oh look it's time for the most commercialized holiday of the year. it looks like the city is getting ready to celebrate too. Yay. Exciting. :|

I don't suppose anyone is NOT celebrating Christmas and would like a pizza party instead? At home, we have pizza (because all the restaurants close on us) and I was thinking it would be nice to just hang out and pretend Christmas doesn't exist.

Invites go to anyone who says bah humbug.

Well I don't celebrate it personally, but it only seems appropriate to get gifts for those that do. No other plans currently, and that's not terribly likely to change. I hope your own party is enjoyable.

that kind of counts. we don't really do that. we just order in at home.

as for presents, we do secret santa.

I suppose there's no escaping it altogether. Without all the fuss, the season itself can be nice, at least.

[bindsthedead]

You mean some people from worlds like this don't celebrate it?

Although I don't understand what humbugs have to do with anything.

[bestversion]

I practice a different religion. One with less presents and advertisements.

it's a saying. BAH I DISLIKE THE THING.

bah humbug!

sort of!

i usually celebrate christmas, but the idea of celebrating without my dad seems really weird so
pizza could be cool

[bestversion]

yeah, not having family around takes a while to get used to.

sometimes, i'm still not used to it. I keep expecting my parents to call me on my cell and ground me.

What's so bad about Christmas? And I promise, I'm not going to try to talk you into reconsidering.

Re: text;

[bestversion]

it's not . . . because it's bad but it's everywhere. And for people who don't celebrate it, it's kind of like "here have this stuff you can't enjoy or do anything with".

p. much. it's a big holiday and everyone wants to go home. not that I blame them.

I'm basically a kid at heart, so I admit that I partake in the food/lights/presents without any appreciation for, or observance of, the religious aspect of the holiday.

Flying caribou with genetic anomaly noses are way more interesting than a kid in a stable anyway.

you're taking about reindeer right? and not some genetic experiment gone wrong? because that happens a lot.

Re: text

the ones in jersey city don't. and I never said it didn't anything, just that it's overhyped.

[enucleation]

Why do you feel Christmas is bad?

Re: [ text ]

[bestversion]

I didn't say that! I said it's overcommercialized.

Besides, not everyone celebrates it, you know.

[incogneto]

Sure, bah humbug. Let me know if you need me to bring anything.

the best thing about christmas is the junk food. everything else where I'm from? it's lover's dating day.

would it be weird to get a friend a gift and screw the rest of it?

Re: text

[bestversion]

another reason not to like christmas

no, I don't think so. if it's what you want to do, you should.

[timeframes]

yeah christmas is the biggest jewel in the crown of american consumerism
nothing can topple that empire of shopping lust and emotional manipulation
because hey how else can you prove you feel things for your mom other than buying her useless cooking junk or enough bubblebath to drown a pony
seriously the holiday was created out of nothing to sell cards and tickets to love actually

fight the man and include nachos at the party too

[bestversion]

wow you're pretty mad. bad christmas time?

not everyone does. I don't hate it but it bugs me when this time of year comes around and you can't really take part.
