It's almost that time of year again.

This Christmas I'll be doing what I always do - open presents at my grandparents' place on the 24th, hang out with my cousin for a while, go home, go to bed, open the presents from my parents (which will have a total value of maybe 20 USD, we're flat broke), go back to grandma and grandpa's for ham and potatoes, spend a vaguely contented few hours patiently tolerating my grandmother's passive-aggressive bullshit, go home again, allow post-holiday depression to set in.

Since it is the only day of the year my place of employment closes for, I will be spending all day Dec. 25th playing Star Wars the Old Republic.

All I want to do is just get drunk with my friends and laugh about the good times.

Exactly, that's what Christmas is for. Fuck the presents, go out drink, smoke, whatever you wanna do man. I don't buy shit except for my brother and sis. Justenjoy yourself fuck the bullshit.

Nah, I pretty much love the presents.

However I do enjoy spending time with my family at christmas greatly.

Usually we have christmas dinner with the entire family.

I doubt many Muslims will be drinking.

In the week leading up, Ill be giving a shitload of money to charity and being really nice. On Christmas day Ill either be having a boring day with family, or (hopefully) be hanging out with friends to get high, drunk and fat while watching our favourite movies. Picks include Ricky-Ho: Story of Ricky, The Big Lebowski and Hobo with a Shotgun.

How can you think about Christmas at Halloween, the best holiday? As soon as you're old enough where you have to start buying presents for people Christmas sucks. It's not a holiday, it's a bunch of social obligations and formalities I don't want to deal with. Also it never ends! I have Chirstmas with my friends, then my cool family (aka my aunt on my mom's side and her family who also likes to drink and actually have fun and sometimes my parents friends), then my mom's side, then my dad's side, then my immediate family. During Halloween my cool family gathers, get wasted, and go to haunted houses and parties. That is so much more fun.

Besides my mom's side has a annual family reunion where we all go camping in their hunting grounds and get shitfaced while singing country songs, so I get to see them all there. Holidays are so much better when my family sets the tradition.
