Christmas has, since 2020, always been lonely for me. This year will be no different. 😔😔😔

Quote from: Alex on December 15, 2025, 06:17:08 AMHonestly, I am having a great time. I had 95% of my presents bought before Halloween was even done

Maybe if I had kid/s it would be a different story.

my work was piping in xmas songs on the speakers before halloween... it's been a long old xmas already

well nevermind... it's the thought (of not buying any) that counts.  :bouncegiggle:

We did the "no gifts" thing years ago, but we always end up buying gifts for each other every year. I bought all the small gifts in November, ready to deliver on X-mas.

Honestly, I am having a great time. I had 95% of my presents bought before Halloween was even done and got them wrapped up before November was a week old. I have one more working day (18th) between now and next year and I am seriously looking forward to it all.

that's a complete lie, I don't hate xmas at all... but for some reason this year the rigmarole of sending cards and buying 'prezzies' has never felt less sincere to me.

at the risk of sounding like an ungrateful twerp, I don't want any cards or presents either.

I've told 2 of my 3 bros not to get me anything, and likewise that I won't be getting them anything... I have 1 other bro who I know from prior experience will be getting me a present even if I tell him not to, meaning I'll have to get him one, because otherwise that would seem like a lopsided and weird situation... it's all so SILLY at this point.

- conversely my parents have orderd me not to get them anything, and yet I can't bring myself to not get them a present..... so I'm actually guilty of perpetuating the kind of behaviour I'm also bemoaning here.  :question:

can this all just stop, it's so unnecessary  :bouncegiggle:

how many of you are full of festive cheer and bouncing around in a reindeer costume then?

Voice actor Jim Ward passed away a few days ago;

QuoteJim Ward, a veteran voice actor, died Wednesday at 66 from complications related to advanced Alzheimer's disease, Entertainment Weekly reported.

According to EW, Ward's career spanned decades, from early roles in animated television to becoming a beloved talent in video games and children's programming. He was known for his work on Nickelodeon's "The Fairly OddParents," where he voiced characters including Doug Dimmadome and Chet Ubetcha.

In addition to his animated work, Ward was recognized by gamers for bringing to life Captain Qwark in the "Ratchet & Clank" franchise and for numerous other video game credits across major titles, Game Developer reported.

People reported Ward's talents extended beyond animation and video games. For more than a decade, he co-hosted the syndicated radio program "The Stephanie Miller Show."

I remember him from his days on Miller's show.  It was so nice to listen to him on Miller's show while I was at work.  Along with Miller and her executive producer Chris Lavoie it helped keep me awake.  Between his passing and Rob Reiner's leaving us December is shaping up to suck.
