Thread: Not Celebrating Christmas

Always have a happy Christmas on my end.

I love shopping for other people. I never really look at what they want (I know for a fact that everything that they tell or show me that they want, will most probably be bought by a closer family/friend of theirs... not worth the risk), I usually give them something they didn't expect - but would like it. Unexpected, yet still good-great, y'know?

It's like a scavenger hunt game, but I wasn't given a scavenger hunt list, I was given a few clues. And with those clues I get to try to solve the problem of "what would they like?"...
And if I can't figure it out, I follow my gut and pick up a seemingly "right" present at some random location in the store.

It helps that I have people to give presents TO, though.
...then again, even when I had NO ONE to give presents to, I gave presents to a few online friends.

...in the end: I always end up giving presents, and I love it. (I wasn't always like this though... it's as if some Christmas bug bit me in my highschool years)


Hope you have a great semi-Christmas! Enjoy the nog and watch some good TV/movies!

I have read your entry

Are you sure that you want to turn your back on Christams? Even if all the holiday have to comerical these days. well have a merry christmas any way
there is alaways for christams well have a merry christmas any way?

Aw! i'm sorry about your troubles Zev!

. . . maybe do some Christmas time volunteering? helping other people have a good Christmas might help you to have a good Christmas~

Or you might have a homeless person throw their food at you because they're a brat.

Good times?

I don't celebrate Christmas either, never have really. 6 days later you can celebrate the New Year.

I am a traditional guy, I always celebrate christmas. I hope I have a good one this year, and I hope you have a better one as well.

Do you dress up like Santa Claus too? You sure sound like Santa. :P

Volunteering.. hmm never really thought about doing that, not sure as its worth it, I really don't like most people. I wouldn't stand for a homeless person throwing food at me. Plus am not really a giving person like you guys.

Why don't you celebrate? What do you do on Christmas, do you just treat it like an ordinary day?
