It's because the holidays are so close, yet so far...well, besides Hanukkah. We all sink into a deep state of depression, particularly those of us in college.

At least we know this thread will be getting more play than I am this Christmas season! *sigh*


I hate the holidays. I just like stuffing.

Join the club, darling. I've got to nicely tell the guy I've been seeing that I'm not sexually attracted to him so I don't want to date him anymore. Ugh.

I've never really liked stuffing. What exactly is in it?

I go home on Monday *does a little dance*... but then I will have to share the Internet with others, and it's *gasp* DIAL-UP. That's not cool.

Dear Lord! Dial-up?? The horror!

Gasp!! that's horrible.. I'm always on dial up though and it sucks..

Glad I'm not the only that is not in the Christmas spirit..

And Tiff I feel your pain..

Dial-up is not fun. Our computer is pretty crappy, too, and it freezes randomly if you have two windows open. I've gotten spoiled at university with my new computer. The 'net is just always there!

Christmas, to me, is just another excuse to gorge myself on white people food (trust me, it's a novelty in my house). Mmm....white folk feed......

To make it better (or worse?), my outspoken, overbearing aunt and her stereotypically Greek husband (who is apparently like the dad in Big Fat Greek...but to a greater extreme) and their kids are coming for the holidays, and she's DEFINITELY one of those "You're meaty..." kind of people. (She apparently bought me a $500 top for a present, so she'll be forgiven.)

Oh no...beware of people married to Greeks bearing gifts

I'm Greek, so I can say that.

I know you are, Shub. Anything to warn me about? I haven't met the husband before. And I haven't seen my aunt since '97. They're very "Greek" though - right down to the mythology statues and the lamb spit in the back yard!

A $500 top?? Can I be adopted into your family? That's crazy I would be afraid to wear it and ruin it..

I detest Christmas (and actually most holidays), my whole family is a bunch of hypocrits and I am so very thankful that I wont be here this year.. Speaking of which I STILL haven't told my 80 year old grandma. She's going to be so upset.. I dont know how to tell her, and time is running short. Suggestions please?????

**begs for help**

As for gorging, uh the idea makes me sick.. I hate food and I'm tired of being fat.. maybe if I ate more regularly I would lose some of this excess tonage.. (ok sorry guys, you all brought up a sore subject with me)

Just be careful of crazy Yia-Yias running around the lawn, Tiff.

[Type_A_Tiff]

Yia-Yias?

CAM! You STILL haven't told your grandma? Terrible! Umm...tell her your boyfriend Dan is in the show and he might propose to you in Philly/Balti, so if she wants to see your marriage before she sees the pearly gates, she'd better let you get crackin'!

You HATE food? I can get being tired of being fat - I feel the same - but HATE food? Echh....I spent too much time being bulemic and anorexic in my formative years, and it just reminded me of how much I like to eat. (Yes, my parents know about the eating disorders. And yes, they still rib me about my weight.)

**snaps out of the dreamworld and back into reality**

Nice Tiff.. You are soo crazy.. My boyfriend.. yeah Right!!

And yes I hate food, I only eat because I have to and I dont enjoy it.. once I went four days without eating, just because I forgot to..

Yes SHub Grandmothers.. Mine is nuts.. She screamed at me on my birthday because I was sick and didn't want to go out to dinner.. just bizarre

[ShbrtAlley44]

Wow, that's crazy! They're supposed to be concerned about your well-being :)

Hello, Shrbt.

[Allie]

Posted: 12/11/04 at 2:22pm

You're welcome to come share Christmas with my happy little family! They'll welcome you right in, and I promise that my grandmother will not scream at you. She may try to dance with you in the kitchen though.

[camerangel]

Posted: 12/11/04 at 2:24pm

She was more concerend about taking me out to dinner.. I had been sick for weeks had no voice, was just genreally feeling like crap.. But she wanted to celebrate my birthday.. Oy..

I used to have hope, that I was switched at birth. I looked like NO ONE in my family.. the only Blue eyed, fairly blonde (well it gets very blonde depending on how much I'm in the sun)extremely white person in the family.. Then my cousing had her daughter and she looked just like me at her age.. I had two things to say to that.. Poor kid.. And there go all my hopes out the window.
