Topic: I'm not feeling the Christmas spirit, forum.
Meta !Sober//iZs started this discussion 6 years ago#94,434
I feel it less and less every year. I think it started about age 16. I'm just tired of it. I don't want to give or receive presents. I don't want to hear Christmas music. I don't want to see Christmas tress. I don't give a fuck about Santa or whatever.
It's even worse because there's no snow here. It was 71 degrees today. It will be 82 tomorrow. How the fuck am I supposed to think about sleigh bells and reindeer when it's so warm you have to run the air conditioning and wear short sleeves? ?
I think I'm weird because a lot of people I know, adults - many older than me - are excited about it. What the fuck is wrong with me?

I've got the Christmas period nailed down. I tell everyone I know and my family that I'm busy so I can spend it alone. I have a cosy flat I can stay warm in.

God I wish staying warm was something I wanted. It's still so fucking hot. I just would like one really cold day this year.

AS Ex-Jew and fresh from December Nights which used to be known as Christmas on the Prado, I have been infused with the Spirit of Christmas and had a chance to spend time and buy several Muslims spiced cider and some Scottish and Ukraine food 2nite with lots of fun discussions of Jesus who the Muslims I spent time with Respected and had so much history re Quran about Jesus and new far more about Old and NewTestamentt than I did
Every year as Ex Jew I am more and more looking 4Ward to Christmas for the Pomp n Circumstance ( Christmas Lights are Super Fun) Christmas Food can B Super Cool

So do you think I'd get more out of Christmas if I first converted to Judaism, and then deconverted? ?

Might could B - Given no one asked me IF I wanted 2B Jewish in the first place and then Made me even More Jewish by pardon the expression Cutting me Off and all without MY Permission - I have made it a point of running away from such religion.
I learned a lot about Jews in a very respectful way from many a Muslim 2Nite - Huge Major Respect -
Alas IF U were 2Do as I did as Adult - In love with a Jewish Girl and very very close ready to Marry her - Until she asked me to join her at the most holy of Jewish Ceremonies. Super Liberal Version of Judaism. Yet the men most married with families followed the Old Testament rules of drinking Wine - Bible gives number of glasses YOU have to Drink and that is ON AN EMPTY STOMACH After Fasting Until Midnight - Got that Empty Stomach with Huge Full Glasses of Wine consumed for hours and Hours B4 eating Real Food.
Kids crying like crazy - Kids Starving like so much the Law should Step in - Dads so drunk all they could do was dance with EACH OTHER - Makes me angry to type this OUT - Alas that celebration saved me from a Marriage as well as agreeing to an Abortion
Don't get me started on the Jewish Religion
AND THEN THEN there is that Hasidic Rabbi in New York with Herpes who's only job is to slice and dice newborn babies Penis - And Rabbi sucks baby cocks and gives Baby Herpes and the community refuses to get rid of such sick Rabbi.

Oh that's odd, you gave a whole different bunch of reasons awhile back about a divorce from a woman because of being suddenly upset about her beginning to delve into religeon and you liking to do your thing and her instead making things all about the religeon and it bugging you constantly.

Are you suggesting Syntax has been caught in a lie? How dare you question a man who once convinced Pan Am to break every legal protocol in the industry by letting him gas up their 747 with his credit card.

With respect my friend, these things are not the meaning of Christmas, and quite honestly it's unsurprising you feel no joy at the prospect of a season of hollow commercialism and cynical capitalist iconography. Take Jesus into your heart and you'll feel the true joy of Christmas. Bless you friend.

Manischewitz is pretty gross. It's like Welch's grape juice with vodka and extra sugar added. Like you get a headache just from all the damn sugar they add. I mean even if the sobriety/alcohol thing wasn't an issue, I would just opt for regular grape juice. It's that bad.

Mark Twain wood approve of your sperling "religeon" as such.
Your reading of what I said about why I needed to get a diveroce (yes there are many ways to spel it) is very lacking in reasons I have explained.
AND AND When I think about Fri/Sat nite and how I wood Never have learned to Dance because as Married sure we wood slow dance on rare occasion - Like the Wedding cause everyone has too - and out at some club - BUT Nothing like what I do NOW - A HUGE HUGE number of great friends and last night people who travel to San Diego for Gator by the Bay - People from Oregon Washington State Texas and a Wonderful super cute just graduated as Scientist from New Hampshire, came to December Nights and only because bad weather kept her from Friday nite - She reminded me that once I asked her for a dance and she said NO thank you - but the next year she wanted to No why I never ask her to dance - Weird and I told her about the rejection and she cannot remember why she said no thank you -
Never the less I did dance with her and later SHE Said can we do a couple more - So I broke a rule about two dances in row with same partner and we did three.
None of this wood have occurred IF I had remained Married - 12 Great years of Marriage but the last 4 Not so Much - Less and Less until I found my self so happy with friends and doing things with them to avoid coming home - Nor did I Fuck around - Was Loyal to a fault - Had some GREAT opportunities and SHOULD HAVE - My wife had no clue a few of her best Girlfriends were more than just flirting with me - Truth is however that I was not attracted to any of them anyway - One I had to ask to go put a bra on and that is for details some other tyme

Awesome story. Now tell us the one about the time you convinced a major American airline to break every single legal protocol and let you gas up a commercial 747 with your credit card.

Did you actually read the article? That plane had been diverted to an airport in fucking Damascus at the height of a war that only took cash. YOUR claim is that you were on a major US airline on a scheduled flight out of Paris, an airport with abundant Pan Am ground staff. So yeah, nice try at Trumpian doubling down but you have yet again dug yourself an even deeper hole.

My mistake. Spain, not France. And nice pedantry. Still not a diverted flight to a Middle Eastern hellhole in the middle of a fucking war at an airport that only accepted cash. Your claim is that you paid by card on a scheduled flight in an airport where there was ground crew representation.

TWA was just 3 weeks later BANKRUPT - Pilots Credit cards were probably 6 months behind or more in payments -
Hey shit happens - And good for you to remember it was Spain - Doubt it wood have made much of a difference where we landed - If a credit card is going to be denied in Spain - It wood get denied anywhere cause u damn well no how that works -
Betting they found a way to cover that problem to at least keep flying for a few more weeks -
Remind me to tell about how with a Broken major heavy piece of hardware on a plane that BROKE as ALL Fuck - I figured out how to get that plane off the ground n get me and others HOME - Just a simple suggestion

I should add in my family we do gifts on Christmas Eve, in the continental European tradition (which the British royal family does as well, incidentally). This conveniently leaves Christmas Day free for visiting people and whatnot.
It's also just nice to do the same thing royalty does. It's just fancier.

Currently the Royal Family is reported to be downsizing because a Prince pulled a TG-Comix re underage molestation.
This Christmas eve with the Royal Family will probably be somewhat Somber.
