Unfortunately, my grandmother died this morning. This was the grandmother at whose home I spent every Christmas Eve for 45 years (Christmas traditions thread). With her and my uncle dying over the past couple of months, this Christmas will be a melancholy one. However, she was 97-fucking years old. The woman led a long and mostly happy life, and none of us live forever. And this was her favorite day of the year, so it's sort of fitting that she died today. I guess. My, mother, my sister and her current boyfriend will be coming over in a few hours. I'm cooking sausage and peppers, meatballs, stromboli, and stuffed shells. With some Italian pastries for dessert. Merry Christmas TiB.
So since being back here in LA I have seen the following celebrities: David Paymer Mark Harmon Amanda Peet Donald Southerland (This one doesn't count as his grand daughter is across the street) It really is a different world here.

Society is now officially retarded.
Which was really the exact reason Kwanzaa was invented. Although I guess that doesn't really count because I've never met anyone who celebrates Kwanzaa and I spent a large portion of my childhood in the ghetto as the only white kid in the neighborhood at my biological mother's including every Christmas/New Years up until I was 16.
Only if we get Latino Abraham Lincoln and turn Christopher Columbus into a Harvey Milk look alike. Now let's have a toast over generic blue drink You sound grumpy today, Juicy. Drag your anus across the bedroom carpet and cheer up, buddy.
It is retarded. Everybody knows that Santa is white just like Jesus and the tooth fairy. White as fucking snow and don't forget it. This is just an excuse to throw in a Santa who refuses to smile for photos.
I don't know, I could be just fine with Samuel L. Jackson as mother fucking Santa. That would be awesome. Far better than Billy Bob's bad Santa.
This is bordering on sacrilege. I love Samuel. Awesome actor, the epitome of cool. That being said, no one, and I mean NO ONE, played Santa better than Billy Bob. No one. Since it's Christmas, I may forgive the above and write it off as temporary insanity.
Perhaps I was a bit rash but I imagine it being funnier with Samuel. That said, I could be wrong and I appreciate your holiday spirit VI.
It sounds crazy and totally uncool, but I really love Christmas. It is my favorite holiday. I don't care that it's corny, commercialized, and the music makes me want to take up serial killing as a full time job, I just really love this season. So Merry Christmas, Happy Hannnuckckkah (or however you spell it), Joyous Kwanzaa and Freaky Festivus to you all.
Isn't this also the time of year when all the good little Scientologists await to be audited by Lord Xenu to find out if they are worthy of having their life savings emptied and then sued for dissension? Funny how there are at least two stupid religions started in the last century by a guy named Ron (fact).
I don't get to brag often about my religion, but it was started by a Charles not a Ron! Sweet! That has to be a win on some level.
Explain how having your childhood hijacked counts as a "win". Yeah, you must be a JoHo and I am very, very sorry for you.
I was and I have since corrected that. I was just happy it wasn't one of the two started by a Ron... Because I would have had to think about my parents decisions and I really don't want to. As far as hijacked, I'm not sure I'd say it was. At least no more so than children of Catholic, Jewish, or Methodist (pick the most popular religions in your area) have been. Not to rip on religion but I think I did learn some good things from my parents and hopefully I'm smart enough to learn from others what I couldn't/didn't from my parents. I've been out as long as I was in, yes it still messes with me now and then but it would be hard to tell I was raised one if I didn't admit it.
The best version of The Night Before Christmas. Anyone else slightly disturbed Santa, while traditionally a chubby goof, is German? Not exactly the Christmas cheer types. I half expect the reality to be a vinegar stinking wiry guy wearing a Pickelhaube screeching angrily at his reindeer.
Watch out, Krampus is on his way. <a class="postlink" href="http://www.noradsanta.org/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.noradsanta.org/</a> Spoiler
