just me?

is it just me or does anyone else treat christmas eve as just another day... i remember as a wee lad, having been out of school for like a week already, not being able to sleep a wink as christmas morning approached, no, not because i was waiting for santa, or to celebrate jesus' birth, but to open some sweet presents.... after maybe getting a total of an hour of sleep, 6am comes around, and i and other children in the house wake up everyone, then wait by the tree in the upmost of impatience, for near minutes will pass before paper is to start flying.... then as the morning starts to progress, breakfast gets cooked, but i havent the slightest bit of hunger, only yearning for more gifts to show up as more relatives come bearing the aforementioned gifts.... but by about 14-15, the feeling slowly drifted away, by 17-18 i didnt really care about it, just enjoyed seeing some of my family that i dont get to see often.... now, at the ripe old age of 24, all i look forward to is the fact that i get a day of work off.... my family only gets together for like 2-3 hours now, what little that does show up... so basically is it just me or do others hate christmas?

i guess i need to find a suitable mate to bear my children, hopefully that will bring my childhood and love of presents back to life!

yep, I know how you feel.. Although I don't hate Christmas, the older I get the more I think why the fuck do we give each other presents I know Christmas is to celebrate Jesus' birthday but who seriously thinks about him when you open your presents. I'm 36 years old and this is the first year my parents didn't get me anything. They told me that we are going to eat dinner at a certain time and would like for me and the rest of the family to get together. The only gifts would be for the children.

alright ya friggin Grinch! i love Christmas! i might not be as excited about my presents as much as i was when i was younger but its still my favorite time of the year. my family still gets together and its great. i dont get as much cuz as i did as a kid but oh well its still a great friggin time. ive got some 4link money now, otherwise id still be lookin at a stock mazda till next year! Cris, you want me to come give you a hug?

and when you do find a suitable mate make sure she doesnt have an elongated butt crack like you or otherwise your kids are gunna look like those buttface people off of South Park!

i feel the same way, its just another day, and the good thing is we get a weeks paid vacation this week

i did get a decent christmas bonus, but its just not like christmas anymore...

i feel ya. i worked yesterday just like any other day. i did get some rather cool stuff but i was more worried about having the day off and my paycheck being short. it was good seeing some family and all that jazz but for the most part just another day
