Also, I did not spend all of that time studying Science in two universities to put my faith in the super natural. As such I will not be celebrating Christmas, The Saturnalia, Makar Sankranti, Maghi or any other religious festival.

So yeah Bah Feckin Humbug...

hoorah..lol someone who doesn't believe and doesn't celebrate it... had this discussion in the office when ppl blah on about it my response is simply "do you believe" ... when the answer is no i simply question why the celebrate it ...

+1 ...As to all the commercial bull... HUMBUG!!!!!

I love to see the happy children's faces and all the effort parents do take to make this time of the year happy for them... that's what it's all about to me.

Then I hate the constant christmas songs on the air, wherever you go and I hate the lying of everybody wishing you well when they don't give a duck and I hate that you've got to buy someone a present because he's gonna buy you something you don't really want anyways and I hate the fact that this time is like a spike on an oscilloscope when everybodies jolly and then they go back to being miserable slugs the rest of the year.

I am required at work on the 24th, but have not had the times confirmed. As for the 25th, I believe that it is a Saturday this year which means I shall be spending that day with the wife. Saturday is the only day that we spend together, because we both present the radio shows on Sunday.

I have already planned and prepared my radio show for the 26th, it is a crushing show, lots of sick dark metal that beats the listener into a pulp. Can't wait!

Thank you and Damn right.

I feel the same about Christmas as Lozzo and it seems 'most everyone else.

BUT...

The Christmas and New Year period is a good time for getting together with family and friends and their family to take a break and have a good time. So that is what we do...

I don't have time to worry about stupid Xmas, I'm too busy fighting to get to and from work in the snow.
