So what is going on everyone Xmas List?

[holy king]

indeed.

 

[Antilogic]

"Cassette tapes" oldschool or "CDs" oldschool?

8-tracks.

Seriously, though, all the high-schoolers talking about their Christmas lists is pretty cute. My gift to my parents is a plane ticket to their house and a week of vacation, that's about it. And they aren't getting me much either.

This may well be the lamest Christmas ever.

Lunch with my broke aunty and uncle....I'll be paying.

Then I'll be drinking Christmas dinner alone.

 

[_random_]

I'm not Christian but like prezzies and getting all my family together?

The letter X is a Christogram, so you haven't really secularized it.

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

A lump of coal.

Aww, is that because you never get what you want?

 

[Quackers]

Coke and hookers.

always beat me too it

This sounds very sad. But probably isn't.

For the last so many Christmases (dunno probably 5 or 6) despite my protests that I'm really OK alone, my neighbour (an otherwise kindly woman) has insisted I eat Christmas dinner with her, her daughter and her son-in-law.

Now, these are very nice friendly people. But I'm not related to them in any shape or form... and they can't cook any better than I can. Well, a bit better, but not much.

This year though, my sister has already invited me for Christmas. So I have a get-out-of-my-neighbour's-kindliness ticket in the hole.

Now, how on earth do I escape my sister's clutches (another otherwise kindly woman)?

I wish to spend Christmas alone. Communing in solitary splendour with my fellow solitary Christmasers.

Even after Christmas I'm not safe. There's the obligatory New Years Day dinner to be negotiated. More time to spend with cheery old people, listening to casual racism.

Is it any wonder this time of year depresses me?

"Charlie Brown, you're the only person I know who can take a wonderful season like Christmas and turn it into a problem. Maybe Lucy's right. Of all the Charlie Browns in the world, you're the Charlie Browniest."

References to 60's cartoons aside, invite yourself to dinner at your place. Then, when someone else invites you, say that you've already been invited.

 

[Borachio]

Yeah. Nice try. Wouldn't work. I've long known what a useless liar I am. People just see right through me instantly. I no longer even try to tell lies.

Disconcertingly, they still often don't believe me.

So the airplane stops right in front of their house? Which airline gives such handy door-to-door service?

 

[Antilogic]

I wish, but have a ticket to Hartsfield-Jackson and then a long hour and a half in the car afterwards.

Well spotted. Correct on both counts

I love my aunty and uncle so I'm lucky to spend X mas with them, but they are annoying so a few beers at home alone after suits me just fine.

Dad lives in Perth and my brother in Bali, and I'll talk to them both.

I actually pinched "Drinking X mas dinner alone this year" from a country song.

 

[Ajidica]

Well, I know I am getting a new sweatshirt, earbuds (mine dissapeared), a learn-Polish CD, and some cash for my trip to Eastern Europe in January.

 

[Kennigit]

I should get a suit. I have no other desires.

 

[AdamCrock]

EDIT: expensive not expansive - read too much Civ hehe

You've been very naughty this year ...

 

[PlutonianEmpire]

Access to nukes.

If I'm gonna die this December at the hands of the Mayans, I'm taking you all with me!!!!




Wait....

X-mas isn't until 4 days after.

Crap.


I'll just settle for free porn then.

 

[bhsup]

In addition to the snow I mentioned previously, I would like a tavern free of red-diamond threads.
