I'm going to post the Christmas Cracker jokes and make you lot never want to open a cracker.

Anyway I don't like snow that much. I don't like the cold and I hate the sound of walking through it, It drives me nuts. I do like chucking Snowballs at people however. Snowball fights are just so much fun.

T-nex 12-18-2011 01:51 AM

Christmas is my favorite time of year. As well as Winter. Snow speaks to my soul like nothing else does. It always calms me down and fills me with child-like joy. And I love the atmosphere around christmas, and watching christmas movies and sipping hot chocolate :)

Also I love opening and giving presents. All this has nothing to do with christmas. Everyone just seems more joyful around christmas.


Unfortunately I look outside and it's friggin sunny x_x

My parents have said they'll get me a new computer in the near future for Christmas. I'm completely fucking ecstatic about this because my current Windows computer is 10 years old. It's amazing given that its still reasonably fast, but I need an upgrade. I've been surviving due to the old Macbook we get through school, which is enough to run Super Meat Boy and Quake 3. Once I get my new rig I'll be looking into some stupidly expensive Razer peripherals.

My parents don't seem to be happy with just getting me a computer, because they want something physical to give me Christmas day. They want to give me something I want, too. Not just something for the sake of giving me something. I now need to convince myself I need something so that I can tell my parents I want it.

I may actually have to decline the computer when the time comes because I need to make a few trips interstate next year for flute-related things.

I think you'll find that's the best christmas song ever.

Agreed!

It annoys me a little when people moan about how much they hate snow (unless they drive, and/or the snow will affect them in a negative way such as not being able to get somewhere). It's pretty, it's fun to walk through on a Winter night, and when it falls it looks amazing. But... when it starts to disappear it's so ugly and slushy. Bleh.

I love the days how you would wake up on a school day and found everything white with snow. And knowing you where going to have a day off. One time I had a whole week off because the school had to close every day because of the snow.

:D

Jordan 12-18-2011 03:31 AM

Yeah, I know what you mean. In the morning before school I'd sit next to the radio or scower the radio website for signs that my school would be off. Unfortunately my head teacher is an absolute arse when it comes to snow, and will only close the school when people are on the brink of death. I understand that he's dedicated to the school, but at a young age all kids wanted to do was skip school and play in the snow.

I figured that this was a good idea.

Christmas is unreal good. Gifts, food, six millions tins of Quality streets? What's not to like? I find it hard to believe that people can't feel Christmassy seeing as Christmas cheer is one of the most infectious feelings ever. I buzz off other people getting excited for the big day. But there's only one thing I look forward to on Christmas; Eating so damn much that I have to lay down for three days to wait for it all to digest.

Jordan 12-18-2011 04:08 AM

Quality Streets aren't that great. They're only really good for green triangles, and three people in my household go mad for them... Heroes ftw!

Yes my head teacher was like Gaddafi. He would pontless make us go to school but then a hour later. He said we can go home. That was fine by me because I only was 1 mile away form my house. But others where not so lucky.

Go home and GAME TO THE MAX! :D (And play in the snow)

You're gonna like Christmas a lot more when it's the only time you're off-duty, Dix.

Hopefully the tinned food they give me will be more adequate than the shit I eat anyway.

BoneyHead95 12-18-2011 07:17 AM

I think everyone going to enjoy this christmas! :D

This is the first time ever in my life that I hate Christmas.

Just haven't really got anything special to look forward to and don't feel any excitement, plus I've had to spend money and wrap presents which drives me insane!

Another problem, my mum likes to have the radio on when she's in the kitchen, oh how I hate walking into the kitchen and hearing the same christmas songs that are overplayed on the radio every damn year!

I'm a Scrooge this year, I really really really hate christmas and can't wait for it to be over!

On the plus side, I'm single in time for another Christmas which is great because thats one less person to buy presents for :D

People in our families send each other families and neighbours tins of quality streets as Christmas presents. It's a really shit surprise whenever you come down to 100's of hexagon shaped packages for the next week.

Crashpunk 12-18-2011 03:20 PM

I love Quality Streets, The red ones are yummy :tard:

Wings of Fire 12-18-2011 03:23 PM

I love any kind of chocolate which has strawberry soft centres.

Crashpunk 12-18-2011 03:30 PM

Well yeah but I only really eat them sort of chocolates at christmas. Also anyone else made a pair of homemade 3D glasses with the Quality Streets wrappers?

MA 12-18-2011 04:30 PM

i don't see why some people are bawwing over Christmas and declaring their hate for it. yeah, Christmas is overly commercialised, but the giving is just as good as the receiving (GAY JOKE). personally, i enjoy giving gifts away more than receiving them. it's fucking great. listen to the same old songs on the radio, let the snow and ice piss you off, watch that fucking Coca Cola advert again, run around like a headless chicken getting people presents, it's all part of Christmas, no matter how much you may love or hate it. get into the Christmas spirit you miserable bastards.

YES

also, this:



fucking love that song.

Pilot 12-18-2011 05:42 PM

Even if you don't like Jimmy Kimmell, this is some funny shit. What happens when you give your kids fake joke presents.



This really gets me in the mood for some Christmas pranks.

I did when I was a child, it didn't work so well 'cause the paper was always too wrinkled. Those coloured wrappers do have a lot of good papercrafting uses though, when you're trying to entertain children by doing something creative with them.

Forgive me...

LDG519 12-18-2011 07:55 PM

I don't really care too much for christmas, I'll have about 10 minutes of enjoyment when opening the presents, and depending on what the presents are I'll have about an hour or two playing with them before we have to go out to some event were people will be singing those damn carols at a volume which hurts my ears, the whole place is usually crowded as hell and I'll be bumping into to people whenever I wan't to get sausage sandwich or can of coke, and to top it all off there's a church service on, and although I'm not religiouse (anymore) I still have to go because If I try to choose not to go I'll surly get an anoying lecture from my full on christian family about why I should go.

at least it's summer in australia:fuzcool:

Phylum 12-18-2011 08:47 PM

Damn right it's summer. Adelaide is forecast to be 36˚ on Christmas day. That's going to make the car trips between family gatherings fucking intolerable.

watch that fucking Coca Cola advert again,

Excuse me sir, I believe you’ll find that is the best fucking part of Christmas.

AlexFili 12-19-2011 12:37 AM

I like white chocolate the best. On another note, here's Dominick the Donkey!


just_an_(ODD)alisque 12-19-2011 02:23 AM

I,m not religios too but I like all hollydays and celebrations,especially when there are some interesting traditions about them.
But I hate it when people start decorating for Christmas at the 1st of December or even at the end of November.And all that christmas songs,movies,commercials are very veeery annoying.
And the presents...my B-day is on the next day so I get lots and lots of presents most of which I don't even use...

T-nex 12-19-2011 04:45 AM

I like decorating for Christmas on 1st of December.

Dixanadu 12-19-2011 05:08 AM

We do not decorate.

Because it'll have to be taken down anyway, so...there's not much point.

T-nex 12-19-2011 05:17 AM

I usually leave Christmas decoration till like Easter.

This is exactly the logic I use to get out of cleaning my room and washing dishes.

Wings of Fire 12-19-2011 08:27 AM

That's exactly the excuse I use to get out of living.

MA 12-19-2011 10:27 AM

we haven't bothered with ceiling decorations this year, but there's plenty of tinsel and lights and shit. also a tree, of course.

i'm more relaxed now that i know i've gotten all of my Christmas shopping done. time to smoke a cigarette and say "fuck yeah".

Well then. Why don't you make like a banana, and DECORATE.

I can't talk, I don't have a single christmas decoration up at all, and I sold my faux aluminum christmas tree earlier this year.

MA 12-19-2011 10:50 AM

NO

I'LL MAKE LIKE A TREE AND NOT DECORATE

TIME TRAVELER

Sekto Springs 12-19-2011 11:26 AM

This was the first year I assembled and decorated the tree entirely by myself. It felt kind of weird, but the end result was quite lovely. I usually put up one large tree, and several mini trees throughout the rooms.

In my room I have a completely black christmas tree with electric purple bulbs. It's pretty tits.

MeechMunchie 12-19-2011 12:16 PM

We have a lot of tat that we've sort of accumulated over the years.

BoneyHead95 12-19-2011 12:28 PM

I going to try and show my tree very soon.


(Don't know how because do you use a link from your PC pictures and then post them?)

Thanks
