Alright -- you know who you are!

Festivus? Diwali? Hannakuh? Nothing?

The Holidays Suck!

Spending countless hours with the In-laws
Fake Smiles from people that previously back stabbed you at work
Childish decorations up a month ahead of time
Having to pitch in to buy a gift for the vice president that almost cost your job
Participating in gift exchanges where you give a silly $10 gift and get a silly $10 gift
The Marketing department thinking Christmas is more important than me doing my work
Having to watch -her- dance at the Christmas party
And having to say she is a great dancer - with a smile
Having to see my two least liked colors splattered everywhere (green and red)
Getting a Christmas card from someone I dislike just because I sent them one last year
Gaining 20 pounds
And so on, and so on, and so on....

Prainha, SL -> Where Christmas is officially banned

I coined Jenniferica a few years back, since my RL B-day is two days after Christmas and gets eclipsed. Waah.
To properly celebrate, one must
  1. Worship me
  2. Give me all your money


Why it hasn't caught on I'll never know ;)

Hmm ... Here in Singapore, there are 4 main races mainly the Chinese, Indians, the Malays and the Erurasians

We share the holidays together and celebrate
  1. New Year's Day
  2. Chinese New Year
  3. Hari Raya Haji
  4. Good Friday
  5. Labour Day
  6. Vesak Day
  7. National Day
  8. Deepavali
  9. Hari Raya Puasa
  10. Christmas Day


I also celebrate "I'm so sick of it all and I just want to slack off and dont give a toot" day :D I look forward to it very much :)

Tito, I agree, holidays can suck sometimes when it all feels so fake. Wouldnt you rather just have the time off to do your own thing? I would :)

*chuckles at olympias comment* Are we going to see a televangelist on telley any time soon? As from the line from the exorcist ... The power from Church of Olympia compells you!!!!

If you think the drahma in these forums is intense, you haven't dealt with my brothers trying to figure out whose home is best to host the family xmas gathering.

Thank ghod for my SL family, cause I'm ready to kill my RL family... :p

Happy Holidays - may we all survive...

This, and the previous thread I ranted on about the holiday season make me think of the South Park tune...

From: someone
I heard there is no Christmas,
In the silly Middle East..
No Trees, no Snow, no Santa Claus,
They have Different Religious beliefs..
They Believe in Muhammad,
And not in our Holiday..
And so every December,
I go to the Middle East and say..

Hey there Mr Muslim, Merry F__king Christmas
Put down that book 'The Koran'
and hear some holiday wishes
Incase you haven't noticed,
it's Jesus's Birthday
So get off you heathen Muslim Ass
And f__king celebrate.

There is no holiday season in india,
i've heard..
They don't hang up their stockings,
and that is just absurd..
They've never read a Christmas Story,
They Don't know what Rudolph is about..
And that's why in December,
I'll go to india and shout..

Hey there Mr Hinduist, Merry F__king Christmas
Dring some 'nog, and eat some Beef
and pass it to the Missus
Incase you haven't noticed,
It's Jesus's Birthday
So get off your heathen hindu ass,
And f__king celebrate.

Now I heard that in Japan,
Everyone just lives in sin..
They pray to several gods,
And put needles in their skin..
On December twenty-fifth,
all they do is eat a cake..
and that is why i'll go to Japan,
and walk around and say..

Hey there Mr Shintoist, Merry F__king Christmas
God is gonna kick your ass You infidelic pagan scum.
Incase you haven't noticed,
There's festive things to do
So lets all rejoice for Jesus
and Merry F__king Christmas to you.

On Christmas Day, I travel round the world and say..
Taoists, Korishnas, Buddists
and all you atheists too..
Merry F__king Christmas to you.
Thank you, Mr Hat..

I'm curious - what was purchased and why did it almost cost you your job?

Hey now! No christmas in here damnit.

The christians get all the fun this time of year in NA.

This thread is for the non-christians.

Like Buddhists or something.

Any Hindus wanna shout out for Diwali or something?

Cheers.

And have a good "holiday" I guess.

Life Sucks!

(and to quote an old friend who isn't in SL any more -which sucks- "sucks and not in the good way";)

Lets celebrate that.

I worded it wrong... It was like having to buy a gift (having as required to pitch in) for a new VP who almost CAUSED our whole department to lose our jobs.

You know, one of those guys fresh out of college with an MBA, no experience but knows all the right key words and knows how to charm the CEO and fellow VPs.

He is gone now. The faster they rise, the harder they fall.

I'm a daoist. We don't have any winter holiday. :(

But we are not forbidden from celebrating any of them, as they are all no more arbitrary than anything else in life. :D
