Well I guess the title says it all, I was just wondering who ya'll thought were the most active 'forumers' in this part of the AG forum. Opinions, that what this Forum is going to be, pure opinions, and yes you can say 'Me'.
I got a nice, big footprint on my head from shopping today. You can indirectly tell, since I didn't post from 12PM-late 4PM. This is like a simmer Black Friday where people still scramble to get their stuff. SO yeah, I was just lookin' around with my folks, mindin' my own business, where out of nowhere, this crowd from the east just runs me over. I was looking at a shiny TV you see, and my folks weren't stupified enough to jump out of the way. So I get toppled over, and a guy with a big, redneck steeltoed boot goes *squish* on my not-as-attractive-anymore face.
Oh God Christmas shopping!! It's soo annoying and stressful. Especially when the stores are very crowded. Good thing I'm done with that for the year. 2 more days til Christmas who's exicted?
Yeah, going to stores and shopping for about 6 hours is annoying.
who's exicted?
Me
We finally got done with shopping today. Now all day tomorrow is just to wrap the presents. That's going to take a while to do. Then when Christmas comes it only takes about 2 seconds to unwrap lol.
My mom just bought a whole bunch of cookie dough. Now we're going to be baking and decorating them for a while. I just can't wait to actually eat them.
my mom and sister made a lot, no, more than a lot. snickerdoodls, jam filled butter cookies, powdered chocolate, cookie bars, oreo ball and they're making one more.
Im in america so can someone explain what boxing day is for me please?
I explain it as the first weekday after Christmas or the days after Christmas when a lot of things in the stores get lower prices. I'm in the U.S.A.
But I searched on Google and got:Boxing Day is a bank and public holiday commonly occurring on the 26th of December. It is observed in the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Ghana, Switzerland, Germany, Greenland, Netherlands, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Nigeria, Guyana, Trinidad & Tobago, Jamaica and countries in the Commonwealth ...
I thought it was illegal or something to call the Christmas holidays just that though. You can't say "Happy Christmas" on a commercial basis, instead retailers etc. have to use "Happy Holidays"? Or has it been that way for a while? I don't get it. It was all related to something about political correctness getting way out of hand.
that makes sense because you have kwanza, hannukah, boxing day, christmas. it's not just christmas. i never really noticed that until now and thanks for explaining what boxing day is ghost of matrix.
Boxing Day will be good - better than Christmas I believe.
You know being atheist Christmas has lost it's appeal, I wonder why...
Many people in New Zealand have lost the religious meaning of Christmas. It's a celebration of family, gift giving and food now. I don't mind that at all. It's unlikely that Christ was born on that day. Still, it does nothing to damage my religious belies.
@Strop
I blame people who are offended easily. It's just a name. The holiday is mostly secularized anyway.
