Cooking, wrapping, rum-balls and dish washing. A couple glasses of champers and I'm ready for my long Christmas nap. BUT ... I've agreed to go to the midnight mass with my in-laws. I'm pretty sure they know I'm an atheist - but they want me there anyway. I might throw a shout out to St. Sagan from the pews. It's about 84 degrees here in Brsibane. That's not Christmas weather for me.
To be honeest Christmas gets less fun every year - the kids love it, but I just wind up tired and slightly durnk.
Anyway - I wanted to wish a merry christmas, Festivus, kwanza, solstice, chanukah and ramadan to all Sifters. February will be three years of VideoSift - sometime it feels like 3 months. Be well and love the ones you're with.

Stumble This
Its been a rough go here too. Midnight mass, holy... I haven't been to one of them since I was 6 or so.
Every time I fell asleep, it was the only time in church I could fall asleep and no one would get mad at me.
Merry X-mas. You may all call it what you like, but I call it xmas - it's all celebrating the same crap anyway.
Merry Siftmas!
@ gwiz, the "X" in "x-mas" is actually meant to represent the cross and shorten the word and was not, in fact, an attempt to take the "christ" out of "christmas."
I suppose we could call it solstice, but Xmas / christmas is so ingrained that it's hard to squash. Might as well embrace the name, if not the underlying intent.
Plus it has an X, so it sounds science-fictiony.
TEH FUTURE!
What's it like in that post-apocalyptic wasteland you call Future-Earth? Are there flying cars yet?
ABBA featured heavily in kids' stockings- and I broke down and got Spore for everyone. I know it's been panned by critics - but it makes a pretty good kids' game. It was either that or Left 4 Dead - my partner thought it would be "inappropriate" for an 8 year old. jeesh.
It's Pokemon, and various treats in the kids stockings here. My husband bought them poker cards!!! LOL.
I can't wait till the little boy opens his Roboraptor.. that looks like fun! He can battle Robosapian!
Merry Christmas.
AughH!!! MILK... why did I have to drink milk!
