olp1fan Posted December 5, 2011 Report Posted December 5, 2011 (edited) So you are celebrating the fact you don't celebrate? Wouldn't call it celebrating just a happy coincidence Edited December 5, 2011 by olp1fan Quote
cybercoma Posted December 7, 2011 Report Posted December 7, 2011 Bummer. No joy there at all. With all due respect, who are you to tell a person how to find joy in their own life? Quote
Topaz Posted December 7, 2011 Report Posted December 7, 2011 It seems like more people would like Santa to bring them groceries than worrying about gifts which are usually ended up being returned the next day. Quote

MiddleClassCentrist Posted December 8, 2011 Report Posted December 8, 2011 What Christmas is All About Quote Ideology does not make good policy. Good policy comes from an analysis of options, comparison of options and selection of one option that works best in the current situation. This option is often a compromise between ideologies.
Shwa Posted December 8, 2011 Report Posted December 8, 2011 I go YES! but do i blow out candles, receive gifts and eat turkey? no So you DO celebrate something, even IF it is low-key. Right? Quote

Shwa Posted December 9, 2011 Report Posted December 9, 2011 Buzz off "Buzz off?" Is it suddenly the early 70's all over again? {shudder} I do not celebrate anything and it is awesome Well, so you do celebrate something and you know what? That is perfectly OK. Quote
BC_chick Posted December 9, 2011 Report Posted December 9, 2011 (edited) I used to be a grinch about xmas. But then I had kids and all of a sudden I believe in Santa Claus too. I know children have voracious appetites for fun and to be honest, watching them grow in anticipation is a gas. This morning we had the first snow and my daughter say to her brother, Maccaluim Ruadh ...look snow! Santa will be here soon!!!! And both laughed and danced till I yelled at them to stop their bleeding capering and go brush their teeth before I smacked their backsides. God I love them. I concur. And my daughter is only 20 months, but I can see it coming. It's the first year I ever decorated and put up lights too. But since she's too young to know any better I'm filling her stocking with all the things I need... for her anyway. As for the consumerism of Christmas - I do the same thing EVERY year... I say I'm not going to buy any gifts and then I break down somewhere between the 15th and the 20th and end up scrambling.

Guest American Woman Posted December 9, 2011 Report Posted December 9, 2011 I concur. And my daughter is only 20 months.... Awwww. 20 months is such a fun, cute age - they are coming into their own personality more every day and so aware of everything around them. Will be a fun Christmas for you for sure! Enjoy. Quote

Will be a fun Christmas for you for sure! Enjoy. Thanks AW, I know. I can't believe how much she communicates now, answering questions and understanding everything I say. I looked at videos of last Christmas earlier tonight and I shed a tear at how much she's grown. It certainly is going to be a great Christmas.

Moonlight Graham Posted December 10, 2011 Report Posted December 10, 2011 Just went to the store to buy some milk and came back having bought six 50" TV's and I don't know why or even who i'm going to give them to. In fact I barely even remember buying them. Quote "All generalizations are false, including this one." - Mark Twain Partisanship is a disease of the intellect.
olp1fan Posted December 11, 2011 Report Posted December 11, 2011 were you drunk or on something? Quote
cybercoma Posted December 11, 2011 Report Posted December 11, 2011 Is that what I am doing? How do you think it makes a person feel when you tell them that the way they choose to live their life is "joyless"? That's at the heart of what I'm saying. Quote
cybercoma Posted December 11, 2011 Report Posted December 11, 2011 What are you??? A monk or a eunuch??? Again, folks, not cool. You're talking to another person here. If this is how olp1fan chooses to live or has to live, how do you think calling him/her (I'm not sure olp1fan's gender) a monk or a eunuch makes him/her feel? These kind of comments can make a person feel crazy or abnormal, isolated and alone. Quote

Pick me! Perhaps it makes him feel the same way others feel when he directs the same type of comment towards them. Ya think? These kind of comments can make a person feel crazy or abnormal, isolated and alone. I would hope to God that no one takes anonymous comments on a web board so seriously, much less to that ultimate extreme - especially when one is happily living the lifestyle they feel is "awesome." You seriously think anonymous comments on a web board are going to change his outlook from "awesome" to "abnormal, isolated, and alone?" Quote
