y'all fucking ready for the holiday season

[zim]

labor shortages, shipping issues, and covid should make this christmas all kinds of fun

most of my buying is easy except for my mom, she's always difficult to buy for

[Noyka]

Got everything already due to the craziness

[Noyka]

I bought from target, hobby lobby, and michaels all online. Hobby lonby has their fhristmas stuff in june its crazy.

Had to fill in with amazon and of course dollar tree you have to go in store unless you are buying in bulk.

Tgis year we are hosting 40 for a family party and i had more orders than expected so i am thankful i got everytjing early.

[agony bagony]

[User]

[droidspawn]

But what’re you making me?

a card filled with barely legible profanity

I’d take another!

[zim]

i never deciphered half of mine, i'm sure it was flattering though

[Grudge]

If by "ready for the holiday season" you mean, have I prepared a budgeting spreadsheet with all the line items, with online links to each of the product pages, with current prices and forecasted discounted prices, as well as accounting for what the variable options add up to in several options, then the answer is yes.

I am buying furniture, household appliances, and various equipment.

[Ninny]

I would like a little christmas tree

[zim]

i have a charlie brown tree in my office


is charlie brown / peanuts known around the world? is it just an american thing? can any euros weigh in

[Ninny]

I know the characters but I haven't read or seen anything. I think it is published in a newspaper here, not sure which one

[zim]

ninny are there any christmas traditions that are unique to you or where you live?

[Ninny]

We eat and drink a lot. Chinese food is popular because they are always open with christmas. And we have the oliebol, deep fried dough with sugar. We have a second chistmas day, I think that is unusual We do the same stuff twice just to be sure

[zim]

what is gift giving like for you? it's kind of ridiculous here, kids commonly get tons of presents. i used to get absolutely spoiled on christmas. i kind of wish it was acceptable to only give one or two gifts but it's always felt like (to me) that its expected you need to give a lot

[Ninny]

There is a competing saint and he has his birthday earlier in the month. In a way we do the same thing threefold. We do the gift giving mainly with the other saint's day and less so with christmas. Because we're all spoiled by then. And historically I think christmas for us was a day off with food and drink but no presents at all. Commerce disagreed

[Ninny]

The other hard-on bearer rides a horse

[vO)))id]

Fuck all the commerce bullshit.

I'll be visiting in-laws, eat nice food and get drunk.
Hail Odin!
