I used to be sad I didn't have any Christmas parties to go to. Then I realized it was because no one was having any. So then I started hosting them and here we are years later with a new tradition.

I like Christmas- I don't like the media shoving it down our throats so early. And hello- not everyone celebrates Christmas so it must be even more annoying for those people.

Dances were really nothing that magical. Maybe in middle school they were cus it was a chance to be free of parental supervision and be silly with friends. But in high school... eh. Nothing special. It's not like Footloose where everyone is so psyched to be alive that they start breakdancing and haphazardly throw glitter in the air. It's really a lot of standing around talking and maybe dancing to one or two songs when people can get over themselves enough to just have fun.

JimmyB- stop worrying about what you're missing (girls, dances, etc.) and as Irish said- carpe diem!

Haha, Footloose is a great example of what high school dances AREN'T. It's a great movie, but not realistic at all. Nice one, NeverTrustAJunkie!

Jeez, am I the only one around here who loves Christmas?

I fucking love christmas.

Drinking warm beverage, playing in the snow, GETTING PRESENTS, GIVING PRESENTS, heck yes.

I like Christmas, the giving and recieving gifts, how it seems people are a little bit kinder this time of year,etc. I just wish I had a bigger family. I am an only child, my parents are divorced, do not know my dad's side of the family, so yeah. Christmas is not really a time of coming together for me.

Movies have ruined us all. If we're not having Footloose high school dances, Sixteen Candles first kisses, and a picture perfect family Christmas with hot chocolate, ice skating and Dad playing Santa, then we all think we're failing.

Why don't you get your friends together for a holiday party/dinner/outing? Make the most of your situation instead of focusing on what you don't have (again)

Mate, I've been reading your posts, and I've got no beef with you but fuck you bring me down. I suggest you take NeverTrustAJunkie's advice and also remember that no matter how bad you've got it, somebody out there has it worse off.

Dude, people have tried telling him, you learn to just ignore it. Hopefully one day he'll get it.

We don't have snow!!! See, apart from the huge amount of food consumed christmas is really nothing special! But I am spendind ny eve with my friends so YAY

The way I look at it is, no matter what your situation, you can have a great holiday season if you make it great. Even if you don't have family around, you can throw a party for your friends or neighbors, because chances are some of them are alone too. Also, a lot of towns have holiday parades or tree lighting ceremonies, and churches have Christmas Eve and/or Christmas Day services, which in my personal opinion is the best way to get into the Christmas spirit, by remembering the reason we have the holiday in the first place (not trying to be preachy at all, just mentioning it because it's important to me). Giving to those in need is another nice way to celebrate. The Marines sponsor Toys for Tots, lots of fire stations, police departments, and stores do toy and clothing drives, there's the Angel Tree, and of course donating your time in soup kitchens or shelters. The Christmas spirit is all around if you just look, whether you are surrounded by family or are alone, have a ton of money or are flat broke. If your heart is in the right place, that's all that matters.

Okay, I'm done, I get kind of carried away with everything related to Christmas. It's a BIG deal in my family! But even if I was all alone in the world, you better believe that I would be celebrating anyway.

Ahahaha no but really I have nothing against Christmas, it just makes me feel all sad and nostalgic for some reason!

This is an outrage! So many great posts gone. The corgis will be missed, and we will never be able to relive the imaginary Benny v. Bieber fight again. So very, very sad. Let's have a moment of silence to mourn the loss of the spam posts, then we'll riot!

Someone should check up on Harbortown. He may be having a stroke.

I just saw that the first 50 pages of the Spam thread are locked but are still in the General Chat & Discussion section, several topics down. Whew!
