"So, This Is Christmas" is John Lennon.

I'm a big fan of most things Christmas but I HATE Christmas music. It's so bad and you're all wrong for liking it.

Hard to disagree.

 

Scrooged is the best Xmas movie.

Home Alone would like a word.

 

You people going to bat for "All I Want For Christmas Is You" are puzzling to me. I'd rather get stabbed in the ear with a toothpick than hear that song. It's so shrill.

I love Christmas music, almost of all sorts, aside from the silly stuff.

 

The Smashing Pumpkins have a great b-side Christmas Song, at least, IMO.

 

Also, if you haven't heard it, go listen to any Christmas music by Trans-Siberian Orchestra...awesome stuff.

How many times has everyone watched "A Christmas Story" ?

 

A billion. Maybe more. My personal favorite Christmas movie ever.

Christmas Vacation is fine but I find it overrated. Maybe it's my disdain for Chevy.

 

I'm the opposite. I think it has aged well, and I appreciate it more as I have gotten older.

THANK YOU. I knew Do they know it's Christmas Time was the compilation song for charity but couldn't for the life of me figure out the Lennon tune. I was determined not to look it up and try to think of it but never did.

I can watch the same Christmas movies over and over again every year, but when it comes to Christmas music, there are only handful of songs that I can deal with. Most of them I'm tired of hearing before they even start. They are the same songs I've been hearing a million times a year since I was a kid.

 

I typically like the newer (relatively speaking) Christmas songs. Especially the parody songs. The 12 Pains of Christmas is one of my favorites.

I enjoy the older stuff because it reminds me of my childhood. Between playing Christmas music in band, and visiting my now passed Grandmother's house for Christmas, it gives me nostalgia about simpler times with no bills and responsibilities.

Holiday Inn for me.

 

The worst part of Christmas is putting lights on the tree. We have a cool setup in the new house. Our loft is visible from the living room and has a nine foot ceiling, just enough for our tree. We didn't have to crowd the living room furniture and can still enjoy the tree.

Anyone else working Christmas this year? I told my boss months ago that I'd volunteer to work Thanksgiving and Christmas as long as I get New Years off so I can have my fun on New Year's Eve.

Are people just not into Eggnog anymore? I went grocery shopping last night and was amazed at the amounts of eggnog that were on sale. Dean's 1qt eggnog 2 for $1. Unfortunately the expiration date was the day of the sale. I myself have not had any eggnog but once finals are over next week that will change.

Egg nog has never been my bag.

I'm having my traditional egg nog made of bourbon and ice cubes.

Bought my soon to be 3-year old nephew one of those Power Wheels jeeps I always wanted when I was a kid. I don't get to see him much since I'm in Vegas, but pretty excited to see the smile on his face when he sees that

My college group of friends had our "Dirty Santa" gift exchange game tonight. It's white elephant, but with dirty gifts.

 

I bought a fleshlight type thing, but it was a mouth instead of a vagina. Could have went with p****, but I thought mouth was funnier.

 

The gift I received was a penis toothbrush and cock sucker.

Aw, Rick Hahn already got me I wanted.

That's pretty awesome. I always wanted one of those too when I was little. But at least my next door neighbor had one, so I got to use that.

This.

Christmas in San Antonio means . . .

 

Rounds of golf at Cedar Creek, Republic, and Brackenridge Park. Boat trip down River Walk, and New Years in Big Bend.
