Nyck will, at a very young age, introduce his son to murder simulators. Thats the way to do it - makes America proud.

I dunno, Xmas has always been about gifts, I still dont see what you guys are complaining about.... I dont see the fuss over the "Happy Holidays" thing either. Desensitizing the holiday?...Huh?

That's what makes Xmas fun for me. My boys (almost 5 and 2) are all jazzed up now. The little one doesn't even know what to expect, he's just enjoying the decorations, tree, etc. At this age they're easy to shop for and hard to let down. They'll be happy with whatever they get.

I realize that this won't last long, but like Nyck said, you have to raise your kids to be greatful for what they have and not spoil them and give them a sense of entitlement.

You people are shitheads. All throughout the year you act like an asshole to people (probably). Why not at least take one month out of the year to be civil and do something nice for somebody else? I never ask for anything for Christmas anymore because I don't need anything, yet people always give me cool stuff that I would not normally even think about, and I end up using it.

We walk into Wilsons leather and they are having a sale so my bro and I bought leather jackets "for eachother". beer: I also got him a boony hat from the army surplus store(40% off everything, anyone need bdu's for $10?)

i dont buy that bullshit about being nice one time of the year. im not a dickhead, i dont treat people like dirt throughout the whole year, so theres no point (imo) to be "nice" to everyone else just because its a hallmark season. i was going to make my brother a pc this year, but he doesnt have the room for it in his room and his gf is so retarded that she would prolly break it in the middle of a fight. shes the kind of person who throws shit and takes her tantrums out on your property. i do things for people all year long and for some reason i always have some surplus money at the end. alot of stuff i want to buy for myself is on sale and i can afford it now. i just dont see why i have to buy a bunch of stuff for everyone else when i can get what i want. i love my family, no matter how much they suck sometimes, but this year i think i dont want to do that whole gift thing. it sucks cause i know that they all got me stuff. i would rather take them out to eat at a nice place and go see a movie or something. i dont know, ever since my ex, ive hated every single holiday since. ffs, women are trash.

i can see how you would think that about most of the ppl here, but i do my best to treat everyone as i want to be treated, often to have it thrown in my face...

i dont like the feeling of pressure i think madmartagen is talking about that you need to buy buy buy for everyone or else youll come off as a bad family member, its not the way xmas and the holidays should be...

and i used to do charity with my parents when i was in hs, sometimes i wish i could do some of it again, i know i should, thats really the best way to feel good about yourself for xmas


anyway, i think i wanna celebrate kwaanza from now on, i went around the mall today with my brother when we were shopping, and we were doing the kwaanza solute to everything we saw "harambii! harambii! harambii!!!"

either way, happy holidays to everyone who deserves it

Good for you. No really, fuck others and there greedy asses. Fuck all this "its a time of giving" bullshit, the only reason people give is because they know if they dont they wont get shit in return. Its completly a season of getting. If it were a season of giving, youd walk down to Toys r Us with your kids and have them pick out toys, then youd give them to toys for tots or some bullshit. Hell even those toys for tots kids are greedy fucks, "its just not christmas for these kids if they dont get a toy". What the fuck is that bullshit, way to instill the true meaning of the holiday in them. Give the mother fuckers some glue and maccaroni and have them make eachother cards or some shit, grand total cost 14 bucks.

I stopped buying "christmas" shit at like 5. Mostly cause i didnt give a fuck about the holiday and figured i wasnt going to celebrate it, so why the fuck support it. Every damn year i told people dont get me a damn thing, they still did and would ask why i didnt get them anything. I'd hand them back the shit they gave me and say "i dont do this fucking holiday". Get some puzzeled looks from others when your 8 saying shit like that. Though most people didnt start wanting to know where there presant was until i was in middle school.

These days more of my family has caught on and are only giving 1 or 2 things and have really toned down the scale of the production of the christmas eve and day family get togethers. They are starting to feel the lack of joy in the season i felt at age 5.

Fuck this phoney ass holiday.
