[cracked-butt]

the only reason i celebrate christmas is for my 2 y/o daughter.
other wise it's a waste of time to me. i'm not a "christian" in any sence of the work. my other half does believe , but we have a wonderful understanding of things.
am i a humbug durin most holidays? yup. i just can't stand them, lik eyou said everything is closed during this day, open only half a day the day before & etc., etc.

we didn't spend any money on each other this year, it was all spent on our daughter. if it wasn't for just moving into our new place, some (usable & needed) jeep parts woulda been nice.

with all that said.....

HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

i know what the "worthless" part is about, when yer used to makin over that per paycheck (mine was per week), any thing less is barely worth takin to the bank to cash.

but alas at this point in time i'm on U.C. so that "worthless paycheck" would be a blessing to me!

no I didn't explain well enough. I was issued a computer-printed pay check which was post dated for 12/25/09. I was issued it on the 24th...and had been told more than a month prior that I would have my check the thursday before holiday. So, I had a post-dated, out-of-state check (our main office is in IL, I live in WI) that was absolutely worthless to me until today.

in case you didn't know, it's illegal to issue a post-dated pay check, and it is illegal to issue a check dated on a holiday.

I was counting on that money for xmas stuff...and friggin lunch on thursday. didn't eat lunch, went two days without cigarettes (bad habit, but I smoke 3/4 pack a day so two days without had me all sorts of pissed off).

that, and I make 1200 after taxes normally...I got shorted hours because a job got cancelled. typically, it's a 60-80 hour work week for me...

Bare with me I'm a little slow at times, to many explosions.

If you don't like christmas, why do anything that day? Don't hang out with your annoying mom, don't buy any presents for people and don't accept any. Just ignore other people and their happiness, and you can just wallow in self pity. Don't post on some internet forum about how much you hate christmas, just so you can get all this attention. Don't eat all that good honey glazed ham or turkey. No pumpkin pie, no candied yams nothing for you, just sit in your little box and suck.

I mean seriously, if you hated christmas as much as you profess you would have nothing to do with the holiday, religious or not. But you show up at your families dinner, eat the good food and bask in their happiness. I think you're full of it, you just want attention, poor baby boy.

post dated checks aren't illegal, just don't expect banks to pay attention to them.

I doubt the second claim as well.

If you ask me, you're all missing the true meaning of Christmas - carpentry.
You're supposed to celebrate the birth of a kick-ass carpenter that refused to die for what he loved, and you're supposed to cut down a tree to build something nice for a loved one of your very own. I'm using my Christmas tree to make a seal club, a pegleg or possibly a fancy lad footstool.

So, in conclusion, people who hate Christmas hate carpentry.... just like the furnitureless, cave-dwelling terrorists our troops have sacrificed so much to fight.

yeah got that. as i said "when yer used to makin over that per paycheck".
believe me i know, goin from about $15/hr for 50 + hrs a week to $9/hr @ 40 hrs per week realy does blow monkey nuts.
and yes when i did carpentry there was plenty of times work got "lost" due to canceled jobs.

 

[Boatwrench]

Awwww....c'mon Dad, don't spoil the fun....

And yes, we should move Xmas to September - if you want to be historically correct. With or without the 4th wise man and the slaughter of millions of innocent trees! Take that hippies!

Was Jesus really born in September? That's great maybe we share a Birthday!

Classic, the best post I have read in a very long time. Thank you.

was tax time in september back then? it's been a while since i've read up on it. lol







p.s. other than the bible there is no actual proof of his existance just a lil food for thought.
not saying that he didnt exist, just that there is no other proof.

 

[D.I.T.A]

I cannot prove nor deny the existance of Jesus. something bigger is out there...so I live my life with good morals and general common sense knowing I'll die someday and find out. until then, there's no sense making my mind up about something of which I have no scientific proof.

:thumbup:same here

And as for Christmas i like the spirit of Christmas but i hate how people kill each other for gifts, it comes earlier and earlier each year to remind people to go nuts and buy gifts. getting together and seeing the family good enough for me

no joke there. they start right around halloween now, skip thanksgiving all together!

D.I.T.A. gotta agree with ya totaly on just gettin together with the family is good with me too. the rest of the "holiday season" is all geared for the industries to take your very hard earned cash from you, and for what? stuff that will more than likely get stuffed in the back of a closet?

 

[Darky]

show me proof that what we're supposed to be celebrating is real, then maybe I'll join in.

here.

as for the picture of the bible, you can't prove through solid facts that any information contained in it actually occured...you can choose to believe it did, but you cannot prove it.

Showing someone who doesn't believe the Bible isn't proving anything. Surely you can do better, especially when there is a large amount of proof for the Bible's accuracy historically speaking.The historical events all did occur, there's been much proof found to support that.

Jesus led one of the most documented lives in history. If I recall correctly, His life has more supporting documentation than any other person to have ever lived. This is counting historical texts, not just the Bible. There is no disputing His existence, since His existence is indisputable, you can only dispute who He was: Lord, liar, or lunatic.

let's put it this way...I ignore any "happy b-day", "merry xmas", "happy easter" BS...it's all a waste of time and a show of bravado.


these holidays are all just reasons to get things or give things....I don't see a reason to be greedy and ask anyone to give me anything, and I also don't see a reason for them to expect me to give them something. it's about earning what you have...I've earned what I have, and I'm not about to give someone who doesn't even have a job a gift for no apparent reason, when she goes out and blows everyone else's money anyways.

Show of bravado? I do not think that word means what you think it means.
As far as the gift giving of the holidays, you could always do like our family does and just get together as a family. My wife's family doesn't believe in giving gifts at Christmas (or birthdays if I remember right). As they have money to or feel the urge to, they'll buy gifts for people throughout the year. When the holidays come around, we just get together and have a big dinner and spend time together.

Wonder if this guy has ever been laid.

I'd guess some guy somewhere probably stuck it in this guy's earhole at some point...

I don't like the commercialism of the season. I do enjoy having a good excuse to see family & outlaws (ex-inlaws) that I don't see as often as I'd like. And the occasional friends that come into town over the holidays.

This year was a treat for me because my ex- Jim has a new gf who is actually fine with Jim & me being friends, and all of us being together with his family and our 3 teen kids. Twice, even! (the 24th at his mom's & 26th at his dad's).

His previous psycho-biyatch gf (for over 3 years!) could not tolerate my existence or the mention of me, so I usually let Jim hang out with the kids & her on most holidays. I spent those days with friends or with my dad & his wife sharing a tiny turkey or ham if they weren't out of town for the holidays themselves.

So even though I don't often feel a lot of Christmas spirit (crowds, traffic, and me-ism), this year made me happy arty:.

And here's to a very Happy New Years to us all, whenever we celebrate it and for whatever reason!! I think I'll have Chinese food for Valentine's Day in 2010, since that's Chinese New Year this year... yum!!

Tennessee has some good Chinese food.
