Christmas music: Probably "Winter wonderland" is the only christmas song I can stand.

The tree: We have a fake tree (I miss the days when we used to have a real tree) That looks very tasteful, not all cheesy.

Santa: parents told me when I was 10/11 I think, 'twas sad times....

Shopping: Thank god for the internet thats all I can say.

Food: Im vegetarian so it's not turkey or anything, instead it's a nice Quorn roast with roasted spuds, Yorkshire puddings, sprouts, vegetable stuffing, carrots, Nut cutlets, and some Quorn pies (With gravy drenching everything).

Favourite part: well this year I'm getting Skyrim and then going over to my mates for a couple days after so yeah presents and spending time with family/friends would be my favourite part :)

It's christmas time!? Why wasn't I informed of this >.>

Blatant lies aside I am excited for christmas because I am getting wasted christmas eve and I am most likely getting a laptop for christmas since my dad doesn't even seem to care that the boxes are in plain sight. I also have enough money for Sony Vegas so I am preparing to create the abridged series once I get everything :p
As for the questions.......
We have a fake tree since my family is too lazy to take care of a real one :p

I think I found out about santa when I was 8-9 when I secretly hid and waited for santa to appear so I could ambush him or something like that. I just found my parents placing presents under the tree and you know what, I was okay with that :p

I literally just got back from about 3 hours of shopping in the mall and I swear to god that all the idiot people shop at the same time and basically throw question after question at the cashier and taking an hour, and I was always stuck behind them D:<

As for food, I usually don't remember what we eat but my dad is talking about making a lot of pizza for our christmas party :p

Favorite part is always the presents even though as I have gotten older I have less that I want. Literally the only thing I asked for this year was a laptop, what makes it worse is that my birthday is about 2 weeks away as well >.>

Merry xmas here is my random Christmas. I do get to see family I haven't seen all year.
Christmas Music.
Burl Ives is the man when it comes to music. Around here we have a commercial free Christmas music radio station that we listen to.

The Christmas Tree.
I have two fake ones one inside and one outside that likes to fall over alot. I rally wish they made outdoor tree toppers I can't find one.

My Relationship with Santa.
I believed in him till I was 6. All my presents had my address on them and my parents name. I kinda put 2 and 2 together. (we lived in a very remote place at the time.)

Christmas Shopping.
I like to do it all in one day and go to the mall.
Christmas Foods.
Yum so much food. Turkey, stuffing,potatoes and cookies and candy. And lots of booze:)
My Favourite Part.
I love putting up outside lights and decorartions.

A merry Winter's Festival, my fellow Escapists!
-Muzaks!
I have no problem with Winter Wonderland (Mostly due to Criken)
At 14:50
But if I hear "Rocking Around the Christmas Tree" one more time, I'll bludgeon someone's eye out with a broken PEZ dispenser.
-The TREE
Well, my bro, mother, and I put up the tree, with my brother and I talking funny accents while my father had do work stuffs at home.
-SANTA!
He is real. I know him. I KNOW HIM D:<
-The pride of Capitalism and American spending and such.
Got all that crap done yesterday, grumbling through the mall and such. Now I gotta wrap them all. *grumble, grumble*
-The foodstuffs?
Well, my family is hosting the holiday party this Monday. That's gonna bring in some food. If not, well, I'm eating Pizza tonight.
-General holiday likes: Well, I dunno. Family, and giving and such. It's always nice recieving though, and the holiday break does give a good rest from school.
It's 40-ish degrees in Michigan and have no snow, whatsoever. Not much of Winter.

The only christmas music I enjoy is TSO.
Everything else can go die, because it's all the same shit I've heard far too many times. I was sick of those songs by the time I was thirteen, so now I absolutely despise them.
Hell, if I had it my way, christmas stuff wouldn't go up until the 15th of December at the earliest.

I'm not too big on the tree either. It's cool to have a pile of stuff under, but dammit, they're pains to deal with >.<
We've got a fake one, and I haaaaaate hauling it up and down the stairs. And decorating. And lugging it back downstairs. Frassum thing.

And fuck christmas shopping with a rusty augur. All the people jammed into places trynna get into the same three aisles as each other, with that infernal music pumping over the store speakers...it's enough to make me want to molotov a store. While inside it.
Thank god for Steam sales and online shopping. They let me be antisocially giving :D

My favourite christmas song is a close call between these two:


With teh christmas tree, we always spend ages hanging all the most horribly gaudy decorations we accumulate other the years, so much so that you can no longer see the actual tree. Also, tinsel. Tisel EVERYWHERE.

In regards to Santa, I dunno, I just grew out of it I guess? But I remember one time when I was very very little, and I still carted around a blanket that I wouldn't give up, that I had to give it up otherwise Santa wouldn't bring me any pressies. Very devious my folks were.


And the best thing about christmas dinner are the pigs in blankets. Nothing else even comes close.


And I get to have christmas twice! One at my Dad's on christmas day, and one at my Mum's
on boxing day. Lucky me ;P

P.S: I like your new avatar Redlin. XD

Thanks Catchy :D

I've had the Christmas dinner, gone to a service in which my Dad was performing and am now back to wrap the last of my presents. Tomorrow we eat our brunch, unwrap our gifts and share the joy of the season together. I really hope my nephew and niece love their gifts! :3

Merry Christmas everyone. Shame its already more than half way through for us here in Aus and our brothers a bit to the East.
Hope everyone has a great day, and not too much goes wrong (Unlike the majority of people I know onsome forums who have just gone through absolute hell for the last week, and will be for the next one too).
Merry Christmas everyone, and look forward to the boxing day sales, just for some cheap stuff.

Well, Merry Christmas Escapist. Hope you all have a happy holiday and all that good stuff ^_^

-As for Christmas music, I believe this will suffice:
-The Christmas tree was never too big a deal. We put it up and don't really put too much effort in decorating it. Still looks nice though.

-I never really believed in Santa as a kid. Go figure huh?

-I don't really go Christmas shopping due to a lack of money for that kind of stuff. But whenever I do, I tend to be unlucky and end up in a packed store. Curse my luck!

-Christmas food is just plain awesome. Gingerbread men, candy canes, all that good stuff.

-My favorite part? Wearing a Santa hat and going to my friends' places and bugging them :D That and baking gingerbread men.

A drinking tradition? My family doesn't have those. I wish we did so my Mom wouldn't be so uptight about me drinking...

Christmas Music - Jingle Bells is awesome. Here comes Santa Claus can die in a fire.

The Christmas Tree - My family "didn't believe" in Christmas trees. As soon as I went off on my own I had my own little artificial tree. I like it a lot.

Your relationship with Santa - Santa wasn't exactly allowed in our household. Christmas is all about Jesus after all... So I never believed in him or got gifts from Santa.

Christmas shopping - Finding gifts for those that matter to me is hard but the feeling of seeing them receive something they've been wanting is well worth the effort.

Christmas Food - TURKEY IS DELICIOUS. Cranberries too and mashed potatoes... So good.

What is your favorite part of the Christmas season?! - Easily the spirit in which people act around each other. Much less rushed and cold.

Merry Christmas to you too.
