ok, im gonna ruffle some feathers here, but its just my opinion. i dont think x-mas is as big as a holiday as it is in the states. if it is, let me know. but i have to tell you guys, it seems like people on this board are so negative about everything not LOS. i just dont understand it. i here so many people *****ing about their countries, the girls in their countries. now x-mas? i really just cant understand. maybe in the states we breed robots who just follow things weve been told throughout our upbringing, but i love my country, love girls in my country(actually love girls in every country)and i absolutely love christmas. i really just dont know where all this negativity comes from, it has baffled from day one ive been in LOS and listened to guys talk

It is big here in the sense of commercialisation. If you have children here, peer pressure results in people getting in to debt in order to provide for their little darlings. This can lead to depression and in extreme cases - suicides (pretty negative).

If you have not got kids then the hype from September to December 24th gets on your t!ts as all it is really is a few days of work.

My general impression of the BMs here is that they can usually see ''the bigger picture'', they have seen a lot of life and are not easily fooled. So if they appear negative about a 2 day overhyped holiday, celebrating the birth of a fictional character on a day when he wasn't born, now you know why

 

[Ellabombella]

i feel that i am pretty worldly, and want to see us much as the world as possible and learn from it, but i see alot more negativity than just x-mas.

Cheer up mate Jesus and I both love you. :love:

Obviously, due the nature of my post and the PM's I have received I have sown a seed of doubt in some peoples minds. I would just like to take this opportunity to say that Jesus has done alot for me in my life! He has provided me with something to read in all the hotel rooms I have visited throughout the world. Ensured that I get various holidays through out the year, Easter, Christmas and that other one! You know, when you have pancakes!

His suffering on the cross............................"WHAT?".............My taxi's here apparently..............but don't forget, he does love you, fat, thin, yellow, brown or white and purple............."YES, I"M COMING".........Strange taxi that! White, with square wheels!! mmmmmmmm!..............Anyway, yes, were was I, God, sent his only son to save the likes of you sinners out there and..................................."This jacket is a bit tight!".......and that thing with the fishes and bread! Well, Just amazing really.........Have to go now.........Gosh, they are big blokes!!..................Catch you all later!!

But don't you still look forward to opening all your presents on christmas morning, going round the families for games and roast turkey, stuffing and roast potatoes, pulling christmas crackers and getting a little surprise present, popping round friends for a xmas drink and then going to a party in the evening. If thats not worth looking forward to and getting excited then its all round mine for this christmas to get that christmas cheer back into your lives, as you can tell I love it and am more excited by it now than when I was a kid or maybe I am still a kid?

This is completely OT (or maybe not)

I am utterly confused , TV is on and they are showing "The Great Escape", the only time they ever show this is on Christmas Day. Have I been asleep for that long !!!!

Still hope Steve gets his bike over the fence and escapes :thumbsup:

I know this has nothing to do with LOS, but, I've been in LOS for the past 4 years at Christmas and missed this movie.

 

[Pompal 09.]

You asked a question about people being negative about Christmas, so I answered it. We all see a lot more negativity than Christmas, but can we agree :thumbsup: not to start any threads on it as:

1: We don't want to get depressed, and
2. It will probably have nothing to do with LOS :cheers:

 

[Pompal 09.]

I KNOW WHAT I WOULD PREFER .................

 

[Haley]

SH*T, Steve just crashed his bike into the wire (again), so , if they're not going to change the ending I'll just have to go back to LOS again this Christmas. :happyi: :happyi: :happyi:

 

[Lizi :)]

yep - they all got shot in the end, again.

Next film on - The Sting. Yes folks it rained this morning - now I definately know it's a bank holiday.

I always drink a lot on Christmas,

And when I do I think of Ambrose Bierce.

"The day is associated with the barbarous custom of present-giving, present-taking and present-expecting; the solemn family dinners, hollow civilities and meaningless salutations; with the deception of children and downright lying; with mawkish editorials in the newspapers, warmed over from last year; with mental distraction relieved with flashes of physical prostration. Christmas, as observed in this country, leaves a bad taste in the mouth, and as a relaxation is not noticeably superior to a shuddering drunk. I have experimented with both, and I prefer the drunk."

The covers of this book are too far apart.
Ambrose Bierce, The Devil's Dictionary
