I hate xmas to and the sleigh it rode in on...

Happy nonsecular inter denominational holiday to everybody.
Look Ma, no hands hehehe
Well I just made a chap a very happy chappie this evening....
I found a wallet lying on the road tonight near my local BP gas station.... (did a quick u-turn and no I didn't run into a cop car) got off the bike and picked it up and checked it out...
Credit cards, drivers license and $60 in cash inside...... so off to the copshop and handed it in...
Cop thanked me and took my number just in case the dude wanted to thank me.
Well one hour later my cell phone rung....... the dude had been to pick up his wallet and rung, me to thank me. And yep he had filled up the car and left the wallet on top of the car and drove off.
Nought worse than loosing your wallet right on xmas and have to deal with getting new cards and license etc.....
So the dude is now having a good xmas, without the stress of having no ID.
Rest In Peace
Great to see honest folks still abound,if I lost my wallet I'd hope to keep my personal stuff in it,money would be gone,would piss me off if they took the money and chucked the rest away.At least with my bank if I want an eft pos card they are available on demand,woohoo the TSB.
If I found a wallet I'd hand it in or try to contact person if details are in the wallet,after all what would you want if it happened to you.

You must be confusing Election time with some other time!
Christmas can be as stressfull or as relaxing as you make it...nothing fake about it here.

Well - its easy to see all the negative sides of Christmas - the exploitation by the retailers, the excesses that lead us into foolishness, the high temperatures and impatience, the glossy domestic perfection that none of us will ever live up to....
You don't have to buy into that.
You can decide to take another path and try to presenve the true spirit of both community, family and compassion that can be Christmas.
There are many places you can volunteer your time to help those whom life has dealt a rough hand, little acts of kindness that cost little but mean everything. You have no fiscal responsibility to climb onto the present bandwagon, set yourself free from it - Santa didn't invent expensive presents - the Grinch did, as well as those glossy catalogues.
I love Christmas - I love the old songs (I don't like rappers doing new christmas songs, it aint right), jigsaws, board games, crappy bon bons with the same old dumb jokes and a bottle of fizzy wine. If you can't find christmas this year - its at our place and you are welcome to come and join us - no presents required, just some simple food, drink and a bit of a laugh.
pm me if you want....

Now, that, folks, is the spirit of Christmas!
That is my type of Christmas...simple, open, fun filled and friendly.
As Paul says, you don't have to buy into all the hype designed to get you to open your wallet. Go looking for the good in Christmas, hell, go putting the good into Christmas, you may be pleasantly surpriesd.

I agree - FUCK Christmas!
A more hypocritical consumer driven frenzy I have never ever witnessed. People are stressing like right maniacs and don't give too much thought for their fellow man.
At least it's not that bad here in NZ - try going to Denmark and the shops start trying to bury you in Christmas catalogues from late September onwards.

Whats comsumerisim got to do with christmas?? Nothing if you don't let it....
Vicki and I are just off to mow someones lawn and clear some rubbish - daughter #3 and her boyfriend are helping 'cos I'm still not really too well and still unable to lift much - we are borrowing a friends trailer but have to wait till after lunch as they are doing something similar for someone else this morning... Thats Christmas (well OK I do this shit all year but thats not the point)
If you want to be a grinch - christmas is the perfect excuse but why not just open up your heart and do something, say something or just be NICE for no reason other than you can. Don't expect to get thanked 'cos there is usually no prospect of getting something back in return because most folks are shocked someone will be nice to them and it takes em a while to recover - THATS Christmas....

It is good to know that there are good people like you out there.
My point is just that it is absolutely ridiculous how feverently people are pursuing Christmas since they seem to forget what Christmas is about. Oh, that and the fact that the Christmas feast doesn't make much sense on the Southern Hemisphere to begin with. Christmas was placed on the 24th since that was the date of the traditional pagan celebration of mid-Winter Solstice.
Furthermore, people seem to forget about neighbourly love in their stressed out pursuit of the right presents and getting everything done for the holidays... And there is a high degree of irony in that fact.

One of the best gifts I ever received for Christmas was from my eldest daughter when she was 14. She had no part time job, and being the eldest of 6 kids pocket money just did not happen.
She made me a book of vouchers that had an expiry date of 12 months out. In it she put things like washing our car, babysitting, doing the ironing, cooking tea etc. There was 2 of each voucher and they came with a conditon that she could not say no, if I presented the voucher.
It was a gift that cost her nothing but her time and lasted the whole year. She is now 32 and I still remember that little booklet made with love.
I doubt I've ever had a gift that meant so much.

I think Fireball is anticipating a shit xmas... worrying bout xmas with my family etc... nothing to worry about at all... 'she'll be right'... (I am 100% that she'll enjoy what we get up to)
I do however dislike xmas advertising.... 'how many more days?'... argh... the sylvia park ad on the radio does my head in!!!...
