    We really do need an alternative to Paypal that is just as easy to use.
    Also that Halloween House is fucking amazing. I've seen the Xmas one but not this, that was.. something special. I can't imagine that guy doesn't do like Disney engineering or something.

    It's what Regretsy fans call themselves. Someone once made fun of them by calling them fat, jealous losers. They took it and wear it like a badge.

    I do not like Christmas music.

    I would almost say that I hate it.

    But I also have to listen to it every single day from Dec 1st-31st, so I think I've heard every single Christmas song ever made hundreds of times over. And as it turns out - there aren't very many Christmas songs! I can't even tell you how many different versions of "Jingle Bell Rock" I hear any given day!

    I would suggest that there are actually a lot of Christmas songs, but only a small percentage of them have the "right stuff" to be made into 500 different pop versions. How often do you hear Away in a Manger, as opposed to Jingle Bell Rock?

    Whoever compared Christmas Shoes to a bomb/landmine hiding in your local radio station's music stream was right. It was playing both times I turned on the Christmas station today. I didn't want to try my luck a third time.

    I wonder how much hate mail that band gets.

    Looks like paypal released the regretsy funds, though their statement about having clear guidelines is a load of shit. https://www.thepaypalblog.com/2011/12/regretsy-issue-resolution/

    edit: This sheds some more light on it, and it shows how poorly paypal must be run for this stuff to happen. http://www.regretsy.com/2011/12/06/sooner-or-later-youll-pay-pal/

    The worst thing about Christmas music is that there are 80 versions of each song and only one or two versions that I actually like. So for example say I want to listen to Jingle Bells or O Holy Night or whatever, I listen to a bunch of versions of the song on youtube by choirs with wavery voices or spunky teenage singers until I finally find a version I like. By then I'm sick of the song.

    My problem with Christmas music is that when I'm at work I have to listen to shitty Christmas music. I know that there is better Christmas music to be had, but not at a grocery store. I want to hear Manheim Steamroller, or however it's spelled. I do greatly love the following video, but that might be mostly because I love Allison Brie.

    Rare Exports is pretty good, but it's a tad slow. I'd recommend watching the Youtube Shorts first. There's about 3 of them I think. Also:

    I put Christmas lights up at my desk this morning. Not so much because I am enamoured of Christmas but because it gets dark at 4:00 and I need something cheerful to look at.

    I don't know that I had ever heard Merry Christmas from the Family before! I am listening to it now, though.

    Also this morning I found this Christmas song, which I quite like.

    So ... having never done this before, how does one make the most of spending Christmas by yourself? I'm thinking movie theater run, maybe going on a photography trip through town since it will be mostly devoid of people.

    I once worked at some place doing super menial work. These old ladies would play the same fucking christmas song over and over and over and over and over and over. "Santa Baby" I'm sure you all know of it. Even though this was years ago, if I hear the song today it still drives me into a rage.

    So one day I hijacked the music and played Slayer. Loud.

    This is a true story.

    I tortured a co-worker with a Jimmy Buffet Christmas CD.

    Granted, I enjoy Jimmy a little. Raised by parrot heads and such. But the second play through and onwards was just to see if I could make him snap.

    I usually just bust open a bottle of Captain Morgan and watch movies until I pass out. Of course that's pretty much my regular schedule, but you know, eat a candy cane or something and it's now a Christmas schedule.

    I was alone for Christmas last year but I forced my friend to come over and stay the night with me. If that's not an option, I was also alone on Christmas when I was living in NYC and I made a tiny Christmas tree with popcorn strings, and planned a fancy dinner for one, and spent the day opening presents and watching my favourite movies. Then I ate delicious food and listened to Christmas songs and got trashed by myself. Also I went for a Christmas walk and re-read A Christmas Carol.

    It was still sort of sad but it was bearable.
