 I hate Santa.
 How could anyone POSSIBLY hate Santa?  In response I have chosen a Santa avatar to try and sway your opinion.  My holiday wish is that everyone gets the MMO they're really looking for.  :-D Or a lot of booze.  |

 Christmas IS a big pain.  I remember that, at least, it used to look mostly pretty.  Now, wherever I go, I see huge inflatable Santa's and all these  weird looking globes with strange critters moving inside.  It's scary and ugly.  Everything is inflated, included prices. |

 On our block there's an inflatable christmas scene of a reindeer lowering Santa down a chimney, but my wife and I thought it just made it look like Santa was going down on the reindeer over and over and over.

 Just so wrong.
 Yeah, it can be a pain if you let it.  I simply don't let it.  It's not worth being frazzled and feeling all obliged to people I wouldn't give 2 shits about the rest of the year.  We take care of ourselves and do one family get together w/o all the rest of the crap. :)
 
 I can agree on the inflatable tackiness, though.  We have a 9' tall inflatable toy soldier and I feel it's overblown, so I set it back off the front of the house so it's not so damned overwhelming.  I don't get the 10' snowglobes and 12' snowman-snowglobes and such.  They're worse than the little 3' plastic snowman you used to see in the 70's and 80's.

 This is a good time of year to make your charitible donations,  and to check who you've forgotten to give to that you usually do.  It's budget time for alot of non-profits, and many of the them could benefit from an extra few dollars in donations.
 I had forgotten my donation to Planned Parenthood,  for instance,  until last week...  though I don't think NPR is getting my money this year.

 Hey, good point. I dropped off about a thousand bucks worth of clothes at the Sal Army about a month ago and my charity of choice is Hospice Care, because they totally fucking rock if you've got a dying elderly relative. Being able to spend your last days at home instead of a hospital is the way to go, if you've gotta.
 Don't forget your local libraries, either. Any books in decent condition will be considered, unless it's a technical manual from the 50s or something. Even so, libraries can recycle the books for you. Just don't drop off musty stuff, mold can spread to the collection. Don't be a book terrorist!

 Thanks to my prolonged exposure to the F13 boards, I've seen Winger Christmas art.  Therefore, I am desensitized to all defiling of the holiness of the season.
 Still, that mostly naked drunk santa was a pretty close second.
 
 My avatar illustrates the greatest extent of Christmas related crudeness that still remains oddly cute.

 Evil, impolite, but true.  Back in the day such used to be a popular grief link.  I wouldn't recommend it these days unless you're looking for a visit by the ban stick.  I'm sticking my nose well over dangerous waters by even mentioning it. |

 No Nerf, but I put a link to this very thread and I said that you all can guarantee for my purity. I even mentioned your case, and see if they can take a look at your lawn from a Michigan perspective.
