I will not donate them, because that would be an insult to the misjudged people who bought them for me. Scania is Sweden's southernmost province. It's so way south, it's like Denmark. I hate Denmark. Therefore I hate Scania. And I also hate the aunt at whose house we stayed. And her #¤&%¤#%& dog. |

I see. You make "misjudged" almost sound like an insult. Is that your meaning here? I've never been upset at anyone for getting me a present I didn't like. That's why I ask. Why is that?

I repeatedly state at everyone that I am Atheist. Despite what some idiots say, Atheists know morals very well, and I find it morally incorrect for me to celebrate Christmas, given that neither Christmas, Hanukkah, Yule or anything else applies to my faith. I was forced to come along because my family said so. I did not wish to celebrate Christmas at all. I just had to. As for Denmark, go to Denmark and you'll realize what a dull place it is. |

Given the fact you're an atheist I agree that you should not be forced to celebrate Christmas. I sympathize with you Kex and I'm sorry that this has made you unhappy. What can I say? I had to do things(and go places) all the time that my parents wanted me to do that I didn't want to do. Looking back I still think my parents were wrong for some of the things they compelled me to do-others I can see now their logic. How do your parents feel about you being an atheist? I'll take your word for it. :) |

Apart from my frequent refusal to take part in many traditions, they're perfectly fine with it. They don't approve of my frequent (though not illegal, that's evil) abuse of children on Easter or Halloween, however. |

Abuse of children? Tell me you're kidding...or that you're just referring to some kind of taunting aimed at the little ones? You are, right? |

The word "abuse" can be stretched, obviously. I don't mutilate them or something. I do yell at them and on occasion, when I'm really annoyed, threaten them, but I can't resort to violence against tiny kids. That's just unfair. |

Kex, if you can't bring yourself to harm a kid, then why threaten them? I'm not trying to be an ass here or in any way be judgmental towards you-considering some of the things I've done in life(nothing criminal) I'm in no position to judge anybody. I am curious as to the circumstances in which you engage in this behavior towards kids. If you're not interested in answering I'd understand. :) |

I'm assuming the possibility of a parent(or parents) of one of these kids you holler at looking for you, perhaps to do a bit of yelling of their own, is low here...?

Obviously. If they catch me, I explain to these parents quite calmly what I dislike about their children. If that upsets them, it's not my problem. |

Where exactly do all of these young children annoy you? At school? Or someplace else? I used to coach little league basketball and football at a church I used to be a member of(from 1988-1990). I never had to yell at any of the 6-7 year old boys I coached. I even told the parents I wasn't a "screamer". I didn't have to yell to get a players attention. All I had to do was cross my arms and stare. That was always enough to put an end to any misbehavior that was going on, usually just these young lads wanting to "rough house" with each other when we were supposed to be practicing for the game. I've been told that, even now, I still have a menacing glare, when I squint my eyes. :ph43r: |

After a 6 day work stint, I'll be tearing down the Christmas tree and decorations on Tuesday when I'm off. It was, as always, a wonderful Christmas, and my thanks and well wishes go out to my family and each of yours at the conclusion of this Holiday season. Happy New Year! |

Now that the Christmas tree in Rockefeller Plaza is being set up I figured now is the time to resurrect this thread! A couple of points I wanted to bring up: Halloween came and went so fast this year. Thanksgiving is around the corner and my girlfriend is having us host dinner at our house <sigh>...again. With the economy in a tailspin this year's shopping season is expected to be very slow. I won't be buying much for anyone this year. I'll be putting up my Christmas decorations on or around December 1st. Happy Holidays, all y'all! |

My usual tradition is to watch Die Hard, but I think I should give it a break this time. Don't want to over-watch that one. It seems like our house is usually chosen as the focal point for Christmas. |

I put my two artificial Christmas trees up last night. One is a five foot tree with white(only) lights. The other, and in another part of my main living room area, is about three feet tall and has blinking lights. These trees always cheer me up. I need it because Christmas is no longer a time of year I am enamored with overall.

^Christmas will never be as fun as it was when we were children. But still, despite the stress of holiday shopping it still is a nice time of year. I enjoy Christmas lights and decorations, Rudolph, A Christmas Story, pumpkin pie, A Charlie Brown Christmas, falling snow, Frosty, and Perry Como! |

Rather than start a "Gifts I got for Christmas" thread I figured I'd post my 2008 Christmas haul in this topic. What I got: -a honey baked ham -a new 24" stereo tube(standard def) TV for my back office room(for playing DVDs) -$150 cash -an LL Bean short sleeve cotton shirt, "herb green" in color, and two pairs of LL Bean wool socks -a blue insulated sweat shirt -a pint bottle of "Makers Mark" whiskey -several nice Christmas cards Anyone else care to post what they received for Christmas by way of gifts?

Priest 'ruins Christmas' for kids A Catholic priest has been criticised by parents in a city in northern Italy for telling their children that Father Christmas does not really exist. Father Dino Bottino, the parish priest of the Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Novara, let out the secret at a children's mass earlier this month. A local paper published complaints from dozens of parents. "You've ruined my children's Christmas," said one mother. But an unrepentant Fr Bottino called it his duty to set the record straight. "I told the children that Father Christmas was an invention that had nothing to do with the Christian Christmas story," he said. "And I would repeat it again, if I had the chance," he added. But Father Dino could not have imagined the scorn that would be heaped upon him after he told children at mass that neither Father Christmas - nor the kindly witch called the Befana who provides presents at New Year to Italian children - really exist. The priest said he had never intended to hurt anyone, but it was his duty to distinguish the reality of Jesus from the story of Father Christmas which was a fable just like Cinderella or Snow White. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7798480.stm |
