WiiLoaded.com - Wii Forum and News

I think another christmas thread was made a while back, but it was too early in my opinion, so here's a festive WiiLoaded Holiday Season Thread for y'all to enjoy. This thread will be purely for discussion of the season. Talk about how you can't wait to get off school or work or what types of food you're going to stuff yourselves with on the big '25'.

Well I just finished up school today. This morning our French teacher asked us if we all had money and we all said yes, naturally a bit afraid we were going to get mugged, but then he brought all 20-or-so of us down to a pastry bakery. I bought blackforest gateau, I love that stuff! We just watched the VHS of Macbeth in English class, read magazines in history from the teacher's "special collection". After that we had computers where we just browsed the web and played Bridge Builder (download this game!). After lunch we had Irish, in which only 5 of us actually bothered to turn up, so we watched some DVD about a group of Irish assassins. It was hilarious! We were watching it in English subtitles and it was based in my city. My god, some of the things they said in it, (in Irish).

"I'm sorry, we're closed......"
"But the sign says...."
"I'm sorry, we're closed..........."
"Okay......"
*staring*

We then had double biology where we just laughed at how wet visking tubing feels just like........

For my dinner on the 25th I cannot wait.

• Turkey
• Ham
• Beef
• Gravy
• Stuffing
• Mashed potatoes
• Roast potatoes
  

Dessert ain't too shabby either ^^

• Sherry trifle with chopped bananas, custard and whipped cream
• "Holiday" pudding flaming with brandy
• An xmas cake I 'won' at a family party/get together
• Ice cream w/ maple syrup
  

Party crackers, funny hats, the works! At 5am that morning though I'm going to be rocking out with Guitar Hero III and playing some Galaxy and trying some new aftershaves and things. I love little presents like that. I believe Irish people tend to call them "knick-knacks" or the more conventional stocking-filler i.e. aftershaves, rasors, hair products. I'm sure girls are the same really

Also, is anyone else uber-pissed at the new Coca-Cola commercial? Bring back the old one with the grandpa sitting with his grandson! You know the one, with the trucks coming out of the fireplace! This new one is tacky and dumb and is too stereotypical of the happy American christmas family.

Gotta love that Budweiser ad though ^^

So what's happenin' for your holiday season?

well, my fundy baptist relatives will try to proselytize to me (an atheist) and then i will remind them that they are in reality celebrating solstice w/ more than a dash of commericialism and that j.c. couldn't have been born in december given the record the bible presents. we will then eat, exchange gifts, and they will leave w/o having 'saved' my soul from eternal damnation and i will leave knowing that i will not have to deal w/ said fundy hypocrites until at the next turkey day.

Thanks!

I am also an athesist, so the whole non-denominational thing includes me, and it is indeed the solstice we celebrate, or a pagan ritualistic event from Roman times but it's probably the one day that the whole world recognizes no matter what. I refuse to call it the Christian bearing "Christmas" any more. It's either The Holidays or Xmas for me. But hey, let's celebrate in the warmth of Xmas itself

No one asked what you think about other people's beliefs. You don't believe in Christmas. Good for you. Don't be an asshole.

Despite the fact that most non-Christians I know (including myself) don't mind it being called Christmas and have no problems with the holiday, I shall attempt to avoid offending anyone: Happy Winter Festival to you all!

Exactly! And GlueGun, please calm down and don't call gwelymernans that word again.

He was giving an account of his holiday season, he was not criticizing you or any other religion.

This is not directed towards you, Gluegun, but I will mention it now. Everyone, please be a little more understanding, open-minded, and considerate. That is the only way a thread like this can exist.

Yes, now please can we lighten up the mood! Tell us what you're going to be doing over the holiday season, and even tell some funny stories that you have had down the years for Xmas!

Let's keep this thread on topic or it will be locked. Please, no one take shots at other people and I'm not pointing the finger at any one. This is a thread to wish Happy Holidays or whatever you want to others and not to put down other people's beliefs. I'll keep an eye on this thread and if it gets out of hand it will be locked.

i just can't wait for my PS3 and eating a nice juicy ham

I shall be spending christmas day playing CO4.

As will many others! You can be sure the lobbies will be full

Religion in a Nutshell: "My imaginary friend is superior to your imaginary friend."

The only reason we celebrate Christ's birth in December is because that's the date the churches agreed upon.

best ever is when my dads girlfriend would host christmas at her house. now my whole family is jewish minus my bf, my brothers wife and my dads girlfirned. his girlfriend has 2 nuns in her family her aunt and her aunts friend (they arent lesbians since well that goes against the church but shes a life time friend and shes considered family)

well once i sat there at dinner and we're all eating and i droped something and of course im sitting across from the nuns (not that im uncomfortable or anything) and i said "GOD DAMN IT!" very loudly and just turned pail white after that from utter shock at my own words across from the nuns! they laughed so loud because i covered my mouth and hung my head in shame! now they arent the type that would splash me with holy water and start converting me nothing like that. they sat there and laughed!! it was probably one of the most memorable christmas' ever! its something ill just never forget

and on that note, everyone please have a safe and warm holiday season! ill be working because why would a jew be home on christmas? lol i do have christmas day to be with my boyfriend and his mom which is nice. my bf and i exchanged gifts earlier in the month for hanukkah but he doesnt know i bought him something else.....i know he bought me something else since i went snooping in his computer and saw something from david yurman again!! w00t! so happy times i hope its another diamond necklace <33 ask LZ shes seen my jewlery lmao (such a princess at heart)

enjoy your meals and enjoy your family! may everyone get everything youve always wanted and more!!

<3 jilly

Thanks for that Jilly! Yesterday we bought our turkey. Serves 10-14. There's four people in my family..... Perfect! Right now I'm sitting outside Santa's grotto in a shopping mall. There's free Wi-Fi........ Double perfect. I was always wondering why churches don't have Wi-Fi. Imagine how handy that would be for church-goers. Jill could praise her various gods and watch YouPorn at the same time!

Please people, keep a 13 year old atmosphere around here. And I'm fine with the holidays, sure I have to go to church (I'm a athest too) but the presents I get outway that downfall. Oh and about religion, isn't our country supposed to be freedom of religion? And yet our pledge says: "one nation, under god" So... What do you call people who say things like "save the trees" and burn a wood fire at the same time? dang always forgetting that word

Exactly what I think Toon (one nation under...)

By the way were you referring to by comment about the 13 year old thing? Because the YouPorn thing is explained in the other thread (semi-private joke)

I know about the joke, I'm just saying theres some 13 year olds on this site and we don't want them being kicked off wiiloaded by there parents because of something said. 'nuff said.

erm... Anyway, I'm watching A Christmas Carol now, the Patrick Stewart one. My Wii is glowing blue
