-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Apparently so. Although those times are spoken of in hushed tones, by people who want to believe in a better world.

Yeas: his point is that CHristmas has become a strictly merchandising holiday because we all fw=eel obligated to buy presents for family, loved ones and friends.
I blame central heating.
No chimney means no Santa bringing presents -so what happens? WE have to assume our relations have been good, deserve gifts and take up the slack while Santa fucks off to the bahamas or wherever with proceeds from his endorsment deals.
Just as well really, you think Roudlph or the other reindeer are still alive? Not the way some Flarites drive....

I think Santa borrowed Federation runabout with a transporter unit installed.

Here, it would be on December 8th, they day of Mary's Immaculate Conception of Jesus. Damn Catholics staining Christmas.
And the tree last until January 6, the day the Wise Men come. A very Latin-American tradition, that one. Bah, at least the kids get presents two times in 10 days. Or three, like I did, because my birthday is three days after that.

It's my formula for Zero-Point Sushi. Sure to become holiday favorite.
In holiday news, I saw the first of the bottled Egg Nog at 7-11 last night and decided to give it a try.....untill I read it's label that listed the calories per serving at 230. The pint-bottle was 4 servings! I felt my arteries clogging just holding the thing.

Don't think! Feeyul! It is like a turnip, pointing at the moon! *smacks Sol's inner thigh* Don't concentrate on the moon or you will miss all that heavenly turnip.

Taking down your decorations on the 6th is the norm over here, too.

It's odd how many people think that. Even Catholics. I mean, if they're going to claim to believe something, they could at least read up on it first, eh?
