It amazes me that we seem to have a culture where it honestly isn't seen as weird that people pay for things they don't want or need with money they don't have.

Fixed that for you.

Found out what we're doing for Christmas! My bff/nextdoor neighbor invited us and my mom over for Christmas dinner. I'm so excited. Thanksgiving was a little sad because it was just three of us and now we'll get to have a if fun dinner.  :-) And apparently my bff's  husband's family shares the tradition of seeing a movie on Christmas day, so we'll probably do that with them, too! Huzzah! This pretty much made my day yesterday, as I've been in such a slump lately.

I used to rail against the commercialisation of Christmas but I've come to the acceptance of it as part of  our culture. After all we commercialise everything else to breaking point, Christmas isn't so special that it doesn't deserve the same treatment.

[snip; signed, Pat]

Yet the heads of each branch of the faith could easily command the ear of the media and the people to openly condemn and divorce themselves from this. It's a shame that they don't have the spine to do so.

Dude, the corporate machine is already well aware of the fact we hate Black Friday. They just don't fucking care because they know you're not going to do anything about it. I saw a matching pair of car commercials the other day that beautifully highlighted this. First one I saw was two men, neighbors, talking to each other. First guy says to the second guy, who has a black eye, "Jeez, what happened to you?" and he responds "Black Friday. Got up early. Saved hundreds. How'd you make out?" or something. First guy says back, "Oh, you know. Slept in. Saved thousands." And he turns to look at his brand new Cadillac or whatever the fuck. And the women's one (because men and women aren't allowed to talk to each other on TV, duh) is the same idea, except substitute "black eye" for "messy hair, no makeup" and all that good lot (because women are never violent ever and all that matters is their looks, duh).

On a related note, every time I hear a sleigh bell, it's like the full moon to a werewolf. I fucking hate sleigh bells in commercials, in music, on a goat, in a boat, I DO NOT FUCKING LIKE THEM SAM I AM STOP WITH THE UEFHEOIJRGF SLEIGH BELLS FUCK YOU

Well, that too, but I'm really talking about the fact that it is seen as completely normal that we buy houses for thousands and thousands of pounds/dollars and then spend our entire lives paying that money back, or get an education which we will be paying for throughout or working lives, and also that people get a new sofa because they want one but they can't afford to pay for it yet so they will pay for it next year, for more money.

I'm not saying I don't do this too - I have a scary amount of student debt (I got my first "you're due to start repaying!" letter the other day... fortunately since I have an income of -£2500 I won't have to actually make any payments) and I will probably take out a mortgage. It just seems so odd.

Getting a mortgage is a weird experience. It's a meeting at a bank or some-such and they give you thousands upon thousands of your local currency and right after that ... a house and responsibility for the house and the money ... whilst all the time you just want to go back to playing snake on your telephone. (It's been a while.)

But you're right. Credit cards are from the devil.

Lately I've taken the position of opposing new holidays just for fear they may become commercialized.  Anna Jarvis should be an example to us all.

Credit cards are from the devil.
A credit card is a tool, like a knife. You can injure yourself with a knife too. Just always bear in mind that any money you don't pay off each month is about the most expensive money you will ever borrow, unless you go to a payday-loan outfit, loan-shark etc. Don't do that. But you all know all this stuff already.

My credit card may have cost me a shitload of money, but it's also saved my ass a couple of times. Once I've got it paid off I'm going to keep it so I can use it as a kind of savings account, and occasionally use to buy something that I then immediately pay off to bump my credit rating up.

CHRISTMAS LIGHTS!! We went for a drive in the snow last night and found some good ones.
This little cul-de-sac at the bottom of a hill had some serious lights going on.

These two had, between them, pretty much every decoration available in town.

And this is my house, which is boring by comparison but one of the more lit up ones on the street.

"A Viking Christmas Poem"

'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the Hall

Not a creature was stirring, not warrior nor thrall.

And I in my armor, my shield and my helm

Was drunker than anyone else in the Realm.

I staggered upstairs and fell into bed

While four quarts of mead were ablaze in my head.

Then up from below came the sounds of a brawl

So I grabbed up my axe and ran down to the Hall.

I missed the last step and crashed down in a heap

Thinking, “Why can’t those low-lifes downstairs go to sleep!”

When what to my wondering eyes should appear

But two brawny strangers, wielding mallet and spear.

I said to myself, “We’ll soon have them beat!”

Then I noticed ten warriors laid out at their feet.

I gave out a yell and leapt into the fray..

I’ll always regret my poor choice of that day.

For the one laid his hammer to the side of my nose

And up, up, up to the rafters I rose.

Then came a lone frightened voice from the floor,

"Those are no mortal warriors — that’s Odin and Thor!"

Then they looked at each other and they said,"Battle’s done.

Now they know who we are, it no longer is fun.”

Then Thor raised his hammer, and his elbow he bent,

And with a loud crash, through the ceiling they went.

I crawled through the Hall and flung open the door,

Not really sure that I’d seen them before.

The snow bathed in starlight, the moon like a glede,

I saw them ride off on an eight-legged steed

.And I heard them exclaim, ‘ere they flew out of sight,

"TO HELA WITH CHRISTMAS, WE JUST LOVE A GOOD FIGHT!"

Quote
Man Leaps to His Death in Shopping Mall After Girlfriend Insists on More Shopping
by Jon David Kahn 9 Dec 2013, 12:20 PM PDT CHINA - a 38-year-old man leaped to his death after an argument with his girlfriend who insisted they continue shopping. CCTV captured Tao Hsiao and his girlfriend in a mall in Xuzhou, Jiangsu province, east China where they had reportedly been shopping for five hours or so before he hit his limit.
Eyewitnesses said Hsiao could be heard telling his girlfriend that they already had more bags than they could carry, but she insisted on hitting one more store where there was a sale on shoes.

An eyewitness said: "He told her she already had enough shoes, more shoes that she could wear in a lifetime, and it was pointless buying any more. She started shouting at him, accusing him of being a skinflint, and of spoiling Christmas. It was a really heated argument."

The argument continued until Hsiao threw the bags on the floor and himself over the balcony, dropping seven stories to his death and smashing Christmas decorations on the way down. He was killed on impact.

A spokesman for the mall said: "His body was removed fairly quickly. He actually landed on one of the stalls below and then fell to the floor so although the store was damaged it meant he didn't hit anybody.

"This is a tragic incident, but this time of year can be very stressful for many people."

It's Breitbart with no sources that I really saw, but I can totally emphasize with this guy.

Even if it was true, there must have been something else going on with his mental state and a lot of details missing. That video pissed me off. It reduced his death to a joke (Seriously, he got "the last laugh"?) and the girlfriend probably feels guilty and horrible enough without people making fun.

Handed in my Secret Santa present for work. We do it a strange way where we're not assigned a person, we just bring a gift and then people who brought gifts are given one back randomly. We open them just after the staff do meal.
It is strange but I think it takes a lot of pressure off of us because since people get steady rota shifts, you might get someone you have barely worked with and know nothing about them. Since it's just random, people bring in silly things, mostly alcohol based, like shot belts or dirty Christmas gimmick stuff like penis ornaments.

One of my husband's friends said he wanted to see him in a Christmas sweater on our Christmas card, which is never ever ever going to happen, but I ended up making a little drawing on his card which turned out kind of cute. Now I kind of want to use it for next year's cards or something.

Merry Christmas from the Westbrooks!

I was told to expect to eat arroz con gandules y paleta de cerdo asado for Boxing Day dinner, my uncle makes that meal every year in the same portions and demands that I stop by to eat with him on the 26th so he has someone to eat it besides him...damn good eating, even if he always makes the pork shoulder a little salty.
