I've already gone into my annual "luxury car and jewelry commercials make me mopey and very anti-christmas" mode.

Hooray!

It's weird, I am actually excited about the coming holiday.

You know what IS fucking awesome about christmas though?

BBC America is showing the Doctor Who Christmas Special ON christmas this year, instead of like, March.

i am so excited to decorate. i'm at a standstill until we get our tree this weekend, though.

I put my Christmas tree up weeks ago! It is only small but it is nice at night when the lights are on. I also have more presents under it now.

Blue Kitty · « **Reply #6 on:** 30 Nov 2010, 16:07 »

My family needs to get a new fake Christmas Tree, the old on was so far gone that the bulbs had started to burn out. I don't think this Christmas will be different then any other, but I hope that I can see my girlfriend a little more this year. Last year she had to work till 6 and by then it was her with me at my family's house.

Also, last year I sang christmas carols in the buff on Princes Street:

I'm excited to buy presents! Though I don't know what to get my mom, which is not good, because hers is the most important gift! But my roommates are getting fun things and I think I may get my D&D friends something D&D related. Also we're going to have a Christmas/graduation dinner! (One of my roomies will graduate in a week and to celebrate, she wants to have a Christmas themed dinner party.) It's going to be fun!

Linds I got my mum and gran some beautiful prints from Etsy! I also got Mum a selection of beautiful Japanese quilting fabrics and some printed labels for her patchwork stall.

At work we have started playing Christmas music. Specifically, we play Andrea Bocelli's My Christmas on a loop. I heard the song "Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town" eight times this evening. Repeated listens led me to pick out a contradiction of sorts in the lyrics. When Mr. Bocelli sings, "He knows if you've been bad or good, so be good for goodness' sake" I don't think he realises that if he is being good to appease a jolly old elf he is not, in fact, being good for the sake of being good. He is being good because he fears Santa's oppressive vision. He sees you when you're sleeping and knows when you're awake, after all. He is omnipresent and unmerciful. In Santa's panopticon your every action is determined by the fascistic bureaucracy of two lists checked twice. Old St. Nick is elevated to the level of a vengeful god; his arrival is a harbinger of judgment. The ring of sleigh bells signifies the Second Coming. The lump of coal in your stocking will fuel the fire that lashes your supple flesh for eternity.

I just put up mistletoe, in other news.

I am not sure how I shall afford Christmas this year, but I'm sure I will. Christmas tree is going to go up on the weekend. Looking forward to it. I like Christmas (though with my new job I will be working everyday over the holidays so I don't get to enjoy Christmas this year.

Blue Kitty · « **Reply #22 on:** 30 Nov 2010, 18:11 »

Thankfully this year only every other song is a Christmas music song at my work, though they are usually the crappy remakes that I hate so much.

Then again I am not a big fan of Christmas music unless it is Feliz Navidad or I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas

Gurren Lagann is the best present ever, you have chosen well!

My Christmas won't be out of the ordinary in any way, but it's the best time of the year in any case, so I am looking forward to it!

On that note though! Too cold this week (also too much snow) so we have pushed our nude singing to next weekend in the hope that it won't rain. I will be there after getting trashed at Balkanarama so with a massive hangover. Will see how that goes.

What, Prince's Street? Like, the main thoroughfare in Edinburgh? Or did you mean you can't remember in which city the street you're reminded of is?

Edit: I just double checked, and google will tell you where Prince's Street is.

I am excited about Christmas! I don't usually get excited but I have THE PERFECT GIFTS for like 80% of the people I want to buy for (basically my immediate family including foster family, and then anyone who is allowing me into their home between mid-December and the New Year which is to say a lot of people many of whom I haven't even met yet) and ideas for the rest and I am so organised it is amazing, everything will be done by the 16th (it has to be because I am fleeing the country). The only problem is that I will have to carry presents for at least six people in my suitcase when I FLY TO NORWAY FOR TEN DAYS because I am then making an epic journey round London and its environs and seeing so many people I am so excited I have been stuck in the Welsh borders for what feels like months but is only really two weeks but it is so dull here and I see maybe four different people in a day and one of them is usually the postman and another is my mother and another is my stepdad and the last one is the farmer who swears at his cows and that is not really fun and I am going to stop now.

There's a Princes street in a fair few cities, though admittedly most aren't main streets.

I just couldn't remember where it reminded me off.
