I completed finals for the term, came home, fried up some Catfish with butter flour and olive oil, and now I'm laying back in anticipation of the weekend where I can go to Washington and enjoy the great cooking of my aunt. Why does Thanksgiving Eve always seem like the third best day of the year? Cat! I'm a kitty cat. And I dance dance dance, and I dance dance dance. |

mmm... My guess is Christmas (presents) and New Year (party) are in the first two slots? Chocolate Easter bunnies & firecrackers are way behind. I love America -- I love the rights we used to have |

We tend to get time off the day before major breaks, and this time, only an hour. I hope Christmas has a better time of getting of --- |

Sadly, this holiday (which is usually pretty joyous) has the potential to be the epic pinnacle of misfortune this year has been moving toward for me. ------------ |

I got some new ram for my laptop today, and it doesn't work \o/ Won't see it at all. The ram in it is PC2100, the ram i bought, PC2700, it shouldn't have any problems with the different speed, it should just run it at pc2100 speeds. -- |

I got back scores from my Biology GRE (98th percentile ftw!) and my loan check finally came 4 months after I applied to it. So yeah... a good day overall. Must be the weather I guess. "For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increases knowledge increases sorrow."-Ecclesiastes 1:18 |

I say that your birthday is the best though (depending on your age ) Cat! I'm a kitty cat. And I dance dance dance, and I dance dance dance. |

Quote: Why does Thanksgiving Eve always seem like the third best day of the year? Because you get a bonus holiday on a day of the year that nobody else in the world recognises. Quote: Right on Christmas. I say that your birthday is the best though (depending on your age ) I don't celebrate those two either. The first, as I'm not a Christian, and the idea of just having a single day that you be nice to people and all that seems a little odd. I mean why can't you do that on the other 364 days? I don't do anything for my birthday either, as I prefer to celebrate things that reflect my own achievements, and nobody gave me any say at all in the matter of my birth, and I certainly didn't have to do anything. Before anyone starts with the "oh, that's so negative, doesn't anything mean anything to you?" Yes, lots of things do, and I randomly choose my own holidays to celebrate whenever I want to. I think that last year, I got about 20 or so holidays that nobody else did. Suckers.

I was starting to agree with you, but then the "Yes, lots of things do" bit ruined it. |

Quote: I was starting to agree with you, but then the "Yes, lots of things do" bit ruined it. They're important things though, like "today I kicked ass at Red Alert 2" and "today I beat my all-time record of how many french fries I can cram into my mouth at once."

" 't Was a cold November's eve. As the snackbar closed a last customer came in. It was LennyLen. "Good evening, dear LennyLen. What can I do for you?", the owner inquired. "I'll have four portions of your finest fries", LennyLen hastily replied. "I guess I can still make some fries to go for my favourite customer at this hour." "Nay, I'll eat them all right away!" |

I'm with Lenny on this. I don't celebrate Christmas, new years eve, my own birthday, Halloween, Valentines etc. Those days mean nothing to me. I'm not sure I'd celebrate "I kicked ass in RA2" though ___________________________________________ |

Yes, Thomas, but since it was more than a family dinner it was tranformed in a capitalist party. In the real Christmas there are not presents. "Code is like shit - it only smells if it is not yours" |

Quote: I'm with Lenny on this. I don't celebrate Christmas, new years eve, my own birthday, Halloween, Valentines etc. Those days mean nothing to me. I celebrate Christmas and the other religious holidays, but especially with Christmas I try to be less about the presents and commercialism and more about spending time with friends and loved ones and all that good malarky. I do celebrate my birthday, because it is, after all, the anniversary of the day that I became a living, breathing human being. Also, in recent years I've hit a lot of milestone ages (just turned 21* a couple of months ago). The rest of the holidays are just excuses to have fun. EDIT:

The Romans gave presents during Saturnalia, a feast in mid-late December that predated and influenced the Christian feast of Christmas. |
