Posted by metawaffle So, how has your perspective on the festive season changed over the years? Personally, I think I appreciate friends and family more than I perhaps did when I was younger. The gift giving and receiving is all fun, but I have to admit it's the getting together, eating too much, and tormenting each others' children that makes me happy in my dotage. It also makes me appreciate friendships I have with people that I've never met in person, and leads me to writing sappy posts like this. So, Merry Christmas and such, fellow aged people |
Posted by argonian I think I need to have kids to enjoy this season. I use to love it, but the last few years I see a downward spiral. |
Posted by KublaKhan I have a few minutes to kill if you're serious about this 'having kids' bullshit. |
Posted by metawaffle I think I'd miss the awkward socialising if it wasn't there |
Posted by KublaKhan ... it's something like 60 people, and they're all drinkers... |
Posted by argonian We had our annual "there is no such thing as sexual harassment, because women like the attention" discussion. That is why I drugged up before the discussion. To make it easier to ignore the conversation and go to my happy place. At least we didn't get to the "natives are lazy, worthless and a drain on society" discussion. |
