Absorbine_Sr Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 i gotta say, 31 didn't seem like near the milestone that 30 did. Yeah, you've had a year to get used to being an old bastard. Imagine when you are ancient like me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadtonowhere08 Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) The whole build-up from Halloween to Christmas can be overwhelming sometimes. Afterwards, some people miss the anticipation. Myself, I get driven insane by my kids' constant obsession with pumpkins, skeletons, and pirates for Halloween as well as the Christmas lights, presents, and decorations for Christmas. It is great that they get so excited, but it gets old, because they are the obsessive types (like their parents ) I love the season, but in the end, I am glad to see it go every year.

roadtonowhere08 Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Most of it should be for just children. I mainly like it for some time off and to be able to spend more time with my family. I loathe the commercialization of the holidays for reasons I am pretty sure you share as well. Oddly enough, I hate Halloween. I know, that's probably worthy, but I never saw the point of it.

morphsci Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Actually the only holiday I really hate is New Years. A time for the amateur drinkers to go out and act stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morphsci Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Chicago has a wee St. Patty's day celebration also, but it wasn't so big in the neighborhood in which I grew up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsavitsk Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Actually the only holiday I really hate is New Years. A time for the amateur drinkers to go out and act stupid. NYE and Halloween are my least favorites for the above reason, and for the enforced fun aspect ... ... and from the year that a kid, after eating too much candy, vomited all over our front porch. Then his mother, after getting some candy from us, showed us the vomit but didn't stick around to help clean it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsavitsk Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) damn, i had no idea that post-christmas letdown was a thing. It's a thing in as much as things my brother invented* are things -- he is a psychology professor if that gives him any authority (it probably shouldn't) *Looking around, I don't think the term is unique to him.

philodox Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Happy Belated Birthday Buddy! i gotta say, 31 didn't seem like near the milestone that 30 did. Agreed, although I didn't really make much of 30 either to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
