Hrm, so you didn't have an aquarium when you were little. Not that it replaces real sand, but anyway. You don't have the tradition of someone dressing up as Santa and giving out the presents pretending he really is Santa? Either someone from the family or a professional Santa who gets paid really well. Your experience sounds traumatizing. : /
Poor David, you don't know what you just got yourself into. So I went and translated them - well, tried, anyhow. With major assistance from my two dictionaries and an online one. I have a very inadequate vocabulary, it seems. But I took this as a useful exercise... And by the way, if there are words that have more than one meaning, the one I meant is probably the one that's closest to nature. I hate translating stuff, you must now suffer the clumsiness of the translations.

We used very small rocks in the aquarium, which wasnt around until my adolescence.
Well you would encounter people dressed as Santa in department stores to entertain kids (an example of this would be the film Miracle on 34th Street, if you watch it, watch the original, not the remake from the 90s). Also he might show up at say a church Christmas party or whatnot, but on Christmas day or eve, no, no Santa in sight. You would hear of him going from house to house... turn on the evening local news and the weatherman might speak of the radar picking up satellite making his normal runs to deliver presents, always in a timely fashion, and when you would awake the next day the presents would be under the tree.
Practice makes perfect. =)
I like a lot of those words. Except for gaudy, not a fan of that one I must admit.
Actually, so did we. It could have been a sea fish tank... I guess... Hmph.
I think I've seen a music video where a mall Santa starts doing something silly and kids look terrified... On TV it was anyway. The film you mentioned isn't familiar to me, surprise surprise. I should've remembered the picture of Christmas presents under the tree (I keep writing that with h), that's one thing people usually say when you ask them about American Christmas (if you ignore the Santa stuck in the chimney scene).
Gaudy as gaudy or as Korea, why do I think it's the latter?
Hmm... I'm not sure if I have either. I guess we'll need to look for one if we happen to run into each other in a windy place some day.
I saw a cartoon where a little black kid, annoyed he didnt get chrome rims for Christmas, even though he doesnt have a car or can even drive one, was going after a mall Santa with a pellet gun... Its a humorous political show called The Boondocks actually, by a black man named Aaron McGruder.
I do associate the general Christmas with presents under the tree though in a faith sense I think of it as Christ's Mass.
I think gaudy as in over the top decoration to the point of tastelessness.
Perhaps. Though I dont think kites would be on my mind if I bumped into you in person.
Ouch, that would have been amusing to see. The whole show probably.
Nowadays I think of family and red curtains whenever anyone mentions Christmas. And that smell of an orange that my mother ruined last Christmas by sticking some odd spice in it, it was so awful that it was almost pleasant. It'd be neat if my family regarded it as a religious time of the year, but as they don't, it's hard for me to think of it that way either. Oddly I do consider Easter to be rather religious. I love going to church around Easter...
Ah, it just surprised me because you didn't say anything about grief and grave and lukewarm and gravel. Okay, gaudy as the thing is not good but then again some of the things behind those words are more or less neutral. Like churn... Nothing special in it.
Hmm who knows how boring I could turn out. Kites beat me 6-0!
