Raiyuu Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 [color=DarkGreen][font=Trebuchet MS]Foxboy, when you start a thread you need to set an example in terms of post quality. Specifically here, you need to set out what painful and joyful memories [b]you [/b]have of December. You can't expect people to respond from the heart if you yourself don't seem to care enough about the subject to post your own thoughts, ne?[/font][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Eighth Sin Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 December means that I've got to haul water and hay out to my horse who gets all weird in the winter and thinks he's wild. (He's really cute but after dragging gallons of water through knee high snow you wish he'd drink it instead of run away and let it freeze.) It also means that I've got to entertain my dad's monkey friends from work, put up with their dumb son, and see my family who doesn't really like me for some reason. On the plus side I'm out of school and my brother and sister aren't so I get to sit home and watch anime and Family Guy. :animesmil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tical's Foxboy Posted December 20, 2005 Author Share Posted December 20, 2005 sry about that I have good memorys of December me and my brother would hang out over christmas break every year and just do meaningless things last year at around this time me and my bro sword fought, with the dull ends of course and yet he only got me once I got him about 4 times. We quit after I injured his thumb it was black under the nail for about 3 weeks. But we spent the rest of the day just goufing off trying not to touch that thumb it was pretty funny seeing him trying to type on the comp because that was the thumb he would hit the space bar with. So he would forget about his thumb and press space bar with that thumb and he would get ideas one idea was to get cotton balls around his thumb that worked kinda. But really he counden't play video games for awile so that was a problem for us playing Halo 2 on co-op Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceRose Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 December means to me a time for getting together with the family, going to the cemetary for two cousins anniversary of their deaths (they died on Christmas last year) and also trying to be happy, December is not the best month for me.

fire_fly52 Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 This kinda of reminds me of that song My December. he he so December means being careful of ice so that a car crash does not happens, that is what scares me the most about winter. Getting the snowglobe feeling, you know watching the snow fall and maybe you will get to do that with the person you care about. December is like i time for family and friends. I am the person that more enjoys giving than getting. And just maybe you will get to find out you have more friends than you think. show that special person just how special they are and maybe they will do the same for you. (and your friends/family cant leave them out) so enjoy your December and be safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corey Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 [size=1]December hails the onset of the busy season for my job, which lasts until March. It's been that way for the three years I've been with the company. It's cold, wet, tiring work. But I'll be damned if you can find a better job where you can pull in $400 a week part time in the winter. Sledding is always fun. About a week ago, a friend of mine and I decided we wanted to check out this sledding hill at about two in the morning. So we head over there and find a broken and battered sled laying on the ground abandoned. I pick it up and head to the top of the hill, deciding on the way up that I'm going to go down on it. I take a running start, and fly down the hill. About a hundred feet from the bottom, I clip part of a jump that I didn't see coming. I do a barrel-roll in the air, and land on the broken part of the sled. It resulted in a few fair cuts on my face and neck area. Well worth it, though. And, as always, Christmas Time.[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sage Kaley Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Mmm to me December is a month of deep thoughts and emotional ups and downs. I say deep thoughts because I always end up getting very deary around New Years, reflecting on not just the year but my life in general. It's not always depressing but it generally is. The emotional part comes from Christmas. I really love Christmas to death but it's a holiday of fighting in my family. Not at all peaceful and nice. Some years it is. But not recently, with the death of my Grandma and a very ugly will fight. So to make the month brighter, I always think of the snow. I love the snow more than anything else. Well, you know what I mean. It's just so beautiful and always kicks my writing muses into gear. Snow is just an instant cheer-up for me. And speaking of writing, that is also what December is to me. Time off from school so I can write. It makes me so happy to just sit down and write for hours without worrying about anything. Ah and buying gifts for everyone and sending out cards! The only downside there is if I don't have enough money to get things from everyone. Ah well. Really I do love December ^^ It's not perfect but it's beautiful and relatively calming.

DBZgirl88 Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 [COLOR=#004a6f]I don't celebrate christmas because I am muslim, but I can't help but get a warm feeling when the christmas season arrives. I like seeing all the christmas lights on people's houses. I wish the muslim community in my city would do something more special during our holidays. My family puts up lights in Ramadan, but it kinda looks weird when it's the only house decorated and it's not december (Ramadan was in october this year). December also brings those fearful Christmas exams! But it also means a two-week break from school.[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People tell themselves it's about Christ but the sad truth is that our heads have been turned away. Does anyone even know why Chistmas is celebrated on December 25th? Jesus was burn in freikin April! When Constantine was ruler he was trying to make all the religions happy so he put all their holidays on one day. His people celebrated the Sun God stuff on December 25 so they moved Christmas to that date. Everyone has been turned away from Jesus and instead worship presents and money. Santa Claus is the portrait of these material things and so it is as though we worship Santa over the lord Christ! Now, I'm not religeous, but pondering it further, who would want to turn our heads from Christ? Satan, maybe? Let's make some comparisons... -Santa is Satan is you just move the 'n' a few spaces -He wears all red -His Workers are little pointy-eared demonic creatures -His sleigh is guided by reindeer which almost resemble goats -He turns us all to Greed and makes us forget Christ So if you still believe this is the celebration of Jesus's birthday, let me ask you -- What did YOU get Jesus for his birthday?

I think angelic catgirl meant that Christmas SHOULD be about Christ, and that the true meaning of Christmas has been perverted by society. Yes, our heads have been turned away, but that doesn't detract from the fact that the 'true meaning of Christmas' is Christ's birth, and all that loving charity good stuff. You're completely right - Constantine did superimpose Christmas on the other pagan holidays. He did this so that Christianity would be more readily accepted. And yes, Jesus was probably born in the Spring. But you miss the point - it's not about [i]when[/i] Christ was born, but the plain fact that he [i]was[/i] born. As for Santa Claus being a ploy to turn our heads from Christ or something akin to that... is it not society that has emphasized comsumerism? Was Santa not just an icon? Society exploited that icon, and made [i]Saint[/i] Nicholas stand for comsumerism, not charity. The rest of your parallels drawn between Santa and Satan are just conspiracy theory.[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renayiiq Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 December, to me, is being alone. The song "My December" by Linkin Park is my theme song for this dreadful time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's so right, and it's stuff like this that makes me glad that I'm Jewish (not that I don't get lots of presents for Chanukah :D ). December to me generally means the vacation, the dim-sum-and-a-movie tradition of "Jewish Christmas" (this year the movie was King Kong (an awesome movie, I might add)), Chanukah, New Year's Eve, staying up late watching Adult Swim, and lots of parties. In other words general awesomeness. However, all this awesomeness makes everything else look pale in comparison, and the time I have to stay in school is total hell. I just want the damn thing to end already. Luckily the wait is always worth it, and I'm always so high on sugar by the time school comes around again that I don't even notice that the vacation is over! This year for me Chanukah has been better than usual. In particular, last night was one of the best nights of my life! All of the interns from my mom's store came over, all of whom are big otakus and some of my best friends. We ate a big dinner and lots of chocolate, gave each other presents, chatted, gambled, cracked a lot of funny jokes, and had a Super Smash Brothers Melee tournament. What more could you ask for?

Starwind Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 I think December is suppose to be a time of family and friends. A time to care and to give, but over the years it has become very commercialized. It's sad to look at this time of the year and all one can think of is the hot new video game console (i.e. this year it was the Xbox 360), instead of just being happy for what you've got. It's suppose to be about giving not recieveing, but the only thought on everyones minds is "what are they going to give me" when it really should be "what am I going to get for them" That's all I really have to say on the topic.
