    Epic Disney!!!

    my kids are getting that game from Santa... whether they ask for it or not. :mrgreen:
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    I know its just 'stuff' but it's pretty :D

    It use to that way way in America. Maybe back inthe 70's. Santa Claus shows up in a parade on Thanksgiving day and kicks off the Christmas season. Now it's all about the money. I saw xmas stuff at Sam's club in mid Sept.

    I love Christmas, the commercial part, and the giving/loving/family part. I'm not a very religious guy, but there's just something great about Christmas. I love seeing family, I love giving gifts to my friends, and I also love the ridiculous store sales and TV commercials taking advantage of the whole thing. I love it all!

    I love Christmas because down in this part of the world its summer, we have BBQ everyday and just relax with the kids. I am an atheist so Christmas to me has nothing to do with religion and everything to do with spending time with loved ones. In my family we only buy for the kids - so its not about the gifts. Love seeing the lights!
    all you need is love, love is all you need

    no :roll: :mrgreen: , but I watched that movie three times before I left for bootcamp. I was in the aviation end of things in the navy Actually my job WAS on the flight deck of a carrier. I never did get a rate(specific job) when I served for that brief time but what I did do was a Plane Captain , which is like ground crew leader. Was responsible for helping the pilot get the aircraft started and shut down among other things.
