...You do in the holidays? I like to code / headbang / gangbang / bangbang and drink and party... :-D:omg:

I'd like to say, but this isn't the soapbox. Holidays are for sleeping, for catching up on some rest... yet I'll probably find myself coding because it is very hard to break the habit unless you actually go some place where there are no computers. Even then I'll probably end up doing some designing on paper for later implementation. ;-) Michael Snow is lying on the ground, and in the air the sleigh bells sound, The frosted patterned window panes, it's British summer time again.

Drink and sleep. But I only sleep so I can drink more later.

I celebrate the original pagan festival. Not these new fangled religions that have adopted it. Sadly not many naked virgins run around fires any more...

I visit malls and shopping centers and bask in the glow of rampant glorious capitalism.

It is true that there are some disturbing aspects about the marketing of Christmas… 1) It seems to start earlier and earlier each year. I hate this part. There is no reason to have it start before Thanksgiving. It really does not help anything. People will buy when they have to money to buy, not a second before. I really don't think that trying to get people in the Christmas spirit by plastering ads all over does anything significant. 2) Music, music, music……….. Aaaaaaaaaaa the music. I hate Christmas music. Never liked it, never will. It does nothing for me at all. It helps out about as much as artificial snow. 3) Pissy people. Quit fighting over places in line, parking spots and all that. It does not help anything. 4) Cheap crap in the stores. Companies that market garbage to people just because they know that someone will buy it out of pure desperation suck. 5) Advanced sales… This year I had two games I was waiting for to be released before Christmas that got pushed to February. I am convinced that it was done because they did not see enough reservation revenue. You can't tell me that a game company is still running tests on their code the week before Christmas and had to slip delivery because of a bug. Come on. I paid $10 to reserve a copy of the game that they told me was to be released on the 15th and they told me that it was pushed up to Feb. The games? Ninja Gaiden and Halo 2. What I DO LIKE? 1) Seeing people in the stores. This indicates to me that the economy is getting a bit better. 2) Less blank spots in malls. See reason for #1 3) Cool technology being released for Christmas. This means that people are getting a bit smarter. 4) More use of plastic. Not necessarily credit cards, but just the use of plastic in general. I have been waiting to start taking advantage of the paperless society that was promised to me in High School back in the 80s and I am really starting to see it. There is way less cash in the stores now days. 5) Convergence. Take a look around and what do you see. Devices that are no longer single function devices. Cell phones that are both games and MP3 players, TVs that are now complete home entertainment systems, computers that are TVs, and these products are actually decent at doing each function. I remember the days of the first 'converged' cell phones that sucked and the promise of digital media that was no more than an over priced PC system with an add-on TV Tuner card and a big screen TV attached to it. Being an Atheist I was never really into

Jonny Newman wrote: Shhhh, there be Christians here Well, yeah, there are Ex-Christians-Now-Atheists here too (me), but I don't vote down people who still believe in and go on about God just because I disagree with them. It seems to me that the voting system is being used for the wrong purpose - instead of voting up posts which are interesting, funny and/or well written, even if you disagree with them, peopel vote down what they don't agree with, thus resulting in potentially undesirable group-think and conformism. For example, I frequently disagree with the views of Terry O'Nolley and some of other regular Soapboxers, but I don't vote him down for it!

I agree with most of what you write and, for the "record", I didn't vote Jonny down. I thought it was mildy humerous.:) Ian Darling wrote: peopel vote down what they don't agree with, thus resulting in potentially undesirable group-think and conformism. That's a bit of a stretch, I have voted people down in the past for innapropriate content in the Lounge (programming questions, violating the little sister rule, etc). I generally, unless I am in a hurry, post my disagreement to another post. The "group-think" can apply to voting up as well. The most recent examples are anti-Bush posts. My biggest peeve is the anonymous poster. If you have a belief and desire to share that belief with others, then you should use you real name. To do otherwise is cowardly, in my book.
