I'll spray them with glitter if it makes them more festive

Niiiiiice!

The holidays always bring fond memories of dysfunctional family gatherings past.

What brings the holiday cheer better than inebriated relatives and passive aggressive barbs?

Queerasfck · 11-12-2009, 03:46 PM

Humbug....

suebee · 11-14-2009, 08:54 AM

Yanno, I was going to start a Christmas thread, and then I remembered that Medusa was here. Helloooooooo!

Good news for all urban-dwellers south of the border! (no, not the Mexican border silly! ) The christmas trees and wreaths are on their way soon! I see the trucks bringing them to the loading stations now every day!

Good news! Huh?

NJFemmie · 11-14-2009, 08:57 AM

We may be putting our Christmas tree up tomorrow ... only because Mare's work schedule is that pressed and we have a pre-holiday party we need to prep for. I don't think I have EVER had a tree up this early, but I am

excited about it!

Softly · 11-14-2009, 09:11 AM

I am SOOOOO looking forward to Christmas and Hanukkah this year!
We went to Dollar General and got a whole lot of stuff for our Christmas party we are having (an Ugly Christmas Sweater party)!!!!

Daddy says we have to wait until black Friday to put the tree up but I WANNA DO IT NOW!!! so excited. usually I am such a Grinch but this year is going to be perfect. I never celebrated Hanukkah so this will be my time to learn about that also!!!

Wickedsuzi · 11-14-2009, 09:24 AM

OMG you guys musta got this one

for Jack..... how cool is that??? I love them all! Oh yeah, and by the way, etc..... this is my favorite thread..... cause I'm a SERIOUS Christmas Ho..... totally CRAZED. When we lived in Redding {northern california} I put up so many lights that I blew EVERY breaker all down the street {ok ok maybe not THAT many but a LOT} and lit up the entire western hemisphere!!! My ex told me it looked like Santa's Sleigh had crashed into a Mexican restaurant!!!! I knew then, that I'd achieved the look I was going for SO THERE {snap to you ol meanie ex who was and still is a SCROOGE}

This year, in order that we might celebrate in true Over The Top Suzi Style.... we're gonna put up EVERY SINGLE Christmas tree we have. One in each room. Pics WILL be forthcoming but don't blame me if I burn your retinas out!!!

But this year, with the house coming together so nicely it seems almost a shame not have a tree. I'll have to struggle with that one a bit.

But the day after Christmas I know exactly what I'll be doing - I'll be looking for bargains at the annual Room & Board Clearance event.

In the mean time I'll get my holiday cheer on with bringing together the company party.

If you feel like packing light, shorts & t-shirt, come visit so cal, we have a great group here!

well I am not much of a christmas person though I will go out of my way to help my friends or family put up their cheery stuff... I just like to make people smile..and christmas makes a lot of people smile... usually by the end of the season I am

Puplove · 11-14-2009, 01:10 PM

I'm sending Medusa a christmas sweater with lots of sequins and holiday fuckery on it.

I started playing all chistmas music last week. Can't wait to get the tree up and outside lights up!

It's the most won-der-ful time of the year...

Medusa · 11-25-2009, 10:27 AM

No. Holiday. Sweaters.

And because I work with a bunch of nerdy folks who have a smmmaaalllll percentage of soccer-mom-techies mixed in, there will be a new rule.

NO. CHRISTMAS. SOCKS.

No socks with bells, glittery snowmen, or googly-eyed Santas. I feel like every time I see that shit peeking out from under a professional trouser that I have been flashed by a crotch with very active crabs. NO CHRISTMAS SOCKS!

In other news: I ordered a present for Jack from eBay and if she rips it open before I get home today Im going to kick her ass.

Diva · 11-25-2009, 10:33 AM

My students gave me musical Christmas socks one year. There was a glitch in our computer system that 6 weeks and they all failed. There was nothing I could do.

In brighter news.....the red and green rubbermaid containers are calling to me.......

NJFemmie · 11-25-2009, 11:33 AM

Well, the Christmas tree did not go up on the day we expected it to - but it will be up before Sunday. Mare decided She wanted to get a new tree, so ... a-shopping we will go.

MizzSabra · 11-25-2009, 11:59 AM

My holiday cheer consists of: A giant bottle of Patron and EggNog with SoCo. Oh and please suppy a straw.

Bit · 11-25-2009, 01:36 PM

Over the river and through the woods
To Grandmother's house we go!
The horse knows the way
To carry the sleigh
O'er the white and drifting snoo-ooow!

Over the river and through the woods
Oh, how the wind does blow!
It bites the nose and chills the toes
As over the ground we go!

*bounces in her chair* Tomorrow is the Big Day---lots of Autumn food, and me and my sweetie together all day!! *just beams*

Thanksgiving to me is a celebration of the harvest and of being rooted firmly in Autumn, in the turning tides of the Seasons. We eat foods that are native to this continent--turkey, sweet taters, white taters, cranberries, corn--in celebration of the bounty of the land and in memory of the First Farmers of the land. We celebrate our bond as a family, two-legged and four-footed. We share with those in need.

And THEN *heh heh heh* we start on December and the Winter holidays!!! *dances, beaming*

This is my time of year.

That is all.

I bought a small tree this year already. Yes, I like artificial ones. The lights are already on the tree. Clear ones. And the day after Thansgiving I will be avoiding even pulling my car out of the driveway during Black Friday and decorating my humble little tree.
