Just finished putting Santa's gifts under the tree. Watched a few movies earlier tonight...."A Christmas Story" followed by "Christmas with the Kranks" which is actually pretty funny. I just about spit out my Diet Coke and Vanilla Vodka when I saw that Dan Akroyd was in it.

In addition to the vodka I've also had several Sleeman's Honey Browns.

I am a bah humbug. But yesterday I was feeling a little christmasy so when I was taking out the trash in our complex, I said "Merry Christmas" to the one person I saw as I was coming back.

Big Mistake.

The guy was like, "do you really mean that?" I figured this had to do with the "Happy Holidays" controversy so I said, "okay well how about Happy Holidays then?" And then he starts talking about the "true meaning of christmas" was long forgotten and the commericalization was the only thing most people were actually celebrating. Of course I readily agreed as this is part of my long standing bah humbug policy.

Guy takes me over to his car (where his buddies were waiting for him to leave). He hands me some magazine (which I wish I had read the cover of BEFORE I went back inside) and tells me there is an article in there dealing with the commercialization of christmas. Then he says, "Oh maybe I can come by sometime and we can discuss it." Sounded good I said. I never get to have any good quasi-religious discussions with my wife as she is pretty firm in her beliefs and doesn't entertain hard questions towards her choosen religious beliefs well.

Once I get home, I show my wife the magazine (while still not having had read the cover myself) and she says, "Errr..... he is a Jehovah's Witness honey." Damn it. So instead of throwing away the mag like she wanted me to, I go into the other room and read the article that he suggested before throwing it way. My wife asks, "Why are reading it?" I said "because this will give me the ammunition I need to cut our would-be conversion short when he comes by."

That is the last time I say "Merry Christmas" to a stranger again. Even myself as a bah humbug would never dream of spreading around my anti-christmas doctrine in response to somebody wishing me a "Merry Christmas". Nor do I care so much about the "Happy Holidays" controversy as we are in a country where the majority of people at least pretend to be practicing Christians.

Anyway.... Merry Christmas my non-stranger smammy friends! Happy Holidays to anybody who prefers it. And for the rest of you I imagine "Happy Kwanza" and "Happy Hanukkah" will hopefully suffice. Ahhh well I'm off to my parents. Got to get showered up and get going.

Jay, why don't you just enjoy yourself and quit worrying so much about everything? I'm having a great day, even if I'm spending most of it putting together toys and playing with my kids instead of debating the ins and outs of the commercialization of Christmas.

Merry Christmas, and if anyone doesn't like it, Merry Christmass anyway. Take it or leave it. I care not either way.

My surprise Christmas gift for Jen was a DVD I burned for her with all the video footage I had taken of her solo and group dancing performances. I did a neat professional-looking CD cover as well and put it in a spare jewel case. Called it "Jendance".

When she opened it up she looked at it for a second, thinking: "I don't know this group, why did Jeremy get me this CD?" Then the second thought was, "hey, that looks like me on the cover!"

Dance!

My parents found an old pen and ink I did from a cover of a copy of "Return of the King". They framed it and everything. I couldn't believe it. Awesome.

Merry Christmas, smammers!

Twisted Evil

I had a pretty quiet Christmas, but it wasn`t planned that way. My cousin & two daughters (all live in Tokyo) were going to come over to our place, stay the night, and have fun & games with video-conferencing to the UK, and making funny faces using Photo Booth on the TV.

Instead both girls had really bad upset tummies, and had to stay at home. Sad

So it was just the three of us (me, the s/o and my sprogette, Elena).

Santa on a cross is a suprisingly disturbing image.

Why is Santa on a cross? Confused

Anywhoooo, Merry and Smammy Christmas to you all! I've been partying pretty hard, and been coming home at around 4 in the morning the last 3 days in a row. Haven't been completely drunk, so no hangovers. Good x'mas this year. Lots of fun.
I tend to be the kind of person that takes any reason to be festive to go out and just have fun and meet people. This year I've made maybe 4 new friends. Met this hot girl but my friend likes her, so I doubt I'll be stuffing her stockings anytime soon. We shall see... Twisted Evil

My hot model friend is having her birthday party in two days, so I'm looking forward to meeting her and her model friends. Maybe I'll be get a late xxx'mas present after all... muahahahahaha!!!

Tis the time to be jolly indeed!!!

Oh, and I got a detachable penis for christmas. What I've always wanted. Shiney!
