Ok weird, random statement about hating everyone.... ok ok lol what's wrong, what's happened?

Agent Smith

christmas depresses me

Chick

Pourquoi?

Agent Smith

i have no idea what that means,


christmas bothers me because people put this big stigma on why you should "love your fellow man",

should we not be doing this all the time?

thats actually really true, people get all sentimental and are really nice to you, when they arent at all for the rest of the year....the fakeness of it all seriously annoys me
(im not saying genuine friendliness is bad, just the the fake kind especially for xmas )

snorlax

what horrible is just after christmas when everyone is really glum etc. i think christmas offers people hope, or maybe a temporary respite from their lives (especially if they dont particularly like their jobs/ etc). its an excuse for people to let their hair down, drink and eat without feeling guilty for over-indulging.
i wish christmas was permanant-eg people would constantly be in good moods, smiling and appreciating others, rather then just for 2weeks of the year.

Chick

wishful thinking... :rolleyes:

ApeXaviour

It'd lose it's appeal very quickly then.

I dunno bout ye but before and up to christmas I find to be stressful. Aye it's fun n all but tbh I don't think most of us are used to being this close to our familys (whilst hungover too). Personally the best time is just after christmas contrary to what snorlax says.
Why?
It's like a giant wave of relief after the stress of shopping, fraid family nerves, decorating, cleaning, cooking, sending cards etc. etc..
All you have to do for the next few days is relax, watch telly, play with your prezzies, eat turkey&stuffing sandwiches, drink beer and wait for the big new years party

Right after crimbo truly is my favourite time..

Pet

decorating, cleaning, cooking, sending cards etc. etc..

All of which I did singlehandedly this year, heh. Ah well, there was plenty of mulled wine so I was okay..

Chick

I've never tasted mulled wine am I missing anything?

ApeXaviour

Yes.. It's delicious, and it tastes like christmas!

Kevin_rc_ie

hey pet did you actually cook the whole christmas dinner in your gaf. i reckon i could do it, but i know i def wouldn't. how did it go?

Pet

I've never tasted mulled wine am I missing anything?

Imagine Christmas in an alcoholic drink, mmm. Lots of cinnamon and cloves and such, it's yummy.

hey pet did you actually cook the whole christmas dinner in your gaf. i reckon i could do it, but i know i def wouldn't. how did it go?

Yep, it went surprisingly well actually! I was wrecked after it though..

Chick

fair play to you pet, cooking the dinner and all. I'd find a way to screw it up, best to leave it to the rents

not really a fan of cinnamon, dont think id like it so

John

chick, I don't like cinnamon either but mulled wine is really nice

Chick

cloves are gross too though.... really really dont think id like it

ApeXaviour

You don't eat the cloves themselves dumdum..

Basically we're saying don't knock it til you've tried it..

John

it doesn't taste like any of the ingredients, it's wonderful

Chick

Ok fair enough, my parents r bound to have some knocking round the house so I'll give it it a shot.

Then again its probably all guzzled by now the amount of relatives coming and going around here its like bloody heuston :rolleyes:

Chick

Eh Apex, what's the Jackanory with editing my smilies...?

Pet, fair play like, all of our bottles are still there... Whats the point in going to the bottle bank sure theyre all gonna pile up over new years again. another truck load of relatives i suppose :rolleyes:

ApeXaviour

Nietzschean
