1. Get online with you chaps more often now that Uni is winding down for xmas break.

2. Stop getting stressed out about work and be happy for once.

3. To spend xmas break drinking heavily till I turn a unhealthy shade of yellow.

4. To help Mrs.MM decorate the xmas tree tonight and stop being a miserable Scrooge.

5. To cook her a nice meal tonight, then get drunk together and....... well, you know.

How big is your christmas tree??

There's a healthy shade of yellow?

Yes, when you hold your piss too long...

Well, sounds like you're going to be having a good holiday season Mech.

aint gonna have a xmas tree this year

i just worked 10 hours, getting some major overtime

wha-wha-whaaat?

Why the hell should I have a xmas tree?

because its a must to get the right christmas-feeling! would be sad christmas indeed without one!:/

well I dont give rats ass about xmas, comersialized religious crap

comon, give your daughter a respectebale christmas man, just because you hate Christmas, does not mean that you have to "**** it up" for others!

A respectable xmas is the way I chose to have it. Who said you need a bloody xmas tree.

It's just tradition. And the tree has precious little to do with religion; we all know Christmas has an entirely non-religious life of its own now!

well, christmass is extremly economically exploited...but the tree has a very importnat part in the xmasatmosphere (wehre did "xmas" come from anyway?)....besides the big presents
i had one christmass withous a tree some time ago..and it was terrible

BF I don't like xmas too but xmas tree won't be a problam in this year I saw yesterday a good xmas tree in my neighbours back yard.

comon Finster...your daughter should have a tree!!!

No tree this year

bad father!

My god i would run away if I would had father like BF.

Zimbo what the hell are you talking about?

Nothing! it's just my bad language.

you were talking about BF, for what reason

I just tried to say Bf need to buy xmas tree

never said he wouldnt

Yes he did!

I said I wont have a tree this year not BF

Why no?

just because I dont want none

Why no

Why not??? what's Live going to look at???

celebrate Yuletime then! as ush said the tree has nothing to do with the christian celebration.

you need to read better, finti is the one that said he wont have an xmas tree, im sure as hell having one, its part of the feel of xmas for me. but in the end, for all i care you could hang crap for misseltoe as long as i get presents.

Well, as much as I hate to say it I think that when you have little kids you should have some nice stuff like that just because kids enjoy it..it's not about commericalization or religious stance for them..it's just a happy splashy moment that they can enjoy with their parents.

Not everyone celebrate xmas Dim

Bah Humbug, Ebeneezer Finti.

no humbug at all. Actually Scrooge got the main idea.
Ask me this then do people celebrate xmas for the sake of presents or to mark the birth of the so called christ

yes.

theres your humbug part of it

to kids its just about presents obviously, and pretty decorations.

yes. forget about the name, just celebrate a nice holiday with the family, some presents, decorations, a tree and good food.

Good food yes, presents yes, enjoyfull time with family yes, tree no

GET THE FRIGGIN TREE I TELLS YA!!!

No tree this year, save the environment

they don't just chop down trees indiscriminately for xmas, i think they grow them special-like.

it's supposed to be a happy time of the year. what are your kids going to tell their friends? "my parents are too miserable to celebrate xmas"?

Finti, get an artificial tree.

so all those who doesnt celebrate xmas are miserable?

But this is starting to get fun, NO I aint gonna get a tree. We have deceided that we aint gonna have a xmas tree this year.
main reasons I DONT WANT ONE and that we going to Monikas parents the 21. Dont need no tree, and artificial tree yeah just as fake as the entire xmas celebration

EBENEZER!!!

Why ebenezer?

because that's what you are, just like Mr.Scrooge

ok explain further, cause scrooge was all about Money.
we deceided not to have a xmas tree cause we aint gonna be home for xmas.
The custom in my family and Monikas is to decorate the tree day before xmas eve. Well we aint gonna be home so we dont need a tree

ok, fair enough

Monika has hung up angles and other xmas decoration things, got no help from me

We went for a fake tree last year and so we're going to use it again this year. We had to get one in the end cus our cats kept going crazy with a real tree, they'd go off their heads completely with another real one.

Anyhoo, still wasn't feeling at all Christmassy until I went and got all Mrs.MM's presents on Monday. I booked the day off and did it all in one big shopping spree, then had to go to Uni on the afternoon to get some computer time in on Pro-Engineer.

Gonna have a bath now and wrap all her prezzies and put them under the (fake) tree for when she gets home, Mrs.MM does love xmas so.

so you gonna tempt her for a week or so then... I like the idea

Nah, she gets all excited and stuff.

Its nice for her and I like to see her so happy, so I try not to be too much of a misery. If I lived alone, Xmas would go by without much of a fuss at all.

if only

Tee hee! Yeah I feel like that sometimes, but who'd warm me up in bed and wash my socks?

he he, those I chose too

Uh I'm not sure about the getting drunk thingy...but well promises are good

indeed they are

(looks at cold bed)

(cries)

I hate you now, Mech...

Il promis to get drunk tonight!

I promise to stop making promises I can't keep.

Bother I seem to have done it again.

clever

thank you.

I've broken mine already, still can't find enough time to pop in here and see you chaps enough.

Sorry Ush, didn't mean to rub it in or anything. Here have you xmas present early.......its a hot water bottle.

cheap

Its the thought that counts Finti.

Besides, at least now his bed will be warmer.

it is the size and priuze that counts

The presents don't make Xmas what it is, its the heavy drinking that does it for me.

indeed

GIMME!

(Hugs bottle)

isn't that bottle burning hot?

You are right! Mech gave me a lukewarm bottle!

dont drink that stuff though

just keep it under u're pillow

Well it was red hot when I wrapped it Ush, its not my fault you weren't around to open it straight away. Huuuurmp!

Anyhoo here's your other prezzie........

Its a hot water bottle cover, amusingly in the guise of George from Rainbow.

Enjoy.........

Rainbow. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Not the band Finti, the childrens programme.

"Look away from the sea
I can take you anywhere
Spend a vision with me
A chase with the wind

Move closer to me
I can make you anyone
I think you're ready to see
The Gates to Babylon
The power of what has been before
Rises to trap you within
A magic carpet ride a genie maybe more
A city of heavenly sin
Sleep with the devil and then you must pay
Sleep with the devil, the devil will take you away
Oh Gates of Babylon" - Rainbows "Gates of Babylon"

"Up above the streets and houses,
Rainbow climbing high,
Everyone can see it smiling over the sky...
Paint the whole world with a Rainbow.

Rainbow...

All along the the streams and rivers,
shinning in the lakes,
See the colours of the Rainbow as the morning breaks,
Paint the whole world with a Rainbow.

Red, the colour of a sunrise,
White clouds floating in a sky of blue,
Green for the rivers,
Gold for the cornfields,
The day is shinning new.

Red, the colour of a sunset,
Grey shadows creep across the hills,
The sun is sinking, colours are fading,
The fields are dark and still.

Rainbow...

Take some green from a forest,
blue from the sea,
Find the misty pot of gold,
And mix them for a week.
Paint the whole world with a Rainbow."
- Rainbow

Classic song of classicness, until the last verse where it gives up on the rhyming.

are we witnessing ush quoting lyrics?
