Acceptable holidays?

Yeah, fuck it. That's your answer for everything.

Dudes, the more celebrating the better. Personally I'll be celebrating Christmas and Festivus this year. Though I have to admit that, in true Dudeist fashion, I just use them as excuses to eat, drink, and be merry.

Matt, mark it 8. I'm with ya on that.
'just had a christmas thing last night, with a Chinese Gift exchange, oops thats not the preferred nomenclature. The "Nationally Neutral Gift Exchange". The food was good, no main course, all appetizers. A new one was out; bacon-wrapped stuffing balls. Awesome, everything is better bacon wrapped, maybe even bacon.
few beers, few laughs.
I'm ready for the next midwinter festival season party.

Bacon wrapped stuffing balls? Why haven't I thought of that before. That's just amazing.

Merry Christmas all enjoy your holidays and spend your time wisely with family, friends and other loved ones. But do not forget those who dont have it as good as you, but share with them your thoughts and love. May it be a peaceful and enjoyable Christmas time for all.

best regards

Hmmm.. Welcome to Pagan Lanes, open 365 days a year.

...Speaking as a Zen Existentialist Taoist Postmodernist Pagan Dudeist........

Ahhhh, that must be exhausting.

Christmas as a concept is, in fact, a way cool season. The prob here is "the man" has totally usurped the purpose! What was (originally anyhow) a celebration of the winter solstice was "borrowed" by The Church (along with some other ancient special annual acknowledgements) to entice us pageans into coming to their party. That's cool. At least hey had libations.

I remember (back in the day of 8 track and black, rotary phones that HAD to stay attached to the wall) when the Xmas stuff did not appear until after Thanksgiving (yet another fabricated commercial venture, created by, I think the Butterball Corp.) but now a days, as soon as they drag the left over Halloween (ain't even going to speak to the ripping off of All Hallows Eve) "stuff" off the shelves, the greedy bastards start dragging out the red-suited fat fuck crap so we all get extremely paranoid that there's only 50 someodd fuckin' shoppin' days left before you're branded a cheap miser.

Anyway, I completely concur with greatspiritmonk that the real reason for the season is totally cool. If JCD got pissed with the money changers at the Temple, can you imagine the total cow he'd have with what transpires these days in His name?

Maybe we should just burn one and go bowlin'?

FUCKIN' A Dude. I know what you are blathering about. This whole current day Christmas season is a fuckin' travesty and gets worse every year. What the fuck ever happened to just getting together for the people reason instead of this perverted "material bullshit" marathon. And yes that is the stress talkin'. I just told my kids and my special lady(wife) that it will take the whole fuckin year just to repair the relationship with them from the serious hurt this "buy every shiny chicom piece of shit (holiday?) puts on my karma. I been threatening to go into rehab in December just to spare them and me. That's just like my opinion, man

A pity it's not snowing where I am (Gerona). I recieve either rain or cold air, but not snow.

I will miss the opportunity to play snow fights with friends, trudging through the white cakewalk. I do hope though, that in the UK and elsewhere snow falls, many children and adults alike are having snow fights, seeing how many times they can get each other in the face.

I'll join you in rehab Brandt, as long as we can find one with a bar.

"Welcome to Sunshine Acres, bars over there"

I think I could find some needy Maudes, and avoid the "thurra" doctors
