So i thought it might be a good idea to put this here to allow the folks who are having xmas and would like to moan about eating too much, family or the guaranteed socks gift can put them in here and then carry on with the rest of the year. i.e. what is said in TBACDT stays in TBACDT.

N.B. If you wish to moan legitimately about stuff I promise that is ok - as anyone who posts in here you agree to let these posts be treated with respect, and not taken the mickey out of.

Merry Xmas and a happy solstice to you all.

e: i realise this is rather late given that the forums have been down but guess we can use it for those drunk ramblings instead!

DAMN YOU CAPITALISM

We celebrate on Christmas Eve and all went fine - can't complain about Christmas Day - Got to Sleep in.

until five minutes ago, the only gift i had today was socks.
food was good though - but it was me doing the cooking!

Fuk you corruption, i hope santa kill em all

I always find myself cringing when I meet up when my parents/grandparents and they start having some political or religious discussion after the meal, you hear some things which just are absolutely untrue, but it's just not worth interjecting, hehe, makes me smile anyway

Since my girlfriend's family loves me, and my family is so generous, I managed to finish the day with an Elgato Game Capture HD, a tea set, and 6 oz. of my favorite loose leaf tea. Plus a dinner from each family. It's been quite a surprising Christmas. With my capture card, I can now follow my dream of livestreaming Super Mario World speedruns (only half joking) and various console-only titles.

Oh yeah, I'm supposed to be bitching. Fuck you, dinners! I hated having that succulent honey ham and that tender and juicy prime rib! Just think of how much weight I'll put on! I'll be so fat, I'll care as little about how fat I am as I do now!

No problems with gifts, got a nice Fallout New Vegas Ultimate Edition for X360 thanks to myself.
And some Secret Santa.
No, i don't celebrate it anymore.
A funny story: at 14 i was in confirmation classes.
There the priest asked us what we thought about the coming Christmas.
I was the only one who didn't tried some bullshit about peace on earth and told him it was about
getting gifts or better money (bullshit, cause i know the others thought the same but were to afraid to say it).
And thats all about Christmas...money.

Bought my daughter gifts ( talking sofia doll, ipod touch, other random shit), Bought my wife a new necklace and a purse.

Gets: a new pair of jeans, a pack of boxers, and some magic cards from the dollar tree ( you know the packs that have no set and have a random uncommon or sometimes a rare).


Being a father for christmas sucks sometimes



(on a side note i did buy myself witcher 2 and starbound)

I actually wanted socks this year and I didn't get any. Now I need to buy my own like some kind of barbarian.

Felt full half way through dinner and felt too bloated to eat anything else all day for some reason, I don't eat much chocolate during the year so Christmas is chocolate day and I haven't even felt like eating any.

massaging peoples egos is bullshit as well as celebrating cause there are kids around

I have nothing to complain about, except getting up early. Staying with family and the dogs wake up and start barking as soon as the owner's foot gets out of bed around 5am. Hard to go back to sleep after five minutes of barking from three dogs.

We all decided no diets and can eat anything we want for this week. So, Pizza for Christmas Eve and then overate Christmas dinner with two helpings even though I was full after the first. Loads of cookies, chocolate, crackers and cheese (pimento cheese spread is awesome by the way), and sodas which I rarely drink any more.
I imagine my caloric intake had to be around 6000 calories and I don't even wanna guesstimate on the Fat content.

Presents never bother me, because I usually buy myself everything I want before Christmas, so I expect baked goods, Calendars, and gift cards.

Oh, no baked goods this year except for the ones we ate. No cranberry bread....and I will miss that this year (too lazy to make it myself).

Well I got no presents and was robbed by my family

Hugs for you Kills.

:) Thank you
