Christmas Eve

[Desdinova]

I've been ill over the past few days, and my fat orbiter's been catering to my sick ass. If that chick wasn't such a porker, she'd be a keeper. She invited me to her family's Christmas dinner this eve, but I turned it down.

This eve, I've got no woman, no family, but I've got plans to cook some steak and veggies over the fire. I've got some home brew that's gonna go great with my meal. I might put on a movie in the bedroom afterwards and just have a mellow evening.

I thrive extremely well on my own, so I'm gonna embrace it.

My kid's coming over tomorrow, we're gonna open presents, and I'm gonna cook my kick ass french toast for breakfast. My kid absolutely loves spending Christmas with me.

What about you? What are you all doing?

That sounds like a good Christmas to me. Do you really have no family though? Or do you just choose not to associate with them? I too choose to keep my circles as small as possible.

I am actually working all around the holidays this year. Going to make a big ass breakfast tomorrow morning as well. I do have the wife and kids, so they'll do the Santa Clause thing. We do have my parents and the in-laws in town, but they are OK and are selectively chosen. But I'll be working again Friday. Keeps things manageable for me.

Does anyone else fvcking hate Christmas? I try not to be a negative person most of the year, but on this holiday, I just give up.

Christmas has a way of amplifying anything you don't like about your life, your family, or your relations with that family. Issues that are easily ignored or forgotten the rest of the year always come out.

I was the only kid I knew growing up who hated Christmas. Every year was a giant screaming argument between my parents, and we were poor so I never got sh!t anyway. Everyone telling you that you're supposed to be happy just makes it worse.

I was out on a meet-the-parents dinner with a girlfriend once. Her dad was a grumpy retired cop. He said that he hated Christmas. I was surprised and said "You hate Christmas?" He thought I was going to give him a lecture about how great it was. Instead I said, "I thought I was the only one who hated Christmas." He loved me for that. We were buddies afterward. That girl said he never liked any of her boyfriends as much as me.

The old Seinfeld bit about Festivus and the annual airing of grievances is spot-on accurate. I notice that a lot of people's holiday interactions with their family are lubricated with booze. Thanksgiving and Christmas are two of the busiest times for liquor stores.

I order all the presents I buy from one wholesale company. They are still sitting in the box they came in. I suppose I should wrap them, but I'm not sure it will happen.

On the bright side, Boxing Day is coming up. I think it's my favorite holiday, because it means Christmas is over.

New Years (and especially the New Years Eve Countdown) is my favorite holiday. I liked Christmas growing up (due to the Ninja Turtle toys I would get to open up lol, along with the Christmas break where I got to play with my new toys for 2 weeks) but today I see Christmas for what it is.....a marketing ploy to stimulate the Economy.

That's really all it comes down to. Thanksgiving (with the Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals associated) and Christmas are just the Government's way of free marketing and promotion to retailers, the travel industry, hospitality industry, the movie industry, the entertainment industry, etc. to stimulate their industries which stimulate the economy.

If you actually have a family structure (which I don't), then Thanksgiving and Christmas shouldn't be the only times of the year you guys all get together. You guys should all be getting together on a weekly basis at minimum.

That sounds like a good Christmas to me. Do you really have no family though?

Other than my kid, I don't have family to celebrate with. My parents don't do anything and haven't since I was a kid. But that's fine, my steak is defrosting and I'm gonna cook some kick ass veggies. Everyone else can enjoy their boring dry turkey and stuffing. Classic traditions were made to be broken.

I don't get gifts from anybody, so I buy my own 5hit online. When it shows up in the mail, it goes straight under the tree.

Doing my own thing is so much better than bytching about having nothing and nobody for Christmas.

 

[Die Hard]

I got no one either, lol. Don't care anymore... I used to care in the past, felt lonely and a bit sad etc. But now I don't, I simply got used to it.

I treat myself to nice food, drink wine and watch multiple episodes of a show, or a movie.

I understand where you're coming from, Bible_belt. I got a tip for ya, go watch the movie "Bad Santa"!

This statement makes you seem like a butthurt black dude, or even a troll. Just sayin...

 

[Desdinova]

Play nice children, or Santa won't bring you a dripping vagina to shove your North Pole into.

Something good happened last night. My cat went missing two weeks ago, so I posted him on the Lost Cat Facebook group. I was contacted last night by someone who found him.

When the stores are back open, I'll be getting them an alcoholic thank you gift.

[zekko]

Full disclosure I didnt make it to the gym until 3am bc I went out for drinks with my buddies.

Aha! Full disclosure, also known as the rest of the story.
I bet if we got full disclosure for all of the stories here on SoSuave we might get a much different picture on a lot of things.

Interesting, I had recently been listening to a radio show where they were talking about racial stereotypes and food. Like they were talking about how friend chicken gets associated with black people unfairly, since pracitically everybody likes fried chicken. Sh!t, I just had some fried chicken about 10 minutes ago, and I'm white.

Anyway, they were saying that they couldn't think of any stereotypical food for whites, but I see maybe they didn't use their imagination well enough. In addition to schnitzel, I might add quiche. I've never had gnocchi.

Have you ever seen a Church's Chicken that wasn't in the ghetto? I haven't. It's like it's their business plan to only put them in the ghetto.

Fried chicken is Southern food, aka soul food. Southern cooking has its origins in the cheapest food they could make to feed to slaves, with some influence from the foods brought from Africa, like okra. Today soul food just means cheap food for poor people, mostly in the South.

I grow a lot of it, like okra, collard greens, cow peas, turnips, and sweet potatoes. All of those crops are the easiest and most efficient ways to create the most food possible out of a patch of ground, especially in the hot weather of the South and all the bugs that come with it. They tend to be challenging to cook, but really good to eat if you know how to prepare them.

On an unrelated note, happy Boxing Day! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boxing_Day

I don't see why people make a big fuss over stereotypes, especially when they FIT the group!

- When I see a Tanning Salon, I stereotype that with white people, is it wrong for me to do that?

- When I look at Wallstreet, I stereotype that with white men who look like Mitt Romney, is it wrong for me to do that?

- When I think of Gangsta Rap Music, I stereotype that with black men, is it wrong for me to do that?

- When I think of Basketball, I stereotype that with black men, is it wrong for me to do that?

- When I think of Weave, I stereotype that with black women, is it wrong for me to do that?

If one hates the stereotype then CHANGE the behavior. Unfortunately, black people are associated with the worse stereotypes as blacks as a whole embrace DUMB shyt on a daily basis.

I wish

1 red pepper stuffed with meat and rice in a tomato sauce, a mall lightly breaded piece of veal schnitzel, cream gorgonzola gnocchi with mushrooms, some salad, and a mocha chocolate whey protein shake with a banana, peanut butter, and creatine mixed in.
