TimLivingston Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I figured this was a good spot to put up stuff to get us in the mood for the holidays. Like the greatest video of all time, for example: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Sugar Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Girls and I put up the tree this year with little to no fighting...always a good start to Christmas. Our new cat barely even touches it, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piranesi Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Our cat has lost interest in our tree too. It's too bad. It used to climb up about halfway up the tree way inside it and just sit in there and dare anyone to stick a hand in. It was kind of great, like, whenever one of us would walk past the other would be like: "You have trespassed where only a Tree Man may enter! A stranger in our temple must try the Wood Beast of Arboria or die!" and you would have to slowly stick your hand in the tree...as. slowly. as. possibAAHHHHHHHH!!!! "Please....end it now!"

Marty Sugar Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Things have been a financial nightmare this year, but my girlfriend got lucky and plunked down $20 at the casino while I was stuck there late doing Murder Mystery rehearsals and she won three grand. Christmas saved! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoBaltimore Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 It's pretty awesome to celebrate my first Christmas as a married man. We're totally into the "Our first Christmas" stuff and it's just great. It is countered a bit by the fact it's also the first one without her dad alive which sucks. But all in all it's not too bad. Staying away from the main songs they trot out for months has paid off and we're in the Christmas spirit. And for once I didn't procrastinate and got the shopping done early. All in all, good times.

Tabe Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Last week we had a white elephant gift exchange for my small group Bible study. Gift I went home with? A homemade cheese cutting board and a couple kinds of smoked cheese that my friend smoked himself. Cutting board was made from wine barrels. Those kind of deals, I usually end up with something crappy so for a cheese guy like me to get that? Awesome. And then the dude brought a bunch more cheese to class tonight as gifts. Booyah! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're totally into the "Our first Christmas" stuff and it's just great. Oh Jesus, did you buy a tree ornament that says "2014 Our First Christmas!" with like two little angels kissing or something? You unforgivable sap.* *he types in as the tree lights reflect off a "2004 Our First Christmas!" ornament with two little angels kissing. Goddammit.

Johnny Sorrow Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Take it from me, when you stop buying those every year for your tree it's a sign things could be going off the rails. Me and the Ex for a long time would get those year ones and at least two wacky ones every Christmas, my favorite was Lt. Worf holding a Batt'leth. Every year he defended the tree with Wonder Woman, Superman, Yukon Cornelius, and Baby Jesus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red is Dead Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I think baby C is finally understanding the whole santa thing. she knows about the tree, building snowmen, and the like. She's had some turkey, stuffing and tried potatoes at her nursery christmas meal...woofed it down. Shame I've got to work over the holidays though - would have quite liked to go up to mannie and visit the outlaws... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoBaltimore Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I never saw the point in the yearly ones, it's dated next year. We got one that had no year to it, so it's nice to have up. Next year will likely will be some generic married couple one, because no way I'm keeping up with something like the yearly ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Sorrow Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 My Nephew's first Christmas Pageant . He's all the way to the left rocking the kilt he insisted on wearing. I'm trying to find a little kid's size Piper "Hot Rod" shirt for him to wear at his first wrestling show I'm taking him top in Feb. but no luck. Nephew and Niece after the show.

piranesi Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 It makes the whole parenthood thing sound like the Stanford experiment. "Baby C was given the power to determine ration sizes for Baby A. Baby B initially voiced reservations, but when Baby C threatened Baby B with "box time" Baby B quickly relented and denounced Baby A. Baby C shows no sings of remorse or sympathy. Baby A has become compliant. I'm going to be so rich when I sell all this data to the CIA." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstout Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I took the day off to go to a friend of mine's Christmas party, and screw it, I don't wanna go. I'd like to see my friend and his brother, and maybe 1 or 2 other people, but not at the expense of having to stare at, and listen to, 30 strangers. If you feel social and not horribly depressed and down about everything, that's a present unto itself. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Sugar Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Christmas parties can be a real issue sometimes: it's such a stressful and weird time of year. I've had a miserable year at work, where every day seemed like a dogfight as we lost veteran staff and I dealt with personal and professional crises; and while I knew I'd been generally miserable and irritable and work, it really hit home at the company Christmas party when I was literally an island unto myself in the middle of the bowling alley we'd rented for the evening. My poor girlfriend, stuck all alone at Grumpy Dog's table... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
