oh, and sorry for the blur! :D

[Kujakoo]

Awesome man (Postcard idea right there :tgrin:) ! The fact that you had Donnie with you is priceless, don't know why I didnt think of that, Bring your Turtle to Work Day :tlol: Thanks for sharing and Happy Holidays!

[zodiac brave]

you're welcome! this donnie's been everywhere with my gf and i for a while now. he's the first nick figure i bought and i did my first ever figure video review with him. he was in my pocket when i got a new job, when my gf and i got some free food at a restaraunt...all kinda accidentally. so now i keep him with me as a sorta good luck charm. and it hasnt faded! we lucked out of a car accident while he was chillin on the dashboard and he fell under a dresser where i found a 10 dollar bill! my gf isn't a huge TMNT fan (tho she loves the first film and the nick show and she had a crush on him during the OT days), but she asked if she could keep him in her pocket this thursday because she has an interview for a promotion at her job. :lol:

he's definately gonna be a part of the christmas cheer for us this holiday season! 8)

feel free to post similar picks!

[zkarlette]

What a cool picture! :D

[DonatelloFan]

Never heard of a person keeping a full-sized figure in their pocket all the time, but whatever works for you.

And Merry Christmas everyone!!!

I had to wait for the wife to go to sleep for this photo or she would kill me if she knew I was messing around with her winter town collection display :tlol: But hey TMNT Holiday Cheers is what it's all about.

Ha ha, thanks :) I'm not sure the recipient would get the gift in one piece tbh, Raph is about to bust a blood vessel with that bow. ;)

[Katie]

Never understood why some women freak out over winter village displays. God forbid you move a tree or snowman.

Sheesh

[TheCanadiandrome]

Wow great pics all

[rav4ge]

I'm already in the holiday mood (listening to christmas music as I type this) and this definitely helped boost my hype further, heh. Thanks guys.

[TheCanadiandrome]

Yeah it's hard to get into the holiday mood. Being in retail I kinda can't wait til it's all over

[Machias Banshee]

I just love breaking out the Christmas music. :D I play everything from Celtic Christmas music and Mannheim Steamroller to Bob River's Twisted Christmas and Straight No Chaser..

I just love the Christmas Can Can and "Who Spiked the Eggnog?"

Awesome pics, guys. I admit I'm not really big on holidays that much anymore with all the drama going on in my family, but these pics put a smile on my face. Happy holidays, everyone!

[mysterycolor]

great photos! i dont have my decorations up, but i did send out 55 holiday cards yesterday- so that is a start :) happy holidays dromers!

[Machias Banshee]

The "we wish you a turtle christmas" turtles always creeped me out, but I love having little peeks at what they do during the holiday and the winter - bundling up and walking out amongst people, their first experiences with snow and the idea of santa and sledding... I turn into a pile of sentimental mush during Christmastime.

I think this is the ONE time during the year that I"ll actually go out and find fan art and fanfics to read. And I get drawing again...

Slightly old, but it still gets me...

i'm still in total holiday mode even tho weather in texas can go from winter freezing to like summer in the span of 24 hrs. (which it has...wreaks havoc on health!) it was hot today, but being as that im in retail, the mall vibe pumps that holiday cheer right through me, lol!

agreed- wrap rap... 12 days of christmas "and a pizza with pepperoni" ... it gets overwhelming... but i still have a soft spot for my tmnt christmas

I didn't realize that atheists celebrated a holiday in December as well......or is it one of those things where you just celebrate some secular form of the Judeo-Christian holy days? Or do you do a non-religious version of the wiccan solstice celebration? Or is it a different totally new thing?

Just curious. The atheist guy I grew up with doesn't decorate, send cards, or do gifts with any friends or family. Any gift he gets he donates to charity.

Though I think if they had a Mr. Spock appreciation day he'd be all over it.

Yeah, I'm curious as well.

[BubblyShell22]

Well, I technically have no choice but to celebrate Christmas because of my family. I think you can celebrate Christmas without having to believe in Jesus. You can just find your own meaning in it or celebrate the winter solstice. But I really don't care about the holiday myself. It's just there and nothing more.

But isn't it hypocritical to celebrate Christmas if you are an atheist? I mean, there wouldn't be Christmas without the Christian belief in Jesus....and while I do realize that the holiday is more secular these days, the root of it is still one of the two fundamental mysteries that are the basis of Christianity. Everything that is done on Christmas from lights to trees to gift giving has symbolic meaning. (Although trees were brought forward from a pagan religion....it was religion and belief I deities nonetheless)

Gift giving at Christmas, for example is symbolic of the Magi bringing gifts to the infant Jesus. How, as an atheist do you rationalize giving or receiving gifts during Christmas without being hypocritical by accepting this symbolic representation and in a defacto way, the event behind it?

Again, just curious.

[zodiac brave]

im not religious in the least, but i still love and celebrate christmas. i also love and celebrate halloween, which has roots in religious ceremonies, Valentine's Day, which is based on a massacre, and Thanksgiving, which ended up being a kind of dark stain on humanity, depending on your views.

i dont feel hypocritical, because i wasnt around hundreds or thousands of years ago when thats what these holidays were. i was raised to celebrate them for wat they are now. family, friends and love. :D

Not if you're doing it for the sake of your family and the ones you love. If they celebrate Christmas, then by all means anyone should be allowed to celebrate it even if they don't believe. I don't care about getting presents or anything like that, but I still accept it as it's done for the sake of being nice. And I give my BF gifts just for the sake of being nice to him and not caring about what the whole religious significance of it is. Yes, it's there, but you don't have to be religious to celebrate it if you find your own meaning in it. That's what I do. Besides, who really cares about the religious significance of it anyway? Most of the time, people only celebrate to get gifts and the next big thing that's out. None of them really care about the religious significance of the holiday itself.

And there are even Jewish people who celebrate Christmas as well as Hannukah even though they don't really believe in Jesus. Would you call them hypocrites, too?

[Type 97 Chi-ha]

Jehovah's Witnesses celebrate no holidays whatsoever except Passover. Not even birthdays, New Years', etc. which are not religious holidays at all. So I wonder what they do?

I would. If you are going to suscribe to a belief system....at last follow it.

I belive in God.....I believe there are lots of avenues to get to him. One way is Christianity, but also Islam, Judaism. (My church teaches that) and I personally believe all other religions lead to the same being in the end....just lots of different ways to get there.

But if you are going to believe in one path....why disrespect that path by not following the teachings and traditions of that path? Not that Hannukah is wrong or bad...or Christmas...or Ramadan....or any of these celebrations. But if you are Jewish and celebrate Christmas because everyone else does (or whatever the reason) that's disrespectful to your own roots, family, and tradition. You might as well convert.

[Cure]

Uh, yeah. That's the very definition of hypocrisy.

Well, we certainly enjoy the non-christian parts of christmas... for instance, santa, decorating trees, lights, ornaments, cookies, goofy movies etc. And like most, we were raised with Christmas and so it becomes a family tradition- you simply ignore the religious aspects.
I am sure most of us will skip midnight mass- but we are having festivus/end of the world party (tee hee hee you silly mayans!).
Personally I love to send out holiday cards because I like to let the special people in my life know I am thinking about them- and I like to do it in a way that doesnt involve the internet or telephone. As for gift giving all I can say is that I love my family and friends and we express it in many ways, sometimes in tangible gifts, sometimes simply donating our time to different causes that are significant to each person, but our december doesnt center around money- it centers around caring.

To say that every part of Christmas is based on part of the biblical story... we must live in a different world. I grew up roman catholic and never once did Rudolph show up in the manger... but you will believe what you want. Somehow I knew when I came back to this thread it would have turned from positive to negative- such a shame that you have to hate on each other all the time.

[The Stryker]

Who's hating? She was asking questions.

Lol well c'mon as if I was the only one thinking it

Yes you were actually.

Anywho. I'm looking forward to Christmas this year. Mostly to fix the awful one I had last year. Gonna be goooooooooooooood. God has been good to me after all of that. (Yup!)

Also, the hess truck is back and this time it's a helicopter? Woo daddy.

[Lethal Lullaby]

Happy= this face --> :D
Everybody smile or die! :P
Hmm. I think I should draw a winter scene featuring a certain character. It'll be strangely adorable!
(Although I have to think more about it.)

[BubblyShell22]

I find it hilarious that Jehovah's Witnesses don't celebrate Christmas but come Easter, they're knocking on people's doors and trying to get them to celebrate Jesus's death. It just confuses me.

And as for the Jewish people I mentioned, they celebrate both Hannukah and Christmas, so they aren't really disrespecting their faith as they celebrate both. I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

[TheCanadiandrome]

I just can't wait til it's all over for another year. But on the bright side, I'm just looking forward to the usual Christmas dinner with family. Always love that. Sometimes don't see em all year, so it's nice to get together

likewise! this is such a wonderful time to get the entire family together - this year is extra special, as my cousin had a new baby and my grandmother has been doing well, possibly well enough to come to my aunt's for the party :)

[TheCanadiandrome]

Very cool MC! Grats!

Yeah my Grandma, Dad's Mom, is going to be 96 on the 14th, and we're heading out to the farm to spend Christmas with her, so it'll be Dad, Mom, me and my Uncle. It's going to be sweet.

[Type 97 Chi-ha]

Live sad lives?

Believe it or not, there are people who like the idea of not celebrating holidays. Perhaps that's the reason they become Jehovah's Witnesses.

[BubblyShell22]

Well, I have a feeling my Christmas will be crap because Grandpa won't be able to come due to his illness. It just keeps getting worse for him. But at least he got to come last year, so that's something.

[TheCanadiandrome]

Believe it or not, there are people who like the idea of not celebrating holidays. Perhaps that's the reason they become Jehovah's Witnesses.

Good for them. I just don't need them trying to shove their believes down my throat

[The Stryker]

Oh yeah. Calmly knocking on the door and politely leaving when you ask them to. Really shoving their 'believes' down your throat.

[BubblyShell22]

Well, it depends. The ones who usually come to my door never really stick around. They hand you a piece of paper and then leave. Sometimes, if you don't answer the door, they'll just leave the paper and leave. That's what happened last year. I'm not saying there aren't those who will persist about it, but if you just ignore them, they won't bother you.

[Lethal Lullaby]

Not as cute as i wanted... :ohwell:

[BubblyShell22]

True, not like them darn Mormons though, gawd! Lol

[BubblyShell22]

Really? I've never been visited by Mormons. I guess they don't come out my way, which is a good thing.

[The Stryker]

True, not like them darn Mormons though, gawd! Lol

Wow. Really? Stop being such a hateful person already.

[TheCanadiandrome]

guys i'm jokin, c'mon, gees, unlike some people on here i'm not that hateful a b@stard!

though i will say that the Mormons have been by our place a few times, and yes when u tell em you're not interested they do leave, though they are a little more persistant than JW's are

[BubblyShell22]

Okay, time for a funny story.

Mom has the electronic deer who light up and their heads move. Well, when she put them out front the one year, we had a lot of snowstorms, and where she put them is notorious for drifting over, though she thought she put them far enough away where they wouldn't be affected. Well, when the snow came, it covered the deer, and the only thing you could see were their butts sticking out of the snow! So, now Mom isn't sure if she wants to put them out this year, though she is thinking of putting them further away where they won't get drifted in.

Needless to say, the image is always funny to think about.

[zodiac brave]

:lol:

deer-butts!

Yep, it's always funny to think about.

And we just had our first official snowfall yesterday. Ground is covered. I'm not sure if I'm going to get the mail today because where there's snow, there's ice, and for someone with only one eye and sucky depth perception, that's not a good combo.

[Blossombrooks]

Be careful Shell!
Our long range forecast is talking about a white Christmas for us. That almost never happens in the UK and certainly not enough snow to get excited about. I hope we get a little dusting, not so much the transport grinds to a halt but just enough to make it pretty Christmas morning.

[BubblyShell22]

Mom got the mail instead, so I didn't have to worry about it.

Sounds awesome, BB. I hope you get that dusting of snow.

Well, I don't drive like a maniac, but one snowy evening years ago I drove along a plowed road and forgot how slippery the road surface was. I was heading toward a stoplight and I braked-and my car skidded forward. I really kept turning the steering wheel out of fear I would cross over the center line and crash. Ultimately my car spun around and slid against the curb-fortunately causing no damage. My car had spun around so I was facing the wrong way on the street! Good thing there was no other traffic except a car at the other side of the intersection, well away from me, and the only traffic in my lane were cars well behind me. I was able to turn around and continue home safely. Fortunately all that was hurt was my pride. :toops:

Yes indeed they do. And as for similar situation, my older brother was driving the family van one Christmas Day, he had to go home that day as was usual when he still lived close to home, any how, he hit a patch of black ice and the van ended up in the ditch, luckily we didn't roll and all that was hurt was pride, but could've been worse. My bro didn't want to continue driving but my Dad convinced him to

Ok first off. Regarding Jehovas Whitnesses. yeah they don't celebrate christmas or any holiday (or birthday!) really (except Easter. I still laugh over getting invited to a celebration of his death...) but I've got some JW friends and they've never pressured me into joining them. We've got this one gal who comes to our door at least once a month to give us the latest issue of their magazine (which actually has some interesting articles every once in a while).

I even sent one of my JW friends a christmas card this year just cuz I could. :P

As for all the other holidays. Im not christian anymore cuz I converted to Buddhism but I still celebrate St. Nicholas Day, Christmas and even Hannukah (I have a Jewish uncle).This year Hannukah fell upon Bodhi Day (Kinda the Buddhism version of christmas) so it was a win win for me. *lol*

So happy St. Nicholas Tag, Christmas, Hannukah, Bodhi Day, St. Stephen's Day, St. Lucy's Day, Kwanzaa, Boxing Day, Festivus, and whatever else holidays there are in December...

[Jester]

easters about his resurrection, not his death.
Which is exactly why it, technically speaking, is more important than his birth. Though to be fair if you're not born you can't die, but it was kind of his "mission" to be a sacrificial lamb for mankind.

A Jehovah's Witness who used to be a coworked said that it was Passover that they celebrated (which Christians don't celebrate).

[BubblyShell22]

Really? That's weird because I know a JW who came to our house who wanted us to go to a celebration of Jesus's resurrection. Don't Jewish people celebrate Passover, too?

I'm Roman Catholic and I don't recall ever celebrating it

[BubblyShell22]

Well, I think Passover is the same as Easter just a different name for it.

[zodiac brave]

ah, well...there ya go. my dad was a pastor, sooooo, yeah...im pretty non-religious....

[TheCanadiandrome]

I know at the Catholic schools I went to they were big on Lent but don't recall Passover

[BubblyShell22]

I think Passover may be strictly for Jewish people as they don't believe in Jesus. Maybe JWs just call it Passover, though they celebrate the death and resurrection, I guess.

Anyway, one more week until Christmas. This month's just flying by!

[TheCanadiandrome]

And I can't wait til it's over! And all the nuttiness is over and done lol

[BubblyShell22]

Yeah, same here. We're supposed to get a snowstorm starting Thursday night into Friday. Not cool.

[zodiac brave]

i was finally able to get my christmas shopping done. not too many people to buy for this year.

i got my boo the most things, since her bday is the 23rd and i think lumping her bday and xmas together would suck. i got her a pair of sylvester the cat slippers and a sylvester the cat beanie for her bday and for xmas i got her an invader zim gir fleece blanket and this big water jug dispenser thing she wanted for work. (she drinks A LOT of liquids...)

got my mom a bottle of sangria and some wine glasses along with a gift certificate to chilis. its her fave stuff, lol.

for the mom in law, i got some fingerless gloves that she asked for, a bottle of this wine she really likes and a bad company cd. she wanted their first one, but all we could find was a greatest hits thing.

for the sis in law i got a bottle of the same wine her mom likes.

and for the pop in law i got some nice headphones he'd been talkin bout.

all were fairly easy to shop for, which im thankful for as i live out in the boonies and dont have a vehicle. *whew*

now to just enjoy the rest of the holiday! :D

I love Christmas... I love the decorations, And how the little kids get so excited.... I love the baking and I love what the season "means". Yeah, I'm a christian....:D
This year is really awesome because my girls (2&3 years) are old enough to join in on the fun. They can't wait to open their gifts!
Anyway, They helped me take this picture for you guys... Lol!

Note I didn't pose the guys with a manger just for you Non-christians out there!!!!Lol!!! Merry Christmas Guys!:tgrin:

[BubblyShell22]

Awesome pic, ML. I don't think the manger would fit with them anyway because of their lifestyle, but I love them in that shot.

Got my BF a gift card to Wal-Mart and a giant Hershey's Kiss. So, I'm done with my shopping for the year.

Yeah, he will be pleased. He's not too picky about candy, so I can get him anything, and he'll like it.

Awesome picture Mona Lisa! :tlove:

Well. I got my gifts for my mom and brother. Mom's getting a basket with dove shampoo, conditioner, body wash, I think body mist and a one of those wash cloth things. But I know she likes dove products so it's good enough. And isaiah's getting the first two hunger games books.

My bro's coming tomorrow to spend Christmas with us since he has to work on Christmas Eve. And he'd better show up since we're going to be making our Christmas dinner early.

So? Anyone planning to watch "A Charlie Brown Christmas"? :tsmile:

[BubblyShell22]

Nope. Already did that before.
