So has anyone heard Christmas music yet? I got into a pretty heated debate with one of my friends on FB whether or not it was appropriate yet.
One of my roommates works at a wine store and was working on Halloween night. He decided to play Christmas music. He thought it was funny. Customers did not.
My parents always played christmas music on halloween and passed out candy canes to tricker treaters. So many confused kids lol.
You're just too young to grasp how stylin' I really was. All the boys wanted to do me when I was 5. Actually the girls did too. My haircut was confusing.
I was raised in a very strict day after Thanksgiving household. If I would have suggested putting stuff up November 1st, my grandfather probably would have punched me in the face.
Daaaamn. My grandfather's giant wooden spoon sounds pretty good next to your grandfather's punch in the face.
True story: One of my uncles decided he was going to stand up to the old man when he was in high school and take a swing on him. For his trouble, he got to take a short nap and had an imprint of my granddad's Marine Corps ring on his forehead to remember his mistake.

Tree goes up weekend after Thanksgiving, and down the weekend of/after New Year's.
We put up the tree the following weekend after turkey day but leave it up for a few months until it's nice and dry. Then we drag it out to the back yard and set it on fire (ornaments removed of course). I can't think of anything that burns quite as spectacularly as a dried out Christmas tree. A few years ago we actually left the tree up until October and burned it at a Halloween party dressed as zombie elves!

[–]cooooter Dan, do you practice your in-concert hand motions or do they just come naturally?
[–]wearecutcopyalsoVerified I spend 3 hours a day practicing my hand movements. I am currently writing a book on the health benefits of this exercise. Working title 'healing arms of dan' - dan.
My first job was at Kmart, it was open on Thanksgiving as far back as 2001.
I worked there in college (and a little after). We were never open Thanksgiving, but everyone worked Black Friday. It was basically a day where you worked or found another job. It's really where my distaste for the day for arose because people are f*cking crazy.

Fully agree with everyone being crazy.
I got dragged out back in 98(?) to some store, wait in some ridiculously long line for over an hour in 30 degree weather - cause my mother wanted to buy a bunch of Furby's. Once 7 am came along and the store opened, people were pushing and shoving and rushing towards the back of the store. It's amazing how animalistic people get over - shopping. Buying crap people don't actually need.
The only places I'd even bother going to on BF are record stores. Otherwise, there's no reason to go out. Except the record store exception, I'm fully supporting "Buy Nothing Day" and want it to make it a "Buy Nothing five day weekend" (Thurs-Mon).
EDIT: I think certain stores were allowed to open on Thanksgiving, depending on location. The one to the town south of me, in CT, was open. The one to the town north of me, in MA, was closed. Even now with Black Friday, stores in Mass. can't open until 12 or 1 am on Friday.

"The winner of SMITE DAY is Christmas.
Christmas is an ass-hat that doesn't respect the boundaries of other holidays. Halloween and Thanksgiving get bullied by Christmas every year and put up with it. No more. I have a zero tolerance policy for bullying.
This year I'll make sure that Christmas is ruined forever.

Had a fake tree for as long as I can remember. Real trees are too messy.
Also, tinsel is distracting. It's almost Festivus time.

I should use the shuffle function on my mp3 player more often. Laughing at its picks has turned my mood around. I probably need to update the music on it too.

I'm watching that Cheap Skates show. If I just dumpster dove for food, picked my own salads from the overgrown baseball fields, pissed in a jar for a week at a time and used my old pajamas for reusable TP, I could buy all of you a ticket to MMJ "One Big Holiday" in Mexico, in about 20 years. If we all did it, we could all go together next year. Come on!!! Commit!!
We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.
I hadn't shaved since August until this past weekend, when I shaved and got a hair cut. I feel so young again... even though I'm about the youngest one here (I think?)

A week of no shaving and I'm already miserable. Face is itchy.. I look ridiculous... I can grow a killer mustache, or even a goatee, but I can't get the beard down yet it seems. I'll just continue to envy Dave Maynar, Siggy and duddits.
