1. Don't wake me at 5am in the morning; I'm not young enough and not energetic for that shit anymore.

Blast! I can't think of a joke...

1. If you've woken anybody up, you open your presents last.
2. If you open somebody else's presents you forfeit your life.

That's about it.

The rule of Christmas. We don't mention Christmas until the 1st of December.

[sub] I just mentioned it didn't I...[/sub]

You did, but you are still right. Christmas season should not start until December 1st.

Hmmm, well I don't setup any decorations or anything until after Thanksgiving. After that, just one rule, an important one too. The tree, if live, must come down no later than two weeks past New Years Eve. (otherwise the crappy little pine needles jam up the vacuum cleaner).

1. Put all my other video games out of the way on the shelf on Dec 24th

1) I can only listen to Charlie Brown's Christmas soundtrack once there is snow on the ground.
2) We'll be watching 'The Snowman' this year. A new tradition since I finally got it on VHS, but it will be upheld!
3) No weight gain allowed. Go away gingerbread cookies.

Haha, I do agree that sometimes people jump into christmas way too early. for me xmas doesn't really start until the ABC family and other networks start showing all of those ridiculous christmas movies.

Ha, amen. If you jump into the spirit too early, it kinda ruins the whole atmosphere. Gotta stay away from department stores for a good while, they bust out the decorations earlier each year. It's only official once that Rudolph claymation thing is on TV.

 

[Amphoteric]

Its exactly the same as the other 364.25 days of the year.

 

[El Poncho]

Go round to my grans house during the day to meet the family then it's usually my house(parents house really) for dinner.

You got that slightly wrong the first two rules of Christmas are:

• The first rule of Christmas: You do not talk about Christmas
  The second rule of Christmas: You do not talk about Christmas

Then there all the other obscure rules, like rule 34: If it exists, there is toys of it.

 

[Professor James]

1. don't wake me up in the early morning
2. don't talk about Christmas or start putting up trees until December 1st
3. Take down tree before new year

 

[Souplex]

1. Do not celebrate Christmas.
2. December 25th will be spent properly: Seeing a movie and eating Chinese food.
3. Resist the urge to murder people over the obnoxious media that arises around Christmas.
4. Remind people that Christmas is a combination of Pagan and Roman holidays and Jesus probably hates them for celebrating it.
5. Have a happy Chanukkah.

 

[Bruin]

Usually I have three Christmas rules I strictly adhere to, 1) Christmas doesn't exist until the end of all saints day. Not out of any religious reasoning, I just feel it's only reasonable to start Christmas once we get the first holiday down. 2) Christmas carols can only be sang after the first snow fall during November or in December, depending which comes first. 3) The Christmas tree must be down before new year.

Anyone else got their own Christmas rules?

Oh also, happiness is compulsory and I must beat anyone who is unhappy until they are back to optimum jolliness levels.

Be a sad grouch because nobody cares enough about me to send me Christmas cards or anything of the sorts.

Then take it out on everybody around me, sink into mild depression and wait until Winter ends.
