CHRISTMAS!!!!

Wish I got an iphone XD

Y'ALL CHRISTMAS IS IN LIKE FOUR MONTHS

DUDE WAT. SUMMER AINT OVER YET GURL SLOW DOOWWNNNN.

XD

LOLOLOL I'm just mostly shocked that 2013 is over halfway gone like SAY WHAAAAT XDDDDDD

XDDDDDDD I know, me too. AND MY BROTHER IS GONNA BE 13 IN LIKE 20 DAYS. WAAAAAATTTTTT. CARAAAZEEEEE.

I should start blasting a Christmas song for my whole family to hear and see what their reaction is, and then when they comment, I'll be like "Yo, Christmas is in 4 months."

HAHAHA you should totally do that XDDD

Probably I will do "Simply Having a Wonderful Christmastime" or just put up the holiday radio on Pandora and see what happens XD

ONE MORE MONTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! XD

WOOHOO! :DDD

Hey are we doing the Secret Santa this year? :3 I always love that.

I hope so! I missed it last year.

If it does happen, would someone mind messaging me about it? I don't always check for new topics.

I liked doing secret santa last year, but idk, I don't think there would be enough time to do it this year.

We put our Christmas tree up today and it's finally starting to feel like Christmas for me.   (The two feet of snow we have doesn't feel like Christmas, it just feels like cold and winter.)

Yay for Christmas!!!

Yeah, I agree, I really hope we do the Secret Santa again!

It snowed here!!! I think it's so funny, because we probably only have like a few inches, but everyone here is acting like it's an apocalypse or something and school is cancelled and everyone is inside because they're all afraid to drive on the icy roads. LOL! I bet our weather would be considered nice and warm up in Canada.

So what does everyone want for Christmas?

I asked for a Captain America shield and a subscription to Marvel Unlimited, but I don't think I'll get either one But as long as I get some DVDs and chocolate and cool nerd stuff, I'll be happy.

What kind of stuff are you getting other people for Christmas?

I got the girl that I babysit/tutor an Adipose stress toy. She loves mine and plays with it every time she comes over, so I thought she would like one of her own She is so sweet! She's such a big Whovian! I can't wait to see her reaction when she opens it!

Ooh I hope we do Secret Santa! That would be fun!

All you lucky people who get snow... we just get hail and sleet! I love the cold weather though, it's nice to be able to curl up by the fire with a good book and some hot chocolate

I'm hoping to get a black wig from Arda Wigs, and some materials for my Lady Sif cosplay! I'm painting a picture for my Mom's mom, and I got a really pretty rose necklace form my Dad's mom!

Adding another topic to the conversation... what are some of your favorite traditions? One of mine is going to the Dickens Fair in San Franscisco, it's really fun! I also love going to my grandmom's house on Christmas eve, that's always the best part of the holidays

I agree, the cold weather is so wonderful!

How neat!!!

That sounds like fun! One of my favorite traditions is Christmas Eve. Our family eats snack food and watches movies. We usually end the night watching Ice Age, since it seems like that movie is always on tv on Christmas eve.

I wonder if Amaranthine would mind if we organized the Secret Santa ourselves. I sure wouldn't mind helping out I'll have to ask her.

I'm hoping to get a separate computer monitor and keyboard so I don't have to always have my laptop open. (my dad's been letting me use this extra TV as a monitor for now and I really like it) And I also hope to get a Nancy Drew computer game ^_^ i love those.

I've been slowly collecting gifts for people since like October already XDDD But the one thing I'm SUPER excited about is that I'm making up a whole bunch of cookie tins filled with homemade goodies (i did it 2 years ago and last year I did Thanksgiving baskets) and then we go around to our friends houses and drop them off. It's always super excited and fun and surprising and special... and we have a new youth pastor this year since the summer, so I'm bringing one to him and I can't wait

We don't have MANY Christmas traditions, but one very special one is that we always make fondue on Christmas Eve. We started it just as an unofficial thing because my aunt's birthday is Christmas Eve, so any time we were visiting them at Christmastime, we'd have fondue. We decided, why not make it a tradition? It's so yummy. I think my other aunt and uncle are visiting to eat it with us :3 Also today was our church's annual childrens' musical. It was adorable :3

Y'all who get snow are L.U.C.K.Y. I know it's freezing, but at least it feels like winter! We got a ton of rain yesterday but that's it (it's literally like the coldest it's ever been here and it's still only mid-40's.)

I crocheted a sweater for Pocket John yesterday XD

That sounds like fun, I want snow!

How wonderful Blue! That's a great idea! I'm sure all the goodies taste really good!

Aww, what a fun tradition! Fondue is so good!

I hope y'all get snow!

What is everyone's favorite Christmas movie?

My favorite is the cartoon How the Grinch Stole Christmas I love it so much! I also really like Elf, and The Year Without a Santa Claus.

Ohhh that's hard, I don't know, I love those you mentioned; I actually just got 2 Elf shirts... one says "Buddy the Elf, what's your favorite color?" and the other one says "Smiling's my favorite!"

I also really love the Polar Express.

Awesome shirts!!!

Oh yeah, The Polar Express is a good one!

Ahhh, I'm so excited about Christmas!  We're getting our tree tonight!  I can't wait to decorate.

I have actually not seen Elf. Is it good?

Yay! Have fun decorating the tree!

Yes! It is really funny and sweet! It always makes me very happy when I watch it!

Liv made me watch Elf for the first time in the summer a few years ago XDDDD it was still hilarious though, she claims that it has "my kind of humor" XDD

Elf is one of my favorite Christmas movies! That and White Christmas
