Does Christmas rock or suck? Languish: YOU DECIDE!

[Darth Wagtaros]

I do that too.  I aim for a trifecta of messy, noisy, and loud.

[Ideologue]

Nothing for my "niece" or "nephew."  They are not of my blood, and they certainly didn't get me anything.

HUMBUG.

Get them books and all interested in history.  That will teach 'em

After last Christmas, I sent a blast email out to all family members warning them to never buy markers for my kids again.  Thankfully my kids are too lazy to put the caps back on and the markers dry out pretty quickly.  But there's ample time for them to mark all over everything in the living room. 

[PDH]

That's what markers are for!

PM me your address, I will send the kids some Sharpies(tm).

[Admiral Yi]

I'll throw in a caligraphy brush and ink block.  Nothing's too good for Speesh' kids. 

[Ed Anger]

And glitter.

[derspiess]

Fuck you all.

[merithyn]

What about the sequins and beads for jewelry making for Lola and model kits with tiny bits and pieces and "get-me-high" glue for the boy, too?

Christmas rocks!

[Camerus]

I went through most of my twenties not really liking it, due to some shitty memories.  But I suppose Christmas does have two sides to it.  In that vein, here's my favourite cinematic Christmas moment:

However, now that I'm in my 30's, I enjoy it a lot more, even in its wholeness.

That leaves silly string (a favorite) plus noisemakers, holiday crackers, etc!

Out of interest, so other countries have adverts that compete to make the public weep, then share their weeping on social media? This year it's between Sainsburys and their cinema vérité offering (the end got me):

and John Lewis and the unlikely bear/hare pairing:

I do enjoy Christmas, but coming from the North, I find it difficult to get in the Holiday spirit here where it's 80 degrees and sunny every day. 

I lead a hard life.
