and a Festivus for the rest of us

How was my Christmas? It wasn't really. The Christmas part of my December 25th was about fifteen minutes long and ended with my cousin going home crying. Yay for holidays!

( Annual anti-Christmas rant. )

Huh... I never understood why do u in USA celebrate Christhmas... =\ We in Russia Celebrate the coming of the new year, and it's equal for every one=)
P.s. And yeah our celebrating differs a lot from yours I guess... We try to gather a great bunch of friends, alcohol, drugs, girlfriends, and make a Big-Bada-Boom party... With a ending in the middle of the Red Square with a bottle of Champagne=)))) I guess that's the russian way=)
P.s.2. Ur userpic is just f@ckin' GREAT!!!!=)

Yeah... And never also understood why do u celebrate it in the 25th of December (we celebrate the Coming of the New Year at 31-st)...

See, we actually do that too a week after Christmas. We're crazy, commercially obsessed Americans. We just celebrate everything we can so we can somehow manage to get more STUFF.

Angie, you have a point. But see, I'm still all Christian-like, so I have a real live (well, not live anymore... kinda) reason to celebrate.

Hey, I'am not a Nationalist of any kind, so don't be so rude, and place somewhere a smile=)

Rude? katiethewriter December 26 2005, 21:52:51 UTC

I wasn't being rude at all. I was just saying that we celebrate Christmas mostly so we can get more stuff. That's what we Americans are literally obsessed with. We may have tons and tons of things that most other people in other countries would (and do) kill for, and yet we always want more. That's all I was saying. I wasn't being rude, or even trying to be. I was just stating a fact. (PS: This isn't rudeness either. More fact-stating. *wink*)

Re: Rude? fiend_of_sound December 26 2005, 21:59:41 UTC

ok... ok... maybe i chose the wrong word... But see... U are saying it a bit too seriously... And I just think of it as a sarcasm... U see... it's the same as if I would say that we Russians love to drink Vodka from Samovar, with Bears (who love playing the Balalaika), and ofcourse we always do this at the Red Square=)
What u said, sounded 'same=)

Re: Rude? fiend_of_sound December 26 2005, 22:01:45 UTC

...Yeah, and ofcourse we do this, sitting on a Nuclear Warhead!=))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Re: Rude? katiethewriter December 26 2005, 22:10:34 UTC

Ahh. Yeah, it actually was sarcasm. In my mind "rudeness" is an elevated and nastier form of "sarcasm." I was completely confused when you said "rude" because I was like, "uh. I was... joking?"

Anyway. Have a happy New Year's celebration! I've got to scoot. After-Christmas sales await!

Re: Rude? acangie December 26 2005, 22:49:15 UTC

Enjoy the after-Christmas sale madness!

You made me want to search for BM icons.

Re: Rude? acangie December 26 2005, 23:46:17 UTC

Why am I not surprised?

Re: Rude? horsie December 26 2005, 23:52:05 UTC

Because you shouldn't be.

Re: Rude? acangie December 26 2005, 22:48:51 UTC

Your celebration sounds better than ours! :)

Re: Rude? fiend_of_sound December 26 2005, 23:07:39 UTC

If I ever get to visit u, in december, I'll show u, what it means to celebrate the ending of the year, in Russian Style=) But I guess We'll have some trouble with getting all the ingridients, but I'll do everything it takes=)

Re: Rude? fiend_of_sound December 26 2005, 23:09:41 UTC

The biggest problem will be i guess the Red Square =)

Re: Rude? acangie December 26 2005, 23:46:48 UTC

Someday! I'll look forward to it. :)
