Foul Temptress 11-26-2001, 11:07 AM Call me Grinch if you must..\
Thanksgiving leaves and out with the Christmas music they come..All around the office, radio stations, every dang store I go into.. I literally will leave a store because of it.. It just gets old..I am still vomiting over it from last year..
Well, since I got that out...
Shadowhawk 11-26-2001, 11:08 AM Okay, you're a Grinch!:p :D:D:D

Wedge 11-26-2001, 11:10 AM *clears throat* JINGLE BELLS JINGLE BELLS JINGLE ALL THE WAY....

Shadowhawk 11-26-2001, 11:23 AM ROFLMAO!!! I wouldn't push her Wedge, she's been kinda pissy lately:D No telling what she might do to you:D:D:D

Shadowhawk 11-26-2001, 11:35 AM It's not a lame suck up, take a look at her pics on her website:D

Wedge 11-26-2001, 11:37 AM only reason I am nice to her, is b/c I lost a bet to her.. :) she probably doesn't remember..

AdamJ 11-26-2001, 11:44 AM LOL
Isn't it 'normal' to begin the Christmas season after thanksgiving?
I don't care for how the stores were putting up Christmas stuff 2 weeks before thanksgiving tho...
Shadowhawk 11-26-2001, 11:46 AM SEE!!! I told you she's a meanie! She does BAD things to people when she gets mad:(
Just relax Heather, Christmas isn't the end of the world, although I can understand why you're not too thrilled with the Holidays lately.:) Things will get better and you've got LOTS of friends here too:)
Can you believe I was actually serious for minute?!? ME! LOL!

there is nothing wrong with walmart.. there are (sometimes) hot girls there.. and nothing beats riding the bikes at 1am... yes walmart is almost depressing now, but those reasons belong in another thread..
and if it makes you feel better heather.. atleast your not 73% loony... and if you doubt that it's me.. shadowhawk will gladly tell you that I am..

Dude, do you know how TOTALLY sad it is when you go to Wal-Mart to PICK UP CHICKS??? ROFLMAO!!! :D:D:D
When I worked at Lowe's I was in the seasonal dept, which meant Christmas crap. If you ever had to spend 10hrs a day for 2 months listening to Christmas music, you would be sick of it too.

easiest thing in the world.. tie and hundred dollar bill to the back of the car.. drag it threw the parking lot..
slacker79 11-26-2001, 12:06 PM Christmas music sucks...I hate to go shopping during the holiday season because of it. I am not very into christmas this year anyway because I am dead broke. I am buying very minimal and that makes me mad. I usually spoil my niece and get my parents something really good but I can't this year. There are going to be happy with their gifts and I am gonna be digging in my car for pennies for the weeks and days after that!
Wedge 11-26-2001, 12:09 PM well yeah, christmas music tends to get old when you go to the mall all hyped up to spend some big money, and then remember.. oh yeah, I have bills... and no money..

ROFLMAO!!! Trolling for cheeze whiz sucking trailer trash were we?
As for the music, in happier times I worked for the holiday season at the WB studio store at Gwinnette Place Mall... I not only got christmas music for 2 mos, but WB cartoon clips going the whole tima on the video wall... Honestly I loved it though. One of the best Christmas seasons I had.
That was during happier times and now I'm in the same boat as Wedge and many others... No cash (among other probs) :(

dude you worked at the wb store.. I heard they closed it down.. I swear.. I bought that girl every damn tweety bird thing from that store..
if you ever saw a girl that had a guy on leash buying tweety bird stuff.. yeah that was me..
Shadowhawk 11-26-2001, 12:23 PM Yeah, I worked there alright... That was about 5 years ago though. Coolest job I ever had too:D Broke my heart when they closed it down:( Now it's some idiot store that sells lamps...

lamps? wtf? I remember crawling in the little space shuttle thingy.. and I was 18 yrs old.. LOL back in the day..
Shadowhawk 11-26-2001, 12:33 PM Yeah, I remeber that thingy too... Those were the days alright:)
LAMPS! (And Butt ugly stupid ones too!!!) Fuggin A!!! :mad:
Wedge 11-26-2001, 12:36 PM meanwhile back at the christmas music thread...
sorry guys, me and shadow can take any subject and go on some wild ass tangent in less than 4 posts... :)
so to start the thread off again.. I don't mind it, to a point.. I actually like it in the sense that it sets me in the mood for christmas.. which usually doesn't go into effect till a couple days after christmas..
Shadowhawk 11-26-2001, 12:41 PM I like it alot too actually:) I was just afraid Heather would hurt me if I said so while she was on the board:D Even if I'm flat broke, it can still put me in the spirit:)
Foul Temptress 11-26-2001, 12:55 PM well, maybe its not just the music..Maybe it is all the whoblah about having to buy gifts, and giving, and spending..You get so depressed cause you cant buy and do as much as you like and then it is quite depressing... So, I know where Slacker is coming from. So..I shall be Princess Grinch for now!

1. buy bell and santa outfit
2. ring bell in santa outfit with red bucket infront of mall
3. get money
4. spend it on other people.. (see it's charity)
Shadowhawk 11-26-2001, 12:59 PM I understand that part... I've been there the last 2 Christmas holidays myself. You can't stress over wht you can't do:( If your family and friends really care about you, the presents & commercialism should be the least important part to them:) Just remember what the season is supposed to actually be about;)

Well, since I got that out...
I agree. The music sucks and so does the holiday. Is that negative enough? Another tool of the Wal-Marts of the world to extract money from those that can't afford it. To make matters worse, every year the music starts a little earlier and lasts a little longer. Country music X-Mas music is the worst of all.
buggy 11-26-2001, 05:06 PM No one in my family ever plays X Mas music, so I don't really have an opinion on it. I guess it would suck if you grew up listening to it, but I did not. If it's in the background, I am the master of tuning things out, so I don't hear it.
I don't agree with 86dude - about Walmart extracting money from folks who can't afford it. People who don't know their ****ing spending limits are idiots. Why blame anything else?
D Durden 11-26-2001, 05:12 PM You know, around here, I was just noticing that this year seems to be starting LATER than last year. I can remember Christmas stuff being up before Thanksgiving here last year. I haven't heard much music, either . . . relatively.
This has been pretty good, so far . . . no complaints this year.
Shadowhawk 11-26-2001, 07:24 PM Here, one Macy's actually had their Christmas stuff going up right before Halloween!!! (Northlake Mall for you locals:) ) Overall it's been kind of qieter than normal here as well now that Dave mentioned it.
Buggy's right about spending too, why blame somebody else (the store) bcause you have no comon sense or self discipline :rolleyes: That gets back to what I said earlier about remembering WTF the season is SUPPOSED to be about:)

SmilingJack 11-26-2001, 11:34 PM i am one of those unfortunate bastards that has to work in a retail store for the entire Christmas break. I work in a Luggage and Gifts store where I have to dress up and wear a tie. In addition to attemping to convince people to buy a $525 22" piece of luggage and a $250 Mont Blanc pen, I get to listen to a 40 minute long Christmas CD that the Cross pen company sent us, on repeat for 8+ hours a day. The guy singing sounds like he just smoked a whole load of crack and decided to belt out some tunes. I swear, at the end of this holiday season I am going to be scoring a lot higher on that insanity test.
[angry, bitter post = OFF]
Scott 11-28-2001, 03:36 PM well...i personally like christmas music...
i sing in a carroling group that makes me money over the christmas season :)...
got a gig in like 3 days ;)
