Hello again lads and gents, Its that time of the year again to dread going to the office Christmas parties.
To figure out what people you will be buying a gift for and what not.
Who you will be spending time with. And who will you avoid.
What you will be cooking.
What you will cherish the most from what has happened in your life this year.
Feel free to share.
Frozen pizza or whatever i can make in the microwave..
Spending time with myself and trying to avoid myself.
Bah humbug..
The only thing I am dreading is babyish behavior by my 2-year old niece and nephew. And I really am not thinking too much about that.
Now I feel like an idiot. I deleted the emails from my sisters saying what they want and would be embarrassed to ask for them again.

I take it you don't celebrate Christmas? Or do you just not have any family to eat and exchange presents with?

I use to really like Christmas. Past couple years, not so much.. A lot has happened in my life to change the situation. What doesn't kill us, makes us stronger and I'm ready to Hulk out haha
Currently looking for something Jags related to get my girls. I wanted to get them the pink Jags shirt, but... they don't have it in their size. I need to get them something Jags related before their mother contaminates them and makes them Eagles fans for life.
Gotta try to do more shopping this week. My wife keeps asking me what I want, but I really have no clue.
Hope everyone has a good holiday. Good luck with any shopping and cooking you have to do! (We're only having Turkey, though I'm making all kinds of candy).
I'm a broke college student who can't find work so I won't be buying gifts for anyone this year
.
I will be spending time with my parents, my brothers, my grandma, and my aunt and uncle. I won't be avoiding anyone except my incredibly annoying neighbor who will eat up half your day if you dare to let him start talking.
We'll be having ham.

My mom's an Eagles fan, my dad's a Dolphins fan, my older brother's a Panthers fan, my allegiance is obvious, and my younger brother is a Rams fan.
My parents utterly failed to incorporate us into their respective fan bases, haha. The plus side is that Sundays can be very interesting.
I'm going to be in the Pittsburgh burbs over holidays with the in-laws. Fun people and I like them. But looked the weather yesterday and the HIGH was 17. Yuk.

Have you considered volunteering? It might help you feel better. I'm a firm believer in the old truism that things could always be worse.
For instance, about a month ago a friend of mine had a serious motorcycle accident. He's going to be in the hospital and a rehab facility for months and isn't expected to walk until May. Plus, both arms broken. That's bad, but a couple of weeks after this happened his youngest child, 16-years-old, died of a drug overdose experimenting with something friends had given her. The sadness, despair, and hardship for that family right now is soul-crushing and it makes me thankful for the piddling troubles I have.
I'm in no way implying that your troubles are small, but perhaps helping others in equally or worse situations will provide some perspective and help to soothe your pains.
I'm looking forward to two and a half weeks off!

The Salvation Army, United Way, or the City Rescue Mission are always looking for volunteer help. It's been quite a few years but I've done a little work a time each with United Way helping build a wheelchair ramp for an elderly person and a clothing drive for the Salvation Army. I can tell you that they are verrrry grateful for a helping hand.

Can we skip the falling and stuff and just get straight to the beer and pain meds?

Dear God! Don't get them pink football stuff...unless you think that's the only way they would start wearing it! As a woman it bugs the snot out of me when I see that pink crap on someone!
I love football dang it and I don't need to girlie it up to support my team!!
The great thing about the jags is you've always got the animal print to go with...and what girl doesn't love animal print!!
Donating time is an excellent way to feel better about the holidays. You have to choose something you feel comfortable doing though. Some people like taking toys to sick kids in the hospital. That's something I really liked doing myself.

Pink is their favorite color. They are
very particular about the clothes they wear. Ash Grey might not be a bad idea though, and it seems the jags shop has them in stock.
I don't think pink is about 'girling it up' in any case though. Pink is just an appealing color to a lot of people, most of which happen to be girls. It's why most places offer shirts in black, white and grey.

Dude, take the 15-17 minutes and put it in the oven. Tastes so much better.
I'm taking WingerDinger out for beer and dancing girls because I think we both need it this year.

Check that. Disregard my previous post. I'm now hanging out with Ringo and WingerDinger for the holidays. I want beers, shots, and pain meds too. Can we find a way to get the nurses to double as dancing girls though?
:thanks:

You want a colt M4. I'll give you 600 for it. Since you didn't pay for it it's a great deal.
