The Christmas thread 2006 of... christmas

[AndersM]

Just got this message when I launched AGS...Ã,  The sad thing is that AGS is completly right: I shouldn't be sitting here on christmas day, but it's only been the 25.th for 30 minutes here, and in Sweden the gifts are given on Christmas eve, and my family are asleep, and my GF is in another country, so I guess I'm not that nerdy... or?

Merry christmas to those who aren't as bitter as I am concerning this holiday.

*grumbles*

I used to be bitter. I used to loathe and despise the holiday. And then I refused it all and spent a couple of years without buying gifts, without stressing out, and now I have come to peace with the whole shenanigan; christmas is about meeting your family and loved ones, eating lots and lots of delicious food and debating the state of the nation whilst consuming alcohol. I even bought my closest family gifts this year. Books again. I like giving books. And receiving them. But gifts are truly as a throrough beating -  more fun to give than to receive. So a Very Merry Christmas to you all, and remember. Just another week until a new year come a-knocking and another chance to consume dangerous amounts of alcohol, but this time with friends rather than family. Personally, I'll try to spend that weekend in the slopes with sleds, drinks, and the occasional grilled hot dog...

..if only it would snow..  :'(
