That's what I know it as.. from Eastern Orthodox

OT... No, I'm a scrooge...

Be like Mike... Be a scrooge...

I've had many different types of Christmases in 3 different countries with within a 4 generations family. All great in their own way.

My least favourite is when the emphasis is too much on "presents" and not enough on "spending time together" and enjoying preparing food and sweets and eating together and playing games and having a laugh. Ahhhhh! if there can bee singing then I'm ecstatic!
I like Christmas carols although I'm not religious because they bring back memories

It got better laughing at your post.

People without imagination.

Some days ago I went to shop in Lidl. Western Europeans know the store. But for you Americans it’s a low cost food store chain all over Europe. Anyway, when you came I to the store there were two big pallets of Chocolate boxes. Alladin and Paradis brands. Hundreds of boxes it was. Next day I came and almost all were sold! I was standing and laughing load watching the remains when my son asked me “Why are you laughing?” I said to him “This was full yesterday and goes to prove how bad imagination people have in buying Christmas gifts!” While hovering around to pick groceries, 4 more people came and took boxes and both of us was laughing loudly every time another person without imagination bent over and picked up a box. It’s just another stupid Christmas tradition we have. I get a couple of such boxes every year and so does everybody else to. And the owner of the Chocolate factory laughs to, all the way to the bank!
