    i love it... and it feels cold and lasts for ages... brilliant invention :D
    finally......out of the 22,000 posts, a good one!

    now the dilemma, fake snow now and lymphoma 20 years later or no fake snow and lymphoma later.

    i will be placing my order......good work and keep sharing the links that make life worth smiling about.
    live and let live...unless it violates the pearligious doctrine.

    And you're wrong there. The idea of a kindly magical old man dropping presents down a chimney is far more exciting to a child than the idea of their parents going to smyths and buying a lego set.

    No its just the toy, doesn't matter who it came from. I've got kids. I was a kid. I wasn't dissappointed at all my guitar didnt' come from Santa, I was pumped about my guitar. It topped every other year. Plus, there may be a benefit to the idea that the gift came from someone who actually does love you.

    Hey, just because Santa doesn't love you, doesn't mean he doesn't love the rest of us...

    I really enjoy Christmas, but more for the snow and family time. The presents seem to be out of control these days. I also like Christmas lights, just not covering an entire house with them. Living in New England you really enjoy this time of year.

    I STILL believe in Santa. So there. :D
    And I don't mind people saying "Happy Holidays" around this time of year, but when people tell me I'm stupid for celebrating Christmas, then I start getting a little mad. I'll let you celebrate your holidays and believe what you want to believe; kindly do the same for me.

    BS. Easter does have the bunny. You don't get gifts for Easter. You don't get out of school for two weeks. For most people it involves more of a concentration on church, which usually sucks for kids. Kids would be just as pumped with out santa. Hell my 3 year old is pumped about Christmas and he's scared of Santa and doesn't want anything to do with him. He wants a Wall-E toy.
    we get the same amount of time off school for easter as we do for christmas. Easter also signals the end of lent so ya get to eat whatever you've given up again... and also we have a HUGE easter dinner, just like christmas... all the pubs and shops and everything are closed on good friday, just like christmas, good friday is as much about drink as christmas day.

    you get chocolate eggs... don't ya... some kids get gifts.

    cmon, when you're a kid you really don't give a fuck WHO gives you the gift... but if it's a man flying on a sleigh pulled by reindeer coming from lapland :eek: well then suddenly you DO :D
