The Christmas Thread!!!

Channukah is just a bullshit holiday wherein we celebrate the beginning of the Hasmonean dynasty, a dynasty full of incompetence, corruption and a lot of internal disputes, much like most other monarchies. Thus ensued a slippery slope that ended in a terrible reputation, the Roman Empire's takeover and a lot of the attitude that made them eventually scatter us. The events Biblical and thus the holiday was very minor, until it decided to follow Christmas's lead in adopting an even more bullshit consumerist core.

I hate how it's spelled with a ch.
-
It's transliteration, so you can't expect too much.
-
The whole massive consumerist aspect of Christmas might bother me if I didn't find the holiday season incredibly charming anyways, toy sales and all.
-
The Christmas season would be nicer if the traditional music didn't become kind of grating the older you get. The same 50 trad. pieces and arrangements stuck in time, forever.
Christmas needs new music to stick in stores everywhere and Celine Dion covers are not the answer.
Sufjan Stevens had a good plan by writing his own new Christmas music. Maybe if we could get someone who wasn't Sufjan Stevens to do it, life would get better.
-
I'd even be happier with more frequent plays of newer arrangements of the traditional music that aren't mall-punk.
but, again, tradition what are you gonna do

Its a blizzard outside.
Most people would see a white wonderland, but I just see cold miserable mornings de-icing my car.
-
yeah, it's white outside… I will freeze like hell.

Tell me about it. :(
I'll have to dig out my car first before I can happily scrape ice off it's windows. -
Decorations were completely finished yesterday.
Already planning some gift shopping.
Listen, no matter how much some people hate Christmas…Nothing...NOTHING compares to the fucking torture that I hate that is called 'Black Friday'. Fuck you, Black Friday.

I've never had those, but they look good.
This is the time of year for blondies (vanilla caramel brownies).

Haha they are really good. Very simple Speculaas from a small village on the boarder to the Netherlands. The spices make them really good and contrary to what they may look like, they and not dry, unless you have them lie around for weeks.

It was a fairly easy decision for me :D
I'm a horrible person … I ate the first three pieces of chocolate from my Advent calendar in advance. Now I didn't have a choice but to eat the fourth one today :ninja:

I am thinking about buying the original star wars trilogy DVDs unaltered before Lucas eradicates them with all the 3d tv crap.
I only had the VHS.
