As a Humanist, I celebrate Winter Solstice, of course!

[sydneygb.livejournal.com]

Me too! I find "today is the day after which the sun will be around more and more every day" is the only thing worth celebrating during the icky cold winterage. Solstice yay!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

I agree. Winter = teh suck.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Well, I suppose that fits under "Yule but without the fluffy pagan name," right?

[vorpalbla.livejournal.com]

Or the pagan symbology, for that matter.
Actually, I also celebrate Christmas. I celebrate it by being on-call 24 hours for work, and eating Chinese food for dinner.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Do you get extra benjamins, dog?

[vorpalbla.livejournal.com]

I get the same benjamins you normally get for 24 hours on call. $2/hr for carrying the pager, 25/hr (not incl. driving) if and when called in.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Dang, they should give you exxxxtra for being on-call over a holiday.

[prettyvacantone.livejournal.com]

You should've made the first question of the check box variety. I celebrate Chanukkah and Christmas. :) Because I am a spoiled half-breed brat.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

You're right. How intolerant of me. I am isolating the half-breed brats! :)

*smooches*

I feel like I give you my address every few months and you still have NOT COME TO VISIT ME!!!!!

;)

sassyjenski is trying to get me to apply for a Res Life position at UCSC.

Then we would be neighbors!!

[happy2beso.livejournal.com]

Oh, Jude.

She was telling me about it there. You should totally apply....if I wasn't happy here at my new job I would be all over a position there in an instant.


Please! Come! You would love Santa Cruz sooooo much. I'm serious.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

I have no Res Life experience! So if I apply, I can use you as a reference and you will lie about how great I am, right? RIGHT??!?! :)

Who you callin' Ho?

Decemberween and Elvismas are close to each other this year, so it'll be an extra special holiday season.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Mmmm, Elvismas. You should have a party.

p.s. Y'alls gonna be home for the Turkey Hollyday, or will you be out visiting?

[oxlahun.livejournal.com]

jadefu's parents live in Northampton; we'll probably spend more of the day there than either of us is really comfortable with (because there's just no graceful way to avoid it), then maybe go to a cousin's for dessert and hang-out time (she lives a mile away and we haven't seen her since september). But in general, we'll be around all weekend, trying to make a dent in the gi-mongous pile of boxen still left over from moving.

As for an Elvismas party, well, that's been discussed, and it largely depends on whether we think we can have the place presentable in time. We'll see how things go next weekend. :)

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

We'll be in town Friday-Sunday of Thanksgiving week. We're scoping out the area and having a fake vacation.

Let's get together!

[oxlahun.livejournal.com]

Hells yes!

Tour guide service is available. Or you can come over and help us unpack. You always wanted to dig through mountains of our useless crap, didn't you? Yeah. :)

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

I'm sure we could take a little time to help you unpack! If by "help" you really mean "distract you by making you go out and do fun things."

[oxlahun.livejournal.com]

Yes! That is exactly what I meant! It's like you read my mind, as if you've known me for many years or something.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

:)

[prunesnprisms.livejournal.com]

I feel like telling you I celebrate Diwali and where's my card at?

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Forget the card, I'll just send you a quart of Durian Ice Cream.

[ducks-with-lips.livejournal.com]

Technically, I attend Thanksgiving and Christmas festivities, but I don't celebrate anything at all between October 29th and January 2nd. I hate the holidays.

But, feel free to send me a card of any variety, if you want to. A card that says Happy "I Have a Booger on My Finger" Day would be just fine.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Oh my gosh, I am TOTALLY sending you a booger card one day. That would be so awesome! :)

Still sucking after all these years.

Remember way back in the mid-eighties when I said I'd send you a couple of books for your birthday but I never did? Well, I still have those books. My copy of American Psycho magically re-appeared a month or so ago (I forgot I had loaned it to someone), and Me Talk Pretty One Day is sitting on the bookshelf in my office.

Would you still like these books? Have other, more better friends already given them to you? I swear on a stack of Captain America comics that I will send them to you this week if you are still interested.

Re: Still sucking after all these years.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Yes! I would still like them if you still have them! I haven't read them yet. :)

(But if you don't want to, or don't get around to it, it's no big deal.)

p.s. You do not suck!!!

[carina-s.livejournal.com]

I want to come visit and that will be your Holiday present.

What is Yule?

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Oooh, that would be a GREAT holiday present! Someday when I have some vacation time I want to come visit you! :)

Yule is a pagan holiday (winter solstice).
