I would like to be the first to wish everyone a great holiday season.
As we all know, Halloween, despite being the second most popular (and 1st most awesome) holiday, seems to be dieing. :( Tradition, people, tradition!
Regardless, I'll gripe in the preceeding month next year (next October).
For the time being, I would like to sincerely wish everyone a great Thanksgiving, December, Christmas, and New Years.
Most people don't really think about these holidays beyond the novelty of it. Fair enough, I don't personally care much about Thanksgiving beyond the 4 day weekend I get and the delicious meal with my extended family. I love turkey. However, during December I'm almost constantly happy. I don't know why. I think it's just the air of joy about everyone. I love the old Christmas traditions, even if most people don't do them anymore. I sing Christmas Carols in my free time, make Egg Nog, decorate the house, and all sorts of stuff. I buy all my friends gifts. December is the Christmas season, and even if you don't celebrate it because of Jesus, you can all appreciate the togetherness of the ones you love and the spirit of the season. Enjoy yourselves! Play in the snow if you have any. Hang up your stockings. Do it nice and old-fashioned.
And Happy Hanaka (Sp, I know I spelt it wrong) to all the Jewish Community here. I hope you have a great series of 8 nights.
Togetherness, people. For one month out of a year, celebrate peace, brotherly love, and kindness to its richest.
Happy Holidays!
Spoken truth.
There's something about the Holiday season that makes the gloomiest days feel wonderful. I don't know what it is... but there's just a constant buzz in the air that makes you feel happy. Even if Christmas is becoming less and less about traditions and more and more about shopping, I don't care. Like Judge, I still do all of the old stuff. Sing, decorate, sit with family and general try and take life more slowly.
It's unfortunate that some people can't take this time of the year to just enjoy themselves. For whatever reason they have. I pity them.
im starting to think this time of year is bad luck. so many bad things keep happening to me, and my buddies! i am looking forwerd to desember though.
happy holidays too evryeone too
Even when I did live in the USA, I never really understood the concept of a "holiday season". Far as I'm concerned there's Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year's Eve, and then another year of mundane relative semi-strife. What baffles me even more is that people start wishing each other a merry Christmas in mid-October.
There's no such thing as "the holidays". It's called winter.
The only reason Christmas makes me happy is because I get to visit my grandparents, auntie, uncle and cousin. My grandparents live four hours away, so myself, mother and sister go down to see them every christmas. My aunt, uncle and cousin live a couple hours away from them, and they come up to stay there, as well. I enjoy all of their company, and I don't see them often, so it's special.
Otherwise, I hate winter and being with my close family (ok, fine, my father then).
meh.
**** you you piece of ****. Why don't you go **** yourself you ****ing loser? Why can't you be ****ing happy for once in your god ****ed life you stupid ****ing ***. ****! I hate people like you. God ****it!
****!

To me, its just annoyingly cold.
Screw the holidays. :(
I adore the holidays. The snow, the friends and family, the childhood memories, the decorations, the music, etc. Last year, I totally bestowed upon my house fantastic Christmas embellishments. I remember how dazzling and intense their radiance was when I lit them during those placate, cold December nights, mollifying or simply shifting my emotions to the state of the utmost jubilation. The luminosity of those embellishments certainly surpasses all prior holiday decorations.
Weather in San Diego is always sunny. Even during Christmas. :(
I really like Thanksgiving this year because I get a weeklong break. That's what I'm thankful for :)

D: Are you really my boyfriend? The holidays are great; what with the decorations and the parties and the presents and yule tide cheer and all that. You know, that whole togetherness and warmth thing the Judge mentioned. Scrooge.
i hate having to associate with my family, so all that stuff is moot for me. Its more like yelling and trying to think up excuses to get away, and trying to figure out how to use things against people.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
Winter is Florida's dry season, although it did rain here for like 5 minutes today.

You're forgetting that you can always spend the holidays with my family.
[quote=Corrupt]Naaah. Remember how the last two winters have been? We've gotten a LOT of rain (considering it's US we're talking about!) in the past two winter seasons. Sure, it's not as much as most other places get, but it's definitely something. Besides, even those brisk, sunny winter days are nice. Although I still like rain better.
I guess... I always enjoy the occasional windy/cold weather we get though. It's pretty rare to have 50 degrees or less here.
I enjoy the holidays, so long as I don't have to interact with family that doesn't like me and vice versa. Christmas and Thanksgiving with hardcore Christians is miserable, I'm very glad neither of my homes is (openly) religious.
'sides that, it's good for getting all emotional and confessing feelings like a drunk, which I like.
To me it's about choice- that's what decides how every day is to you, not just the holidays. Luckily most of my family decides to be completely revelling in the holiday spirit. In past years my parents would talk and joke and laugh with my aunts, uncles, and other older family members. I would always just sort of fend off those family members with short converstation and go back to hiding with my cousins. But I've spent more time with a couple relatives in particular, and they are way cooler than my parents, so I can't wait! This holiday is going to be wonderful.
Even better, I don't have that horrible feeling that I'm a selfish little brat, as there's hardly anything I have a want for this holiday. My birthday is two days before Christmas, so I'd always feel like I was hogging those three days(23-25), as I am also the baby of my family, and the baby of the family always has a longer Christmas list than anyone! But not this year!
the holiday spirit>halloween
Winter is awesome.
I know, I'm wordy.
San Francisco is better than San Diego or Santa Barbara.
Either way, it's still sunny in the Californian valleys for me. :( But it's really cold. ****ty combination. I perfer gray skies for a change of scenery.
Simi for the **** win.
sd 4 lyyyyyyyyyyyyyfe
Musta been tough growing up on the hard streetz of SD, s0ul.
christmas dont come to the homeless homies
December does though. I'm not talking about Xmas specifically. I'm talking about Holiday Cheer.
Cold weather kills hobos.
I hope you're happy now, you monsters.
I remember last Christmas some poor kid found a hobosicle under a bridge around here. And this is a very small town.
Man, holiday spirit can reach anyone, man... anyone... man, you just gotta let it....
Apparently it reaches the hobos a bit too much. :(
This year has sucked for me. It'll probably continue sucking. I don't like the Holiday season because everyone who's originally an ******* decides to be nice for a week or so. I'm only looking forward to my days off.
Hungarian much?
Is that a question or something? I don't get it.
He means are you Hungarian.
[quote=Corrupt]Agreed.
:(
I've been to San Francisco once, for a day. I don't remember it because I was pretty small. :p
I would have never guessed Sushi was from another country.
He's gotten a lot better with English since I've met him. Hungarian sounds wierd as hell, though. Listening to him talk to his family sounds like a series of random half-wookie half-klingon clicking noises.
Oh. So he is Hungarian. My bad.
