Grinch thread

so let me get this straight, you are mad that stores which you can purchase goods and services are closed in observance of a holiday, and yet you are complaining about the over materialistic nature of the same holiday?


Got it. =P

I fucking love it. My family is bad ass and I love buying them shit and getting to eat with them. Sorry your life sucks.

Well said, Jedi. I agree!

Christmas comes from the heart , not the stores.

Sorry to hear you don't find anything enjoyable about the season.

Thanksgiving and Christmas always has and always will be a very special time for me.

I don't believe in spending a wad of cash on stuff that people don't give 2 shits about come new years. I buy a few select items that my parents and girlfriend can enjoy and use. Late last night my girlfriend started crying because this is her first Christmas away from any kind of family and, for once I had to not be an asshole. You still have your mom around, you should be thankful for things you may be taking for granted.

Jedi, you should try celebrating Festivus next year. I think you and your family would probably enjoy the change.

i am only 25 but like others have said i can see the difference between christmas time now and say 10 years ago. of course i know i was only 15 but i still had eyes and saw how shit was. growing up pretty much poor i never got huge lavish gifts, but that never bothered me because i was just happy on getting whatever i got. to be honest i had more fun just hanging out with the family all day without anyone having to go to work or school, it was a day where we just hung out all day and i loved it

i used to look forward to thanksgiving and christmas because i had so much fun just hanging out with family. now i still enjoy thanksgiving but pretty much get like jedi when it comes to christmas, and that is due to everyone worrying about buying and receiving gifts

It's all about family for me. My house is full of my family and all our dogs. First Xmas for my first grand-daughter was here at my house this morning. I'll never forget it.

Without family or a "reason for the season", I would be a prick like Jedi.

I enjoy being with friends and family. I don't enjoy the let's all hand each other a $50 bill

It's not about the gifts for us, either. My family and friends are enough. I have everything I "need", and if I really "want" something, I'll buy it myself.

Werd. I also love Thanksgiving and hate Christmas. All the parties and seeing friends is nice though.
