Christmas is fun by treating it as any other day and to not get lost in the foolish hallucinations of the general public.

There's nothing fun about christmas for adults that booze all year round. I normally end up looking at people thinking how can they be that pissed from such little booze.

Also, buying presents for people that I don't really want to is funking stupid. But I do it. Because i'm a cunt.

The only way to avoid the drinking problem you mention here is to get together with a bunch of proper drinkers for the holidays. That way you avoid all the family too. I'm having Christmas dinner with my eighties parents tomorrow and the other members of the family I can stand and then I'm off on a holiday drinking safari and will meet up with a selection of professional year-round stoners and boozers. That's the way to do it.

God bless you all, have a nice time. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Aw, he's OK. I just wish he wouldn't fill his pockets with candy when he leaves.

Honey, take off that outfit and go home.

Uncle Gandalf said that Christmas is 'nothing' to get excited about.

She may as well have shown her breasts, 'cause her face is nothing to brag about.
