I put the decorations up, that's it.

I dunno. Well I think you should use that chocolate sauce for some sort of Christmas pastry instead.

Don't you?

anata wa wakarimasu ka.....

Told my mom what I wanted, and that's it so far.

Might do some shopping this weekend.

Yeah, you're right. I'm sorry.

I haven't done anything, and probably won't.



I need to save for a new car.

I need to save for a new car. Wouldn't you rather experiencing the gift of giving instead of spending your money on yourself though?

How about you ask Santa for a Car and see what happens and the money you're saving up can be spent on your love ones.

anata wa wakarimasu ka.....

helped people decorate and shopped, for myself...

i'm making preperations to kidnap santa

We put the Christmas tree up. That's about it.

I'm a Jehovah's Witness, I don't celebrate christmas.

It's cool though...

Bought gifts?
Nope, and won't be family excluded, me and my friends have decided to send each other elaborate cards since we're all so far away instead of gifts.

Put up Christmas Tree?
Nope, we get a real one and I get like 3 Christmases kind of so we don't put it up until like the 22nd since it has to last into January and we always get a real one.

Don't celebrate Christmas?
Do, more than once.

Going away?
Going home from school on the 15th, then going to the States me thinks if not Cuba or something.

Out of school/In school?
Out of school by then, exams end the 15th. Second semester starts January 9th.

Excited?
Very, Christmas is the shit.

Don't care?
Of course I do.

Christmas List?
Hmmm well ideally I just want money, I need to raise a grand to get certified to teach English in Thailand (my dream at the moment) and then enough to buy a ticket there.
Other than that I'm asking my mum to make donations in my name to Project RED and Skate4Cancer me thinks.
Selfishly I'd love me some new sneakers.

Thanks.

Welcome

Anata Wa Wakarimasu Ka.....

No

Anybody started getting ready for Christmas yet? Yes.

Bought gifts? Only for myself.

Put up Christmas Tree? Was on KMC while my family put it up.

Going away? Nope.

Out of school/In school? In school for now.

Excited? I think I might be getting an iPod. 80GB, baby.

Christmas List? Car.

Well, we have lights in our room--around the cieling, the little white ones. There's a tree in the hall downstairs, and like a fake tiny one outside the room here. I'll be outta school in 2 or so weeks...and my parents said they'd try to get me a Wii.

Mainly, I want Christmas to come because it would mean finals will have passed

nothing christmasy here

anata wa wakarimasu ka..... Well, I would.

But my family and I are not doing much except Christmas dinner, I will get my mom and dad something, and I loaned my sister $700, so she isn't getting anything.


Oh, and I don't believe in Santa.

Oh, and I don't believe in Santa. How terrible. Santa Clause believes in you though. cry

I bet your sister would be so surprised if you got her something, no matter how small. I mean you loaned her $700 so she isn't expecting a thing, it would be so special.

Better yet, on christmas morning tell her that she can have it and not pay a cent back.

Now wouldn't that be a magical time.

Oh how I wish I could be in your shoes at that moment in time to witness that magical experience.

You lucky devil. doped

Alive.

The tree is up and I've bought a gift for everyone on my list...right now I'm contemplating whether or not to get some cards sent out to some of my closest KMC friends.

Oh yeah. I failed to mention how I've gotten ready for Christmas.

I told my family members way back at the beginning of this year to save up their money b/c what I want is expensive and I don't want to hear, "Oh that's too much, you're going to have to wait or buy it yourself."

Ohhh Noooo. You've had a entire year to prepare for this mess and so I better just get it. There should be nobody surprised or anything.

But then guess what. My grandparents decide to build and extra add on to their house that took up the entire year.

No excuses though. That's on them.

So yeah.

I made sure the people who are vital to me having a good Christmas had a good heads up to make my Christmas as special as I want it to be. doped

It's called Christmas PREPARATIONS after all. doped

Anata wa wakarimasu ka.....

No, you demand, Christmas shouldn't be about demanding and getting the most expensive things possible, it should be more

Originally posted by silver_tears

It is more. It's not about getting the most expensive things possible, it's about GETTING WHAT YOU WANT.

And I plan to do that.

And the "More Than That" part comes in when I add MORE stuff to my Christmas List as the season draws nearer and nearer.

And I'm always thinking about next year, so yes. You're right. It's much much MORE. doped

anata wa wakarimasu ka.....

That disgusts me.

It shouldn't be about getting what YOU want, it should be about giving and trying to make others happy. If you start planning about the things you want and demand them a year in advance that just leads to greed and selfishness.

If you can't see the hypocrisy of you telling Thorinn to buy all the people he knows gifts instead of getting himself a car, while you seem to feel you're more important than your grandparents' home addition, then well I pity you

Gosh. tongue

We are touchy aren't we.

You're taking what I'm saying too seriously.

Just messing.....................about some parts that is. shifty

But yeah. I'm well aware of what I've said to others on here.

I have to agree with this. I've asked for one single thing for Christmas as of yet, and it's not something that's very expensive.

What I am less than happy about is that I'm rather broke and can't afford to buy everyone gifts that I want to, and most of the ones I will be able to get won't be able to cost very much. There's probably only one person I'll be able to spend any real amount of money on...but that one person has done more for me then anyone I know and I do have an idea in mind for that.

To IR, well this is just general whether it relates to you or not, I'll never know, but I dislike selfishness around Christmas time, I hate this whole attitude about what you can do to further yourself, like people making demands etc on their family and friends about material goods. It's ridiculous, since like in the Grinch, the next day most of that crap ends up in the trash or forgotten.

I want above all, not including the money I need for my course, health for my family, and to ace my first university exams. I mean sure it'd be nice if I got a few things like the pair of new sneakers I want but I'm not demanding them.

I agree, I'm more upset by the fact I have no money to buy people gifts, being in school and not working for a long time, plus expensive textbooks have drained my account.

Well why not stop "Demanding" and just "Ask" and if you get it, you get it and if you don't, you don't.

It's not all about Demanding. You seem sort of biased.

Are you against ASKING in general? Do you come from a line of psychic decent?

I am working, but my checks aren't much because unfortunately I just can't get enough hours...so between that and stuff like paying for car insurance and school stuff, has left me fairly broke.

I'll be likely blowing half my paycheck I get on Friday this weekend on a single gift. I love to go all out on gifts, I spoil the hell out of my family and friends, but I simply can't afford to do so this year...but there's one person in particular I really want to do so for.

It's sad because I so love shopping for people.
Specially when you find the perfect little thing for each individual, just to cap off the gift, like a star wars christmas ornament, or a simpson's beer mug, things that you know they'll love and get some pleasure from.
I don't understand how people can go in and be done all their shopping in like a day. It takes me forever because I love making each gift personal.

anata wa wakarimasu ka.....

You specifically said demanding.
I'm not against people making Christmas lists, heck I make them too, but it's ridiculous when people thrown tantrums when they don't get what's on them.
Personally I just enjoy being thought of and remembered enough to get anything at all even if it's just a card.
I want sneakers, but if I don't get them, tough cookies, there's always other chances to. It's not the end of the world if I don't always get what I want.

I've spent $100 and change this year on gifts. Not much because I'm on a budget, but the gifts I chose were either useful to the person I bought it for...or I know the person will love the gift.

The only thing I've asked for this year is a bit of new clothes.

I'm the same way. Last year I think I stopped at the mall nearly every day on the way home from school, picking out a gift or two for someone each trip. Took me the whole month to get my shopping done, but I take my time in doing so.

As soon as you came back you were bombarded my everybody judging and criticing you on the new clothes you got and how many you got and what you got. It was crazy.

Now that I'm in college, I don't even want to go get new clothes. I've always hated shopping for clothes and trying them on. So it's a relief now that the I only go shopping once a year and that's in the summer before the new school year begins.

I was lucky last year since having worked all the way up to Christmas pretty decent hours I had plenty of money to buy people awesome personalized gifts. It's gonna kinda suck this year but what can you do right.
I'm just lucky my brother bought our parents their gifts, which I picked out, since he can afford them, so that's something.

Yeah, really...last year I spent something like $300 in total...this year I'll be lucky if I have half that. It kind of sucks, but I suppose I'll just have to make do.

Most people put trees up the day right after Thanksgiving. I wish my mom would.
I always turn on the Christmas Tree Lights Music. Even if I'm on the opposite far side of the house and can't hear it. I'll get up in the middle of the night to do it. It's nostalgic.

You're out of school already. I have 2 more weeks. Are you in college?

Nothing for Christmas? There must be something you want? What part of Christmas are you the most excited about?

anata wa wakarimasu ka.....

Not done much... gonna put the tree up this weekend.

Bought gifts? No, small issue of unemployment hindering that. But I start work Friday. Woohoo!

Put up Christmas Tree? Nah, mum does that shit

Don't celebrate Christmas? Of course I do! Crazy peeps who don't mhm

(Did you think I was younger than 22 or just stupid?) I calculated your age correctly.

I just didn't know your highschool ended at age 16, and since you said LEFT instead of GRADUATED I misinterpreted your meaning is all.

Did you like my song though?
