The only reason I dislike Christmas is that it's become so commercial. Best part of Christmas is buying gifts for the people that you love.
That's one thing I hate about it. All the lights and fakeness. It annoyed me every year to go down to Honolulu Hale several times a month to see all the lights and decorations. Cool...something to do. Nowadays it's a bah hum bug...but I dont have kids so my thoughts would probably change when I need to teach a kid hope and find ways to stay busy. Ive trying to tink of gifts to get. I only get gifts for people I care about, mostly something they can use. Kind of finding it hard. I bought my friends alcohol for the last 3 years. Im kind of thinking of getting them gear wrenches since thats something I like, something everyone wants to use, and that's one set of tools that you dont wanna be losing.
the city lights are okay, the decorations from the different departments are pretty cool and creative, though. we'll go down with my son if we have the time, but i hate crowds and finding parking.
unfortunately, sometimes it's unavoidable to feel that way - esp. when you have a co-worker/acquaintance/long lost relative that gets you a present out of the blue and you hadn't even thought of them...
ah, crap. new federal laws just superceded existing codes and laws. my caseload and responsibilities should triple over the next couple of weeks, with no extra help forthcoming... this is not going to be an enjoyable christmas season. totally ruined my christmas spirit.
i usually look forward to new years more than xmas but this past new years eve sucked now that we cant pop fireworks.
Yes! New Years sucks ass without the whole fireworks deal. Seriously had a shtty time last year without it. Christmas is over-rated. Black Friday on the other hand...........
Exactly, also why did they banned the regular stuff like the fountains, morning glory/sparklers, ground bloom flowers, thunder strings, etc?
For the Bah, humbug chronicles. http://www.staradvertiser.com/newsp...t_violated_the_Constitution.html?id=182137751
I'm quite happy that you have bought into the commercialized Xmas of today. Methinks you must like all the Star Wars films except Empire and that you love Jar Jar Binks................
