Chistmas has lost its excitment...

I already know about the 7.2 Q of hash i'm gonna get. I ordered a new bong yesterday, should be here before x-mas. I already have my 360. I'm gonna get even more money =] I can't wait to get so blazed on christmas day.

Maybe it's just because I moved away from home, but christmas still excites me. I don't look forward to getting anything anymore, but I look forward to eating dinner with my mom, dad and sisters as well as seeing everyone else (hopefully) enjoy the gifts they got. Just makes me feel relaxed and good. Even better than weed. Thats right, I'd give up my oz anyday to get to have a christmas with everyone.

Christmas is retarted
It comes every year whether you like it or not. It is full of obligation, lies and lame traditions. I told both of my daughters as soon as they could understand that there is NO Santa Claus and that parents all over the world lie to their kids and tell them that Santa is real.

The NEED to give meaningless gifts has gotten out of hand in Christendom. In the need to "keep up with the Joneses" and use a "boughten" gift to show duty, love and/or respect, you have forgotten the simple man who washed the feet of his disciples. Jesus was the humblest and "realest" of men. I would have enjoyed discussing philosophy with him. His path is not mine, but it can be a good and rightous path. In his memory, give a REAL gift, work in a homeless shelter, a soup kitchen (I'm sure there is a church doing Xmas dinners near you- they'd love another volunteer!). Give of your selves, not a gift from a store. Give an IOU of a service (upon demand) mowing the lawn, babysitting, getting prescriptions, etc to a family member (start with only a few - this CAN get overwhelming if done to excess). Christmas doesn't really have a darn thing to do with giving gifts- it has to do with renewing your spirit! May you be blessed! -Granny :stoned:

Storm Crow is absolutely right. The real magic happens when you do something for someone else- of course it sounds corny and all, but once you do it, you will realize the awesome power it has over the human spirit- theirs and yours -the crap you buy will never do that! I challenge anyone to go help someone else for a few hours or a few days and not feel great :) Give that present to yourself:noel:

Now Halloween is another matter- I have an annual Halloween party, my husband and I dress up and decorate the house all spooky-like, and we have about thirty people over, not too crazy, kids too, and we have tons of delicious food made by my chef husband, but later on after the kids go home, everyone gets high on wine or weed and sits in the hot tub till the wee hours acting silly. Never lose the bacchanal baby!:yippee: :dance:

Christmas is strictly for the kids in my family.

However, I do enjoy sitting around with my siblings, cousins,...etc and kicking back, talking smack, maybe play some cards. Spark a little something after the young ones have left or are sleeping.

We're able to find enjoyment in each other's company. For me thats what Christmas is about now.

Yes it's ususally full of obligation. The only problem is that nowadays, there isn't enough obligation out there. Everyone is allways ditching responsibilities and saying one thing and doing another. There was a time that someones word meant something to them, but not anymore. Everyone is allways out for ol' number one, fuck everyone else. I've allways liked christmas because it's ususally the only time of the year that greedy lazy bastards stop for two minutes to take care of someone else. I say if someone doesn't want to celebrate the holidays, then go serve in a soup kitchen, or a hospital or something. That way you can at least make someones day a little better and spread the cheer :madnoel:

only thing i look forward to is football, basketball, and gettin drunk as fuck, and gettin high as a kite, than eatin turkey..........and then opening a gift or 2.. I didn't even notice till like a week ago how close it was, usually i know, but this year feels kinda different...weird, and there's no fuckin snow yet in toronto......

Christmas puts something special in my heart that is not explainable... once I got past my youth it was time to feel joy in giving...

Merry Chrstmas all... now go hug someone that made your childhood special this time of year :areindeer: :areindeer: :areindeer:

i used to like x-mas as a kid cuz i loved to get gifts

as a teen and young adult i hated fuckin mas everyone was stupid and shit

as a man i love to see people smile when i buy em some dope ass gifts

I'm 24 and I still love xmas. When I was a kid, I used to get so excited I couldn't sleep. I get excited, but I sleep just fine now. I get more excited seeing my family than presents. I see them only once or twice a year, so when we get together, we have a good time.

We've never been about big, expensive gifts either. I wasn't raised to love someone who gives me expensive gifts.
