I'd tell you to stop, but I have some food around to eat if I really get hungry.

Yeah, I see some similarity.

I'm not really into the whole Christmas thing anymore. I'll buy presents for my family & friends, but when it comes to the actual day, I'll wake up & go around as if it's just another normal day. In my house we don't put up a tree either. But we do buy the food. You can't disagree with the food.

Christmas is tricky for me. Even when I still considered myself to be Christian, I never got it really. At least, not the way that it's portrayed. I just don't think that the birth of what many believe to be the Messiah should be a reason to go crazy over presents. I mean, you're supposed to be celebrating an event that happen in a stable, with no materialistic comforts, (no, I'm not suggesting that everyone go live in their backyards or find some random stable to stay in or anything like that on Christmas) and yet material things are practically symbolic of this time of year. But I believe that's been adressed a few times, I'm just ranting a bit. Sorry.

And, well, Christmas was my sister's favorite holiday. Not because of the gifts she got (although that was always a plus, heh), but because the whole family would get together and we'd see all of our cousins, and other relatives we don't normally see very often. She loved the decorations, everything just seemed to look so purely magical to her... It sounds strange, but if there even is a true meaning of Christmas left anymore, she'd found it. Now that she's dead, I just don't see the magic very much. I always just loved the look in her eyes when she'd wake me up at 4 in the morning to go pinch packages until our parents got up. Seeing her happy made me happy. Now I wake up Christmas morning on my own, whenever my eyes decide to open, only to realize that she's not there. I don't know, maybe some day I'll be better with the whole Christmas deal, but for now... I can't stand it. It's just too hard.

My god, but you really are a moron. Just because Australia's winter is like some other places' summer doesn't mean that it is summer. Especially in those other places.

::recovered from yesterday...::

After re-reading my post, I noticed that I said a bunch of stuff without truly getting my point across. I had done a little pie-supply shopping (somehow I find myself drafted to make about 30 pies for people pre-Thanksgiving) and came back from shopping VERY much disgusted (because I DID see a sign that said Santa was going to be in the mall next week... which was the tipping point). I'll re-state my points a little... and apologize for the rant.

I LOVE Christmas--I like going over my mom's house and decorating the house, and I love how it's actually the few times of the year where I get to see all my family at once (which is rare due to divergent school/work/travel schedules... aside from that, we only see each other all together during times of crisis). I think the original ideas behind the holiday are great, and I also love making cookies by the hundreds!

I hate that advertising for the holiday seems to creep increasingly further from its appointed date and is centralized around greed/commercialism more than the personal aspect of the holiday. It has already swallowed up Thanksgiving and made it nearly a non-entity... By the way, I like Halloween because of the dress-up factor (not the pseudo-satanic aspect)--I can get as outlandish as I want and no one will bat an eye... I have gotten out of the habit of celebrating my birthday because it falls too close to Labor Day (and back to school when I was a kid) and tends to gets lumped in with that, so Halloween is just a convenient substitute (because I like costume parties)... so of course I'm going to get angry to see another holiday's infringement on this day too--it's like I can't have a birthday in peace!

Yes, I love buying gifts for my family around this holiday, but I'm the same way about other gift-buying occasions as well (baby/wedding showers, birthdays, whatever...). I just like buying gifts because I always put a lot of thought into it.

I think that was a little more coherent than my previous post (sorry about that).

No, no, you're right... It really is summer here in North America. Just because Australia is hot at this time of year.

I'm sorry... I'm so confused. "because Australia has a summer like christmas"?

I know the weather's warm there during the winter... But how does that apply to the conversation?

Well, I do believe in the religious aspect of Christmas, but I do not like how it is commercialized to be. Christmas "must" be the most perfect time of year. And if it were moved to May, would it make a difference?

Christmas has never been a perfect time for me. I live in a dangerous area of New York, and my family tends to overdrink on parties, and speak about vulgar sex topics in front of their children. That's just my mother's side.

My father's mother died on Christmas. I was too young to remember. She wanted to have my father's first born daughter to be named Natalia, which means girl born on Christmas day, which is my name today. If that's not all, I've been told that I have her same facial appearance. On Christmas Eve, she gave in her wedding ring, asking to give it to my father's first born daughter, Natalia.

It's pretty sad, but we still survive. I just see Christmas as another day, with Christians overtaking pagan infulences, which I think is being hypocritical (saying that they do not have anything to do with paganism).

I'm pretty sure it meant "summer-like."

I guess you're a totally egocentric asshole after all, their SUMMER IS IN OUR WINTER. What a dumb ass. I'm an American, but people like you make US look bad.

I'm done making you look stupid, you're pathetic. Go cut your wrists while nodding your head to your anti-conformist music while wearing your hot-topic bondage pants and beanie, ******.

So you're calling him egocentric because, living in America, Christmas isn't celebrated in summer, and as so he chose to give that example disregarding the fact that Christmas is in summer in the southern hemisphere?
Then, are you an egocentric when you say good night disregarding the fact that in the other side of the world it would be day?

Funny you say that, I just wrote a huge short story about how when we watch sunsets, someone is watching a sunrise. I intellectually recognize that Christmas is spent in summer in some places. He didn't, because he grew up in America.

I actually always wondered; is the warm-weather season still called summer in Australia?

Oh-- I didn't notice that the url was .au. I thought it was just a site explaining the difference in climates/seasons.

Man, you really are a complete idiot. I was talking to someone who also lives in the United States. For both of us, Christmas is in the winter. Australia is irrelevant to the discussion.

But if you want to continue making yourself look like a fool, by all means, feel free.

Most definitely. What's that thing cost--US$600? And supposedly it doesn't even work to it's full projected potential yet... That's almost what I pay for an apartment! It's a few multiples of my monthly food budget! $600 -- that could provide three meals for HOW many people?
