If it's so early why isn't it here yet? Amirite? excellent

Haven't really thought about. Still designing my halloween costume.

Is this in reference to when Christmas decorations start going up at shopping malls and how soon Fox News starts its season of veiled Jew and Zoroastrian bashing?

The Xmas stuff in the shops come earlier every year eh.

IŽm looking forward to it only because IŽll have time off work, and some nice tasty things are on sale.

Xmas is just one big sales con, IŽll be getting my kids something and thats that, not letting some day which is a pagan sun god date adapted by the corrupt church decide what I buy and when.

WhoopeeDee
For the past 5 years christmas comes early for me. All the good games get release in November.

So, it's not on the 25th of Dec. this year? confused

MildPossession
Duh!! it's earlier.

Can we get through Halloween, and Guy Fawkes Night thanks!!

Darth Jello
Are we going by a different calender? Orthodox Christmas is January 7th but that's even later.

Not everyone knows what Guy Fawkes Night is

Red Nemesis
FOX bashes Zoroastrianism? That sounds like hard work.

Anyway, as long as I can buy candycorn in stores it still Halloween time. No Christmas thoughts until it is all bought off the shelves. By me.

Yah. True that. The new year falls on the 13th of Jan, as well.

My wife works at a florist. Their Xmas stuff goes out the day after Labor Day.

Based on what we've been having, it's going to be the worst kind of weather during the holidays this year. Extreme cold with no snow and lots of fog. You know, when there's no snow or ice to store at least some heat and every time you walk outside its -20 with wind chill. And then right around early March it dumps so much that you have to deal with closed roads, fatalities, and damages in the millions of dollars. The whole unpredictable weather due to mountains and living in the city with the highest output of green house gasses in the world can get pretty trying sometimes...

you get thorns
I'm really hoping I finally get that little red Scooter. wink

We also have this wonderful phenomenon we call "The Greeley Smell". Basically, whenever the temperature drops below freezing and either it can't snow or right before it snows, we get this blast of air from the northern town of Greeley, known as a huge ConAgra manure town and the birthplace of radical Islam, so that the whole city smells like a giant turd. Perhaps that'll clue you in on why Matt Stone and Trey Parker invented Mr. Hankey. It's not Christmas until the whole Metro Area and Boulder smell like crap.

Lokking forward to the coming Halloween

No, everyone is always pissed and depressed around christmas. All i want to do is spend it with my family enjoying a snowy walk and a cup of a hot cocoa and maybe some good pranks and jokes. I never get that though. Only seem to get tears a jeers sad

Darth Jello
Has anyone ever gotten up around Christmas, looked at the drive way, and wished that you could legally buy a napalm flame thrower just so you wouldn't be outside for 3 hours shoveling?

ahh, right thread this time.

inimalist
LOL

people that aren't from Canada or Scandinavia/Russia don't get to complain about shoveling snow.

Darth Jello
I'm talking about that layered snow that intermittently melts, freezes, and gets snowed on more until what you have is a wet, dense, incredibly heavy snow that's about 2-3 feet high. Each shovel full weighs between 20 and 40 lbs.

inimalist
oh, I know what you are talking about

Christmas is possibly my favourite time of the year.

Exams usually finish in early december and school/uni usually isn't back on until january 10th or so. Just enough time to kick back and relax, without getting struck by summer vacation-mania.

MildPossession
Our good old England comes to a stand still when it snows about half an inch... for some reason, everything goes wrong.

I adore snow. smile So, I'm just happy when we bloody get some snow!!

Where I am, we got about two days of snow last year, and not in December.

BackFire
Screw Christmas.

Halloween is coming!

MildPossession
Halloween is shit in England.

Kris Blaze
Halloween is shit compared to Christmas.

Seriously :/

lol, I remember being on vacation in America (the south-ish) where they said if there was even a risk of snow, they closed down everything.

I think last year was really mild here (we had record breaking amounts in dec/jan iirc, but the rest really didn't have much) but over the past years it hasn't been uncommon for us to have 10' walls of snow surrounding our driveway.

Darth Jello
When it snows, we get severely dumped on, we have fatal traffic accidents because our plowing and roads really suck, and building inspection is so lax that every year we have several roof collapses. Oh, and the rest of the country has to pay for it. The price on beef goes up because cows die in the tens of thousands and there aren't enough national guard troops to airlift hay to them, the roads being impassible.

inimalist
seriously, thats so lame man, not like they don't know winter is coming.

Canada gets snow right

Darth Jello
And again, the Greeley smell. You know it's going to either be very, very cold or snow when you go outside after 12 and you feel like God just gave you a Dirty Sanchez.

inimalist
lol, I'm going to owe you royalties on that one

Darth Jello
Here's another one. It's like getting into a head on car accident and discovering your airbag is a homeless man's ass.

No, didn't you hear? They're moving it to December 24th. Santa needed to get on his routes early because of some elf labor dispute or something. I don't know, north pole politics are confusing as hell.

Darth Jello
Maybe they could move it to when Jesus was probably born if he was real. You know, like, mid May.

Mandrag Ganon
Pssh, that's crazy talk. Then the Easter bunny would get no love because christmas was so close.

I don't remember the last time it snowed around christmas where I live. sad Though, it did come last year around July 10th and my dad and I were shoveling the drive way, with borrowed shovels.

Ironically, he gave me the one with the weaker handle and told me to be careful not to break it. 5 seconds later I hear a snap and "Crap" and looked over to see that he broke his shovel. Aah, good times, good times. smile
