Bah!

I have three more days of work this week, so it's time for the Scrooge in me to let out a "humbug" or two. So although I love Christmas more than I love Fresca, here's a list of all things Christmas that I could do without ( Read more... )

holidays, rant

Can I add all-green and all-red Christmas lights to the list?
'Tis a mighty good list, though I have to admit I LOVE wrapping presents.
Humbug!

Yeah, if they're going to be all one color, it's gotta be white. C'mon.

Yeah those all red lights make it look like the house of satan. Seriously, all red lights just make me uncomfortable.

Add "Baby It's Cold Outside" to that list of songs, man. Jeeeez.

Haha, I don't mind that one as much, but that's mostly because of Elf. If I heard it more than a couple times per year, I'd be stabby.

First off, my single room in my senior year at WAC was pimpin' with the all blue Christmas lights. Don't knock them. :P

Secondly, you guys should go see Rocky Balboa for the holidays. I know I will within the next two weeks.

Rocky Balboa...looks good. I'm flabbergasted.

Lots of fiery death to #5. But I do like blue christmas lights.

fishymcb December 19 2006, 05:11:10 UTC

I guess the blue lights are too dark for me. I just think it sort of negates the point of having lights.

At least you left "Jingle All ther Way" off your list. It's a holiday classic!

That was once one of our holiday movie outings. At least it had Phil Hartman, and the immortal scene with Arnold charging through the city chanting, "DasherDancerPrancerVixenCometCupidDonnerBlitzen!"

Seriously, we've seen a few good ones over the years, such as Toy Story and Toy Story 2, and Monsters Inc (we bent the rules for that one). But check out some of the pure and utter crap: Family Man, Jack Frost (not the delightful horror movie with Shannon Elizabeth being reamed by a carrot -- the one where Michael Keaton dies on Christmas and haunts his family in snowman form...not as much fun as it sounds)...eugh. Last year, my sister and I took the reins and convinced my folks to see Ice Harvest. And for some reason, they don't like their Christmas films to be full of sex, murder, and f-bombs. Well, NOW we know.
