    Still love Christmas. Spend it with my family for the entire time, everyone's happy, and we eat the best food for that day. Can't complain at all.

    Oh, I still loooooove Christmas. It's around this time of year I really start jonesing for it. But as I have gotten older and have now have little ankle biters running around the house, I look forward to it for different reasons than when I was a kid. The getting stuff part is an afterthought - these days its all about having loved ones close by, cooking a lot of really nice meals that take a really long time to make, enjoying drinks while Christmas music plays, our peculiar family rituals, that sorta thing.

    I've already start christmas shopping. The goal is to get that shit outa the way as soon as possible so I can proceed directly to the yuletide cheer post haste.

    I love Christmas-- it's my favorite holiday by far-- but I'm not wild about the Christmas season.
    ...and the milk's in me.

    First Christmas with divorced parents...looking forward to it!

    When my family asks us what we'd like for Christmas, we'll respond, "More gifts for our niece and nephews".

    Last year I had enough money to get everybody in my family a nice gift. This year I'm pretty much tapped. Following Scar's lead, I might just get stuff of neices and nephews...

    I wish more of the people who complain about Christmas lasting the entire month from Thanksgiving through Dec. 25th would also complain about Halloween taking over the entire month of October.

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    Not a Christmas vacation per se, but I'm taking some time for myself from 12/27-12/30 in San Francisco. Looking forward to that!

    Hoping for usual company shut-down from 23-3. Will be the first time I can take part in it.

    Just got off phone with sis. Plan is to all bring gift cards for some sort of game. I'm hoping to think of weird enough places for cards that either everyone is fighting over them, or I end up with them. Not sure which will be funnier.

    One more week, than I can go into ‘hiding’, ie vacation. Smoking a prime rated rib roast for the annual Bac0n/Scar F it, it’s Christmas feast.

    I've watched Christmas Vacation two nights in a row. Do I hear a third?

    I like Xmas. The actual season is awful but the holiday is nice. I always see my dad's side of the family since his parents are still alive.

    Time and a half after 44 hours.

    I’m enjoying it, just getting tired.

    I was transferred to a store much closer to home, so a shorter commute makes the long hours more bearable.

    Why after 44? Why not 40? Are the extra four bonus hours? I had that before.

    Probably some province/state law. Weird though.

    It's Canada. They drink milk out of bags. Who knows why they do the crazy things they do.
