skymama 37 #1 December 20, 2007 Ugh, I hate getting Christmas cards that have glitter on them! There's glitter on my desk, jeans, keyboard and face now. Glitter wrapping paper sucks too, it takes forever to sweep it all up. I think if you send a card or present with glitter on it, that it's really a passive-agressive sign that you don't like that person! Let's make a thread about what sucks about Christmas. I'll start: Glitter The Chimpmunk song Fruitcake Anyone have anything else to add? Merry f'ing Christmas.

I think it would be awesome to go over unplug it and move it to my yard. I wonder how long I could get away with doing this before they said something.

My mother-inlaw used to send cards with glitter, I had the wife give her a hint. Glitter should be banished from the earth! I am NOT being loud. I'm being enthusiastic!

I'll start: Glitter The Chimpmunk song Fruitcake Anyone have anything else to add? Merry f'ing Christmas. Is it really that big of a deal? I dated a guy one time that was OCD about stuff, but was in denial in a major way. I used to move the CDs around (out of their alphabetical order) and watch him twitch and try not to show it as he was hurriedly putting them back in their 'place'Anyway, he was out of the country on his birthday and I sent a big box of stuff....of course cushioned with tons of the styrofoam packing peanuts. The best part, in the card was a bunch of confetti, not just any confetti, sparkly metallic confetti so that when he opened it it would fall out everywhere. Nothing says 'festive' like sparkly That was what broke him....the roommates said he spent an hour cleaning up confetti and finally admitted he was compulsiveI am just here to help Life is not fair and there are no guarantees...

jimmytavino 16 #21 December 20, 2007 agreed... the only Good Glitter is Snow Globe Glitter..... we loooove snow globes..... i've often wondered,,, how the hell do they seal that globe??? with all the liquid,,, and those trinkets, or figures etc... in there??? and.. how do they do it without leaving some sort of air bubble??? what sucks about Christmas??? any music other than genuine old time christmas carols,,,Silent night, Oh Come all ye faithful, Little drummer boy.. etc Sales at stores,,, which double the retail price first,,,, then discount it by 20 %...the MOBS of people who respond to such sales.. The inability to find parking close by to stores, Store parking lots, , not only full of cars, but full of snow and slush, as well.... NEVER having enough $$$$$$ to buy the things we'd LOVE to get for those important people in our lives,,,, spending alll we have to get something for someone, and then have them shrug their shoulders, and toss it aside,,, shortly after opening the gift.... people who worry about "what are they getting",, instead of "what are they Giving"... and finally...... idiots, who worry about How a snow globe is made....rather than being able to JUST enjoy it !!!!!Buon Natale jmy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shepp 0 #23 December 20, 2007 Quote Quote Stupid giant inflatable light up lawn ornaments. And when they are deflated during the day, it looks like the people have trash laying around in their yard! The other day I was driving past a house in my neighborhood and the front yard looked like a canopy factory had exploded! Piles of multicolor nylon everywhere - on the ground, hanging from trees, the roof... I had no idea what the hell it was until that night. Over 100 inflatable snowmen, all lit up. Very classy...Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterward. Accidents don't just happen. They must be carelessly planned.
