Christmas Caper

I did this for thanksgiving too, and I rather enjoyed it so here is my holiday list of what is great and not so great about Jesus's Birthday

Pro's

1. Cookies!
2. Holiday Specials!
3. Snow!
4. Christmas Trees!
5. Decorations!
6. Secret Santa's! (the receiving end)
7. the Anticipation
8. Starbucks Seasonal Flavours!
9. Presents! duh...
10. Family!
11. Your still off school for a week!
12. Warm Fuzziness

Cons

1. Obesity
2. Holiday Specials (Rudolph has the worst lesson ever)
3. When it doesn't snow and your "white Christmas" is ruined
4. Fighting over a Christmas Tree, when your younger sibling wins
5. Cleaning up ALL the decorations
6. Fixing faulty lights on the house/tree
7. Secret Santa's, struggling to buy something for someone you don't know too well
8. The sadness after you've opened your presents
9. The increased sadness on the 26th
10. Pretending to like that sweater your grandma got you, being awkwardly enthusiastic
11. TOO MUCH FAMILY
12. School starts again in a week

Call me a Grinch, but I still love the holidays, the pro's are once again greater and more powerful than the cons. After all, 'Tis the Season to be Jolly

HAPPY Christmas

Happy FLUPPING Christmas to everyone who follows my blog, and those of you who just read my blog ;). Every self respecting Christian of any denomination loves this holiday, despite its commercialism. In fact I love it because of its commercialism, the tradition, the movies, the overall cheesiness that comes with the holiday cheer. Every year I try and do something special and new that will simultaneously delight and antagonise my family. This year its saying Happy Christmas instead of Merry, like my fellow Englishmen would. Naturally, being the good little duckling that I was and always am I, I got a nice haul this year, particularly the HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS VG. yeah that wasn't the best thing....
I'm not that weird. I also got leather gloves (but you don't care)
Anyhow, tomorrow and after New Years I will do posting like I did on thanksgiving, a sort of pro and con list of these most celebrated holidays. But today, I just wanted to wish you that happiest day of jolly present opening possible.

HAPPY CHRISTMAS
