PrintI know we're all a little bummed out from the last game, but let us remember than on the 25th of December, Santa Claus made an epic journey to Jerusalem in order to save baby Jesus from Krampus and it's this act of heroism the reason we celebrate Christmas!
Join me after the jump, where I'll have nothing interesting to say except that I always wanted to write "join me after the jump".
I had a friend that when told by his parents that Santa Claus didn't exist ( just kidding kids, he exists and you can be anything you want, socioeconomical factors play no role at all), he became very upset. He felt his trust has been violated, he felt like a complete idiot for believing for all those years, and he wondered what other things were being kept from him, he even wondered if there weren't other massive conspiracies which adults were part of. This episode sparked an intense skepticism of everything and may have even led him to become an atheist.
But enough about me, this time of the year is all about the family. Whether you have stupid foreign traditions, or celebrate Christmas during the summer instead of the winter like you should, or whether you have a quintessentially American Christmas , it's all about being with your loved ones, no matter how much you despise the idea, and of remembering that years from now, when you're old and your children have you put in a retirement home because you have become too much of a burden, it's not the touching family moments that you will remember, but the awesome gifts you got. Also if you're spending Christmas alone you might as well off yourself.
No matter if you celebrate Christmas or Hanukkah or Kwanzaa or some pagan festival or are a terrorist, feel free to use the comment section to wish your fellow PTR-ers merry Christmas or FSMas or whatever, and let's be sure to spread the holiday cheer around.
If you feel a little self conscious, I'll get the ball rolling with this cartoon:
Merry Christmas motherfuckers!

Merry Christmas to everyone! I hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday.
I’ll be working today until 6pm, then it’s over to my folks’ place for some dinner. We’ll hang out for a bit, then go to Church (I’m hoping not midnight mass this year, but probably.). Then my dad and I will dig out the dinner and eat ham sandwhiches after we get home, something that’s become a bit of tradition as of late. I’ll stay overnight, hop up and down and wake them up tomorrow morning. It’s good to be home sometimes. :)
Merry Christmas, guys!
PTR’s a big part of my daily life, and you all make PTR work, so math says you’re all a big part of my life. Deal with it.
I hope you all have a great time with your families, and drink and eat a lot of food, because I won’t be able to, and living vicariously through other people is my thing.

I am never up this early, but had to work early because we’re closing early today. I was up all night with a nasty stomach virus. Where’s photoshop for one of those “ffffffffffuuuuuuuuu” pics when I need it?
Oh, and Merry fucking Christmas.
The Spurs - now playing like sh*t again!
Merry Christmas, you hayseeds!
I’m at work right now, me and maybe 4 other people in the entire building, and the temperature outside is plummeting festively even as I type. I’ll leave early today to do some last minute panic-shopping (books for everyone!) and stay up all night wrapping and doing laundry, and then tomorrow at the crack of dawn me, the dog, and the housie will go pick up my little brother and drive the two and a half hours to my dad’s farm, where we will spend Christmas Day with my dad, my stepmother, and my youngest sister. We’ll briefly argue about politics until someone tells me to “hush up, for heaven’s sake, it’s Christmas!” and drink and eat and generally be merry, and then after dinner we’ll leave to drive back to Austin in the dark.
The rest of the weekend will be spent at least partially in the company of a Laker fan, so the least said about that, the better.
Hope you all have a great time no matter what you celebrate or how you celebrate it. And I hope the Spurs make us all happy in 2010.
xoxo
I have flying monkeys at my disposal, and I'm not afraid to use them.
Merry Xmas guys.
I got the fruitcake and the sweater separately. Thank goodness. Also at work here. Met a guy outside the builiding who seemed surprised that the building main doors are locked today lol and flustered as to what he was supposed to do. Ah poor grad students(am in the same category btw).
Had my own christmas yesterday night. Due to icy rain etc etc in the NE, gotta drive to PennState(gf’s parents) today in time to join them tomorrow. Hopefully my dog won’t eat any of the little kids. I will go for a walk around my old campus and ruminate a bit on the memories. Suspend my life for a few moments and give thanks for everything and then plot about how to get back home asap. Back to basketball, work, and all the rest of the meaningless indulgences.
You guys have a fun and safe Christmas.
Cool, both of my parents are from Pennsylvania. My dad went to PennState, but they moved to SA in the 70’s before my siblings or I were born because of the Air Force.
I love that place. The surrounding place is called “Happy Valley” and it really was that for me. Along with the Aero dept. they also have an AFRL lab up there. Your dad is probably an alumnus of the Aero dept. or that place. Pretty cool!
optometry school…he failed out of engineering his first semester and switched to the family business
AFRL?
The Spurs and Pop disappoint and let me down for Christmas, but you didn’t Hipuks, thanks. Recced to Dirk growing up in fear of Krampus and his stern warnings and punishments.
My dogs aren’t allowed at my parents this year plus my boxer got sprayed by a skunk in their backyard on Thanksgiving day. That means I sleep with the dogs at my house playing MW2 all night and then drive to my parents in the morning abandoning them on Christmas. It’s cruel. The Spurs suck for losing that game with everyone there for Christmas. I hope Pop spills an expensive red wine all over his turtleneck tomorrow.
I’m off all of next week though so that is awesome. It will mean that I’m going to be on here a lot or hardly at all. We shall see. Everyone have a Merry Christmas or hopefully you had a great Hanukkah.
PS. All I want for Christmas is a 12 win streak.
merry festivus! let us gather around the pole and prepare for the feats of strength!

Merry Christmas everyone! I’m headed out to parentals – we’ll bake pies, play in the snow with the nephew, play games and argue about politics. Fortunately, we don’t do gifts, except for the kiddo. Everyone enjoy your time with your loved ones.

I know it’s late, but I would like to thank Santa for skipping my fucking house again this year! I never believed in you anyway! Those Oreos on our kitchen table were totally for our cat. I hope you got stuck in chimneys a lot.
Oh and Rudolph is a lousy reindeer name.
FYI, my gifts sent to gifts received ratio is 35:2. FML, and I hope everyone here at PtR is having a happy holiday season.

I think one of the key ratios of determining if you’re having a good year or not is how many gifts you can give to how many gifts you receive. So in my humble opinion, you’re having a great year Romeo, don’t be too down. It’s never nice to expect more than what you give, specially on christmas… consider yourself thankful.

I’m not really down. I just complain a lot. But thanks!
