Title: And now its Christmas!!!
Post by: RMS Canada on December 02, 2008, 17:59:47
Well, it's offically December.  Which means that Christmas is only 0 day(s) away!  And note that this post will be updated each day for the offical countdown to Christmas.  ;D 

I've been preparing for Christmas since the beginning of November. 

So, is anybody up for singing Christmas carrols?  :)

Merry Christmas and a happy New Year from TheTitanicExpert!!

EDIT: this post will be locked on Boxing Day (Canada).   :(

On the second day of Christmas, my true love sent to me,
two slimy frogs,
and a Partridge in a pear tree.

(She really has no idea what to get me for Christmas)

Here's one:

Dashing through the snow, on a pair of broken skis, over the hills we go, crashing into trees, ow, ow!!
The snow is turning red; I think I'm nearly dead, somebody better call 911 before I lose my head!

We celebrate Yule, on 21st December. It is very traditional.

On 21st we exchange presents and the stuff ourselves with food. After that we drink ourselves stupid and lay on the floor for two weeks.

Just like most of the rest of the UK, ony we get there first. (Older traditions)

I've been preparing for Christmas since the beginning of November.  Now, I'm real excited.  We're going to get our Christmas tree possibly this weekend.  I can't wait to decorate it!

At least some of us are showing some festive spirit!

Well, it's better than having a no good fake Christmas tree.  Some of them cost more than a real tree.  How redicious!

They are recyclable, you can use them the next year and the next year instead of cutting down trees each year.

On the 9th day of Christmas...

We have a couple of recyclable Christmas/Yule trees. But we leave them growing in the garden.
Title: Re: 20 days left till Christmas!!!
Post by: CaptainMike1 on December 04, 2008, 22:04:46
Our real trees are recycled by the council into free compost which is great for growing plants in!! Better than sending a plastic tree to land fill...
Title: Re: 20 days left till Christmas!!!
Post by: TerryRussell on December 04, 2008, 22:08:57
We just decorate the trees in their own home (the garden), rather than drag them into ours.  ;)
Title: Re: 20 days left till Christmas!!!
Post by: Mad_Fred on December 04, 2008, 23:36:51
Same here as far as the real ones go, but I also set up a fake one in the house, just for that 'cosey xmas feel' it gives. The house looks weird without a tree, but with all sorts of other decorations.

But I used to work in the warehouse of a company that makes christmas decorations, including fake trees, and as a xmas bonus one year, we got the top of the line fakey, and I swear, you cannot tell unless you go right up to it, I mean, inches. It even came with a bunch of spraycans with 'xmas tree smell'. (that ran out in the meanwhile of course, but worked really good.)  ;D

Got it now for, well, maybe 12 years, and it still looks as good as the first day. And it's not plastic, but a fabric of some kind. It's a pain to set up, as you have to take every single branch and extend and unfold it and make it look real. (it folds up in to a small bundle, but fully erect and unfolded it is huge)

I won't tell you what it costs to buy one of those, but be sure that I never would have spent that kinda money on it and am surprised at how high sales were. But as a bonus, it was very nice. In fact, all my decorations are bonuses, I worked there for 4 years, and got enough decorations out of it to last me 10 more years.  ;D
Title: Re: 20 days left till Christmas!!!
Post by: Agent|Austin on December 05, 2008, 01:06:28
Our 'fakey' cost $600, witch has paid for itself in the last 4 years, since we don't have to buy real ones every year. It is top of the line also, you can really only tell if you go under the tree and look at the "trunk"...

+ It is pre-lit so we don't have to mess with tangled lights.
Title: Re: 20 days left till Christmas!!!
Post by: Mad_Fred on December 05, 2008, 01:57:51
I have to wrestle with the tangled lights, cause this tree is just the tree.. well.. 100+ bits that make the tree.. 

But isn't that frustration and yelling at the string of lights part of the fun too?  ;D
Title: Re: 20 days left till Christmas!!!

Post by: Master Captain on December 05, 2008, 02:39:11
saturday we will be putting up our fakey ::) A long process because like fred we have to unfold all the branches then put the bigger branch on the main post ::) We always do the lights by hand, the fakey is like 10 years old and looks very good still. ;D

Well we got sick of lights not working.

The main thing is in that room we have 24 foot tall ceiling, our artificial tree is still only 23 feet tall. But a real tree, would tip over. We use to have one that tall that was real, we had to tie it to the ceiling!

I like our fake tree because it's new and takes 10 minutes to set up. And it's so real looking a lot of people have mistaked it for a real one. It's just great because you put it up and don't have to worry about tending too it.

It can be sometimes, and we get a lot of snow where I live here in Ontario.  

It was quite mild when I was in Ontario a couple of weeks ago. But now I'm in the area again (Detroit), it has got a lot colder and there has been snow...

I get out before noon this Friday, then fly out on Monday for Texas where it is warm.

I won't have Ship Sim, though :-\

But I WILL have the exactly 1,200 pages and over 1,550 illistrations, pictures, and diagrams of the 2 volumes of Titanic: The Ship Magnificent ;D

Gotta get ready for semester exams right now, though! :o

Day one: 3 exams (1 presentation, meaning only 2 actual exams): DONE (easy)

Literature (early start), World History and Film (presentation), Chorus



Day two: 3 exams (1 already completed assignment and 1 was already taken a month or so ago, meaning only 1 actual exam): Tomorrow; Prediction: easy, but time consuming

Web Page Design (finished assignment), Drivers Ed (finished a month ago), Honors Advanced Algebra II



Day three: 1 exam (It's one exam, then a resource aka study hall): Day after Tomorrow; Prediction: fairly easy, I hope

Honors Chemistry, Resource (no exam; make up time)

It was so cold here in Colorado on Monday!!!!!!! I think the high was 3 degrees at noon. All the school buses were an hour late because the diesel froze in the lines. I swear, I went out to shovel and my snot froze. Nothing to get you in the christmas spirit like a nose full of frozen snot!  ;D

I live in northern Ontario, haftway between Toronto and North Bay in a town called Gravenhurst.  It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter with lots of snow.

And that this year, Toronto broke a record for most rainfall during the summer.

Post by: TerryRussell on December 24, 2008, 13:04:00
Yes

I'd always thought that Boxing Day was a particularly Victorian English thing. Who else celebrates it?

Certainly not the Scots. They get Jan 2nd as a holiday, to make up for not having 26th as a holiday.
Title: Re: 1 day left till Christmas!!!
Post by: RMSGreatBritain on December 24, 2008, 13:08:23
Well that was what I thought, Boxing day just being a very english celebration. I know, Ill search wikipedia....


EDIT: They say and I quote:

'Boxing Day, December 26th, is a public holiday in the United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand, Australia (excluding South Australia), and countries in the Commonwealth of Nations with a mainly Christian population. It is based on the tradition of giving gifts to the less fortunate members of society. Contemporary Boxing Day in many countries is now a "shopping holiday" associated with after-Christmas sales.

The day is historically the British name for St Stephen's Day, 26 December, which is a public holiday in many countries with predominantly Christian populations. In the Eastern Orthodox Church, St Stephen's Day is celebrated on the 27th of December, although in Greece Boxing Day (Synaxis Theotokou, Σύναξις Θεοτόκου) is also celebrated as a public holiday on the 26th of December.[citation needed] However, unlike St Stephen's Day, Boxing Day is not always on 26 December (see below).

It is usually celebrated on the 26th of December, the day after Christmas Day[1][2]; however, its associated public holiday can be moved to the next weekday if the 26th of December is a Saturday or Sunday. The movement of Boxing Day varies between countries.'

So basically members of the commonwealth, except south australia wierdly.
