Was just wondering what everyone will be doing for Christmas.
Some people are more into Christmas Eve than Christmas Day, and vice versa.
We like to go to a church service on Christmas Eve. Then maybe driving around and looking at the lights. Living in a small town has made that not as easy.
We might go to OKC tonight.
We dont even have a christmas tree up, but we do have lights up.
So what will you all be doing?
What traditions do you have?

Drive around looking at lights Christmas Eve and finish wrapping presents. Christmas morning and lunch at my mothers. Christmas night dinner at my home. Can you talk about overkill sometimes? :)
Oh yeah, forgot to say Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
We like to do a movie with the kids. I'd like to hear from some "normal" people about what's good this year versus the movie critics.
So as many of you know tomorrow is Christmans so I'd like to take this oppertunity to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, Happy Haunnaka, Joyfull Quanza, or have a nice Thursday (for the pagans). I should just come to work tomorrow. Haha as much as I hate, and yes I mean absolutely hate, this place it seems as though it would be a better invested day then me, sitting on my Nuggets, watching "A Christmas Story" for the 5 billionth time. Why do people love the hollidays? Why is this the "most wonderful time of the year"? I mean seriously if you have nothing better to do tomorrow then stand on your porch and watch your neighbors. The kids are going to wake far too early, if they sleep at all, meaning dad wakes up under rested, no early morning unwrapping session with the "Mrs. Clause", and just generally in a foul mood. To make up for this he tortures said children causing tears from not letting them open their pressents until he has deposited his "yule logs" down the chimney (if you catch my drift). When the pressents are finally opened then the dad gets an all new torture as bright lights, loud noises and things of all shapes and sizes fly threw the air, clashing with his Christmas Eve party hangover and the lack of sleep. Finally things begin to calm as mother warms the oven so that she can undercook the turkey and burn the pie crust. Rage sets in with her as the carmel topping spills from the hot cake into the car seat, and later onto hubbys lap causing third degree burns. Bows and paper rip causing a barage of silent curses from the woman who had been up so late the night before wrapping them. Finally, all gifts in the trunk, boiling masses of food in everyones laps, and the children all seatbelted in, it's off on a bicker filled trip for a meal at the inlaws. In todays society that means most of us have to eat stale turkey and cold mashed potatoes at four different places. We must fake similiar interests and excitement from Grandma's gall bladder story we've heard the previous 4 years. Football comes on as an escape but alas the NFL in it's infinite wisdo always seems to think best vs. worst will make for excitement. Dinners done and car overflowing with dollar store reject toys, everyone returns home to the house that had taken several hours to clean and only seconds to destroy. Heartburn and indegestion set in as everyone reluctantly picks at left overs. New toys show their value as a child screams do to the loss of an arm or tire from the new treasure brought by an obese man who steals food from your home and has a midget fetish. But hey it's over now so everyone can relax. I mean you have a whole week to take down all the decorations and clean the house again for the New Years get together. Most wonderful time of the year my ass. I think the married guys are more suicide threat then the single ones. I finally figured it out, Frosty melts to get away from all this shit.
Dear Mr. Scrooge
So sorry to hear that you are suffering from reindeer rectal inversion, because that is the only thing that I can think of that would have you feeling so grumpy. Sometimes some of the elves suffer from it, we find that eating lots of prunes usually helps speed relief.
Mrs. Claus
Just wondering if my Christmas tale sounds familiar? Tell me where did the religion go in the holiday? Merry Wal-Mart top anual sales month to you all.

Dear Mrs. Claus,
Maybe if you put out a little more, he wouldn't have to go to the reindeer...

All I want for Christmas is a Lowe's, Home Depot, Bass Pro, Locke Supply, Stanion Electric and a Coors Distributor.

from all the hysteria and rumors I was lead to believe that 85% of all ACHS students were already in a gang.
well that would give a group for the 15 percent not yet affiliated

Thanks,

I went to Wesley to visit my wife in SICU on Christmas Eve. I'll take her mother up there tomorrow. She and I will dine at Beijing Chinese Restaurant in Ark City just like Ralphie's family did. Just before my wife's accident she and I went to WalMart to give to the Angel Tree for the first time. Maybe without the mitzvah, things would have been worse.
jj. Merry Christmas!
I know you meant to start this thread off on a good note. Sorry it deteriorated so quickly. Really.
I woke up and had a bit of free time and looked at jj's blog and honestly can't believe some of the comments. UGH!!
I'm a great believer in free speech. Seems like some people just don't appreciate that right. Also, on this thread, a privilege. I think all should remember that this is jj's blog and try and show the man a bit of respect. (remember that the moderator could return at any instant before you post some insult or profane stuff)
Especially at Christmas. I could say a lot here, but in the spirit of Christmas, I will be nice.
I could not agree with dow jones watcher more. Thank you and Merry Christmas.
Did people really get this upset about a few blog comments? What if the people who left them don't believe in Christmas? Didn't the nation all go see an Adam Sandler movie on Christmas? Nothing like dick and fart jokes to show the reason for the season right? Anyone watch a Christmas Story? The Grinch? Elf? Or one of the hundreds of Christmas movies that "make fun" of the holliday? Oh blasphamy, never make fun of Santa. Unfortunately it appears that those on this blog with holliday spirit are about 90 years old. Sorry Gramps but it's a new generation that finds all the old "traditions" to be a pain in the ass. Ever think those things were tradition because that's all you had? Dirty clothes over the fireplace, folliage decorated sounds like Christmas in a third world country to me. New traditions include: pizza delivery, an evening movie at the local theatre, a guitar hero or Halo tournament between all the kids that got new games. I know the older folks don't understand these things but hey don't worry soon you will forget what you are missing (old age does that to you). I just ask as we finnish out these holliday seasons that everyone remembers Santa laughs too.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! I have had it with the M*&@%& F*&%@&% naysayers on this M*%$%# F*&%@%^$ blog!
Rick, I am sorry to hear about your wife in the hospital in Wichita, you and your wife are in my prayers.
To some of you bloggers, stop please. Enough is enough, it is not funny the way you are behaving. NOt all of us are old on here, and we do believe in old and new traditions. Its called keeping family memories alive with us and then making new ones of our own. I don't care one way or another how you spend your Christmas, but puhleeze keep the filthy language off here. I would appreciate it, thankyou.
Why are you reading this blog if you don't care? Interesting huh? Sounds old to me.
Some of the comments on here make me think I have gone back in time to the 1800s or something. Apparently some of you all don't interact with the world much.
"Why are you reading this blog if you don't care?"
----------------------------
Don't take it so literally, I don't care if you are old or new school, what I do care about is to interact with people that aren't making a total moron of themselves like you seem to be doing. Go ahead, great, go watch farting movies on Christmas. Thats your tradition, go for it.

Uhhh, they didn't have internet in the 1800s. It wasn't until Al Gore was born that the internet even became a possibility..DUH
i took my daughters to watch the adam sandler christmas movie , we had a great time and the movie was just fine , WHATS SO BAD ABOUT THAT it was me and my family
"what I do care about is to interact with people that aren't making a total moron of themselves like you seem to be doing. "
Hey dumbo, monkey, yankee, confederate, chicken, HOHO, wench... you are the only one interacting with the moron, great now I am interacting with you and the moron...you suck!
Sucky sucky long time idiot
The people on this blog need to grow up....yes GROW UP!!!
My one and only New Year's wish is that when the New Year's ball drops so does your balls
" so does your balls"
I think you mean so do your balls.
Idoit
Hannah Montana ROCKS
Ans so do the Jonas Brothers
Don't take it so literally, I don't care if you are old or new school, what I do care about is to interact with people that aren't making a total moron of themselves like you seem to be doing
Funny the only person you are interacting with is said moron.
So sorry to hear that you are suffering from reindeer rectal inversion, because that is the only thing that I can think of that would have you feeling so grumpy.
How obscene. Funny that the guy being assaulted refrained from calling names or telling anyone to stop breathing. A decent joke turned into hate, Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas 2009 you hater
On the pilgrams article- next time if you are writing a supposed 'feel-good' story- why don't you write it about people who are from here, not more about our charities giving handouts to the 'poor hispanics' who are taking AMERICAN jobs and giving the AMERICAN charities a working over. They continually rape our community and now you are proudly putting them on the front page and saying 'awww...isn't that cute?? isn't it great how we just give and give to everybody but AMERICANS?- but you're right. I guess we as HARDWORKING AMERICANS are everyone's bailout- the hispanics have surely learned the formula! Ola'
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you- whatever your traditions may be. I, for one, enjoyed the 'misery' stories below-they're somewhat exagerated but ironically enough loaded with many truths. Embrace the moment I say- it is the most crazy, insane, and nerve racking holidays that you can laugh about later or that will make you thankful for all the other moments. Life is to be lived and enjoyed and the madness of the holidays and crazy relatives are two of the most important ingredients!!

Amen brother! (or sister) I was thinking the exact same thing.
I was wondering if they were here legally.
Careful, your racism is showing.
If you had read the article - it was in English by the way - you would have seen that it was HISPANICS giving TO HISPANICS.
That still doesn't answer the question: Legal, or illegal?
If they are here legally, and they stood in line and did it right, then more power to them. If not, then they can go back to wherever they came from and stand in line, and maybe then I will care about them having a ahrd time making it here in the good ol' U. S. of A.
Call it whatever you like. I know you liberals like to throw the word racism around, but we conservatives like to use the word Patriot. A person who doesn't like to see their homeland taken advantage of and overran by foreigners. Bringing there own cultures and destroying ours.. bringing their own rules and ignoring ours.
I guess "Pilgrim" must be the new PC buzzword for ILLEGAL ALIENS.
Oh wait, my racism is hanging out.
Dangling even.
assuming a person of a certain color is an illegal alien is not different than assuming a black person standing on the street corner is an unemployed criminal.
assuming that a bunch of hispanics that work at creekstone are illegal is like assuming that water is wet.
