It's pretty much over and done with now but... hope you guys got all the stuff you asked for. I got a nice case of food poisoning two days before the 25th. Haha, really nice eh? So when anyone tried to ask me if I wanted something to eat or even bring food within range of my nose, I ran to the bathroom and hugged the comode. It wasn't pretty Eh, but around mid day of "the day" I forced myself out of bed, went to my mom's house and put on the whole fake "happy face" and yeah... actually kept stuff down. But after several hours of waiting on it to snow, my mood began to sour once more. It wasn't till around 5pm or so that it really stated to snow but I can honestly say, it snowed on Christmas here! Hasn't done that according to my mom around here since she was about three.... o.O So I guess mother nature was the true bringer of Christmas for me this year. She turned my skepticism pretty freakin' quickly actually. Guess that's my one thing I'm thankful for besides me getting somewhat better to hold my food by dinner time on Christmas day. Still sore tho... sitting in this chair is even getting to be more than I can handle. Meh, think I'm heading back off but I did want to check in. I'm alive, wanted to see how everyone else is doing. What all did you get this year? Did you have any set backs? Great stories? I'd love to hear those. Either way, gonna split and take my daily dose of pepto (weee!) haha, and yeah gonna go play the sims! (betcha didn't see that one coming ) Take Care <3

Oh no that's sucks! D : Feeling a bit better though?
Mine Christmas/ Yule was all right o3o I was in San Diego and spent it with the family there. My grandfather came from Georgia and his son [my uncle] from Colorado. So it was pretty crazy. I went candy cane mad though xDD They're mine!!
I also received fishy dishes and my Kadaj plushie o3o Yes..yes I did go mad..
Oh here's a classic Christmas stupid moment: While me and boy cousins were outside, the younger one wanted to go inside and didn't realize the sliding glass door was already open xD

Hey everybody, just want to wish you all a Merry Christmas. Hope you folks are having fun out there, wherever you are.
(if you don't celebrate Christmas, then I hope you have an above-average day just the same).

It's time to watch the best Christmas movie of all time. I am, of course, speaking of Die Hard. This movie has it all: A heartwarming story, Christmas songs, Christmas trees, somebody saying "Ho ho ho!", fire, and plenty of explosions. Seriously, it's THE Christmas movie. There are other movies you could watch if Die Hard isn't available such as Die Hard 2: Die Harder. Good thing about the Die Hards is that you can watch any of them and not be lost. The stories are THAT good. Another good Christmas movie is Lethal Weapon for all the same reasons that Die Hard is good. The ending shows Mel Gibson's character, Riggs, spending his Christmas with his black partner's family, Murtaugh played by Danny Glover. Since I live in the south this scene really spoke to me as a child, showing that blacks and whites can really get along and be so close that they could consider each other part of their families. Also Rigg's dog becomes friends with the Murtaugh family cat. This movie taught me the meaning of coexist..........However, Gary Busey freaks me the fuck out so this movie isn't quite as good as Die Hard. Another I recommend is Batman Returns. Why? Well mostly because it's fucking Batman but also Christopher Walken as well. You can't go wrong with either of them. But the other reason is it's critical commentary of the materialist, consumerist aspects of the holidays. Also it's representation of people in the media. Walken's character, Max Shreck, is a self proclaimed 'Santa Claus' of Gotham, giving away presents during parades and what not but in reality he is nothing more than a corrupt business man. Attempting to kill anybody who discovers his secrets, including one Selina Kyle who goes on to become Catwoman. Shreck's corporation owns all the popular shopping centers that the people of Gotham flock to buying up all kinds of trinkets for the holidays. Shreck then teams up with The Penguin for a mayoral campaign which works at first thanks to The Penguin manipulating the people and showcasing himself as a tragic figure who was cast out of society at an early age due to his appearance. Of course all of this is thwarted thanks to THE FUCKING BATMAN. Or rather The Dark Knight. Knight as in he a protector of the people having to remove the stupid goggles that the populace has and show the Penguin and Shreck as the monsters they truly are. And Dark as in he usually has to get his hands dirty and work outside of the law to get the job done.....................Also there is a romance sub plot involving Batman and Catwoman which is surprisingly good and somewhat sad. A nice refresher to how the pair are usually portrayed. Another great one is Jingle All The Way. Uhhh....I would go into a deep analysis but any movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger isn't really worth the time. Just note that the movie contains lots of Sinbad. Not the pirate. The washed up comedian. I personally love Sinbad but that's because I'm fucked up in the head. The final movie I'll talk about is the comedy classic Bad Santa. Also actor Jon Ritter's final role. Anyways it's a heartwarming story of a drunken mall santa/thief, Willy, who's life begins to turn around thanks to annoyance of a fat fuck retard kid (note: kid is not actually retarded) named Thurman Merman. Willy begins to learn compassion and gives up his life of crime to become a sensitivity trainer for the police department. Thurman, through Willy's influence, begins to learn to stand up for himself and be a man evidenced by when he kicks a bully in the ballsack. Also Willy's fuck buddy turned girlfriend (since he has learned to love) is given guardianship of Thurman since nobody is able to take care of him and the three form a happy fucked up family.....................................Also there's a fuck ton of cursing, lots of drinking, Willy being an asshole to kids, a black midget, Bernie Mac, and a butt fucking scene. It's holiday fun! Yep. Go watch those movies. Have a great Christmas!

Those movies are actually pretty good holiday movies. They're pretty good movies in general, but as holiday movies they shine. Classic analysis, btw. +4 internetz for you.
