Christmas musing and Stargate fangirling

[castalie]

I heard here and there some of the US users talk about how they decorated their xmas trees already. I'm not envious yet, cos I think it's too early, but in the following weeks, you might hear about how I'm longing to do it too! *g*

Christmas being my all time favorite holidays, everything xmas related has a big importance to me; the Christmas tree being at the top of the list. I'm actually the one in charge of decorating the tree and the house- and believe me, I take it really seriously *g* And I'm kinda good at it, too. No bragging, it's just that I love decorating the house for Christmas. I have my rituals and everything lol My sis and I will also do the decorating at my grand-father's house. My grand-mother used to really love it when my sister, my cousins and I came to do it. When she died, my grand-father took it in stride to replace her enthusiasm... and now, he's waiting for it as much as we are *g*

Anyway, to make a long story short. I'm starting to feel excited about Christmas, and I could get high on the feeling! *happy sigh*

I'm also getting ready to read some entries about how people who like Christmas are so naive and stupid, because Christmas is so commercialized, and all that crap. I know it's going to annoy me a little, but I also know that everyone has a right to believe whatever they want- and I don't have a problem with *that*. And after all, babycakesin and I had this kind of conversation times enough, right, girl *g* If some people don't know how to see beyond the commercialization of Christmas, it's their problem... and really, these days what is *not* commercialized, really?

So... I'm getting ready to read those posts, but don't expect me to be a part of it *g* I love Christmas, and I guess I'll talk about it quite a lot in the on-coming weeks *g*

Now... a little something about SG, because really, there would be something missing if I didn't *g*

I watched the lowdown yesterday, and it was hilarious and fucking great! Since I have to send this tape back, I'm trying not to get too attached to it, but it's kinda hard. Actually know what? In a parallel universe, an alternate me with no scruples actually decided to keep the tape! Man, she's a bitch that one, but a bitch with the lowdown in her possession... I'm pretty sure there's something to say about that! *eg*

Anyway.. while I was watching it, I tried to train my inner-fangirl into *not* screaming, giggling, cheering or moaning each time MS appeared on screen... and let's just say there's a lot of work to do accomplish yet *shakes head* Also, I realized the fangirl in me *really* liked CJ too... so now I'm trying to shut her up twice more than before... with the same result, as in no result at all *dejected sigh*

Don't think I'll be able to train them into silence before Sunday. Better give up, really.

Okay, I'll just admit it: Christmas = family time, that's why I don't feel comfortable around it and just want to run away. But you know my issues with my family. Plus, there are too many people everywhere (but I'm working on that as well)

This year, with the work I've done on myself and my relations with my family, I'm actually looking forward to Christmas! *Mouse falls from chair*

Okay, I should have put a warning, but it's true! Now that I have adult relationships with my parents, I'm fine with it and getting all excited (hell, if I wasn't getting excited over Christmas, how do you explain the mails and phone calls begging you to tell me what I'm going to have for Xmas!? lol)

I can't be grumpy all the time, can I? (no.) This year's Christmas is going to be great because for once I'm going to do exactly what I want - around my family. *pauses* let's see it as an experiment.

Yes, it's commercial, but hey, I love opening the presents as well.

I read the comment after the different mails of yesterday, so I had all the warnings I needed *g* I really hope you'll be able to *do* exactly what you want, and that you'll get to appreciate Christmas once and for all *g*

i decorate the house and the treeS too. but we only buy the tree around the 22nd or it will die because of the HEAT. some people have asked me about how xmas is celebrated in mauritius and all so i will talk about it in the weeks to come =)

why don't you err tape the tape?! you'll need another VCR. or can't you get someone to turn the tape into a CD? they do that here.

I always wondered how Christmas goes in countries like yours. For me Christmas *is* cold, and eventually, Christmas is snow. I mean, it always snows in France, but like I said, not always in Ille-de-France where I live. I can't imagine a warm Christmas, it would spoil the mood for me. That's why I wouldn't want to go to Montpellier for the holidays for instance *g* I need a real winter.

I can't copy the tape, or else I would have done it already! lol
