Christmas Cheer!

So...

It's the season of Christmas/other various holidays!

So, how are YOU guys getting into the spirit of the season?

Myself, I started feeling the season cheer when I heard "Christmas Time" by Smashing Pumpkins on the radio. Great song. :)

    I'm not.

    Its getting to the point where I don't even like this time of year anymore. Its all about commercialization these days. Sad really. :( Doesn't really help that the local fundies are pushing their religion on everyone, and try bug the shit out of those that won't convert. :rolleyes:

    I like this time of year, I look forward to the snow and the trees, the fireplace cranking out the heat, and the smell of Holiday cooking...

    sentimental I guess...

    It's not about the materialism Vert, it's about the celebration of life that should be happening... ;)

    At least for me anyway...

    I agree,
    I dont care much for X-mas anymore, its a bull shit holiday. The only reason why I take part in X-mas is becuase my famaily still does. also, I'm apart of no religion so meh, and my famaily does'nt realy give a shit.

    I feel the old X-mas cheer when I see cars careening wildly out of control on the Ice and snow-slicked roads of Donner Pass...

    While I agree there are certianly some negative aspects of Christmas... its as much about what you make of it as anything else.

    Dont be a scrooge...:)

    Right on.

    What does Humbug mean anyway. My mom says it means bull-shit.

    I'm sick of the commercialisation of christmas. I hate the way christmas sales start up in October. Not to mention the fact that most of them are based on the premise of "Buy this really great gift, but buy it cheap!" which kinda defies the whole point of giving. So I've gotten used to avoiding all forms of mass media except the internet, where I can avoid just the ads. Mind you, I do that all year round anyway now.

    I love all the commercial stuff, stressing in stores trying to find the best gift.
  • i enjoy the decorations still.. the lights, trees, streamers, yadda yadda... but i suppose that's the design artist in me. aside from that christmas is just.... cold.

    C'Mon guys! Your worse then my MOM. Christmas is a time when your supposed to be HAPPY! Sure the Media and stores have turned the whole thing upsidedown, but the underlaying principle of christmas shouldn't change!

  • My favorite part of Christmas is when people come into my job at the GAP and try to win the asshole customer of the year award. We had not one but two very good contenders this past saturday with God knows how many people worthy of honorable mentions.

    Yes, I did mean spud gun.
  • This lady bought something in a state that has a sales tax. She wanted us to return it here in New Jersey where there is no sales tax and then sell it right back to her so she'd be refunded the tax. Never mind that its illegal. Never mind that its against our policy. Never mind that she was being a total bitch and giving the cashier next to me a hard time. No, none of that mattered since we HAD to "give her back her money". After insulting the cashier she demanded to see a manager. After continuing to belittle the cashier in the manager's presence she took offense when the manager used the word ridiculous(not a good move on his part, but 100% accurate), and demanded his name so she could report him to customer service. In the long run the manager went along with this bitch returning the jacket and buying one from our store. As he walked off he said to the employee good job loud enough for her to hear.

    All through this I was wishing we were issued paintball guns, or maybe tasers. Its people like this that destroyed my faith in humanity.
  • I won't even start on the pond scum who live off return fraud. We had plenty of them too.
  • BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>
    I hate people who do that sort of thing.

    One I had was a bunch of people coming in drunk on New Year's morning and playing rugby down the ailes with products.
  • Oh and I almost forgot. Before this uber-bitch left she kept saying to the cashier all the things he would have said had she been a good customer. "Have a nice day" "Thank you for shopping here". Finally he just muttered "Thank you" and she stormed off. Real piece of work not worth the air she breaths, or the space she took up. It was all I could do to not make some comment about Christmas cheer.

    I work as a cashier too, and because you do too, you prolly can imagine how many times I'd liked to jump from the pit i'm sitting at, and start beating the crap out of the those idiots that are our customers (okay, there's many that aren't assholes, but there are still too many assholes).
