Your thoughts, feelings, stories, favorite pictures & videos, cool new sites (http://www.holidays.net/)
of all of the yule tide gift giving of Christmas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas) to Hanukkah (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanukkah); the resolutions (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Year's_resolution)
ringing (http://www.newyears.com/) in the New Year (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Year's_Day) to the parties (http://www.clubzone.com/nye/index.asp?global=1&gclid=CKa4iM3Zz5cCFQKaFQodW3D9CQ); from the most strange, and off
the wall obscure traditions (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_Day#Traditional_May_Day_celebrations), to travel destinations, to the Easter Bunny (http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=easter%20bunny&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi)with
all worldly (http://www.earthcalendar.net/_php/CountrySearch.php) festivals from Independence Day (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independence_Day), to the Queen's Birthday (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen's_Official_Birthday)...
Think about this, if you actually celebrated every holiday, you'd never work.
This might be the only place where no one will pass judgment for a post.

I'm pretty sure this is what turned me off the holidays as a kid.

As Andrew Sullivan (http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/) says: "Pure, jaw-dropping yule-tide puke-fest from Sonny and Cher:"

Jus' went shopping at a few of the stores that haven't went out of business.
Here's my short list of some favorite gifts to get for the kids, short of an XBOX,
Wii, PSP, PS3, games... etc...

...anything from Nerf, but I like a pair of baseball gloves with baseballs
(You can add having a ball signed by someone important if ya' want)

...starter drums, or a six-string guitar, case and array of picks
(I saw one that was under $50 that was decent, I know, I'm cheap...)

...remote control truck, airplane, or helicopter
(yeah, they sell for under $50 too and are pretty decent too...)

...new hoodies, tees, and other miscellaneous swag from Jinx! is always nice...
(And, online shopping is gonna' become the best way to get a good deal)

...and my favorite, a new puppy. It may take a bit of shopping though.
(but this opens a whole can o' worms, I know, I know, I'm a dog lover...)

Didn't have a bunch of money to really go all out this year.
Kinda' depressing too. I try to look on the upside. Maybe next
year will be better for everyone... if Santa gives me my wish.
I hate being broke, but really hate being broke in Decemeber.
