The ‘C’ word

November 1, 2007 · Filed under The ScottyB Collective

It’s absolutely vile.

I’d say that its the only word I don’t like using. You’ll basically never catch me saying it because simply put, there are far too many negative images and connotations that go with it.

You picture all those terrible family get togethers where everyone is just shouting at one another and you wonder why we all really do it in the first place.

I can’t get over the fact that people use it so much, particularly this early in the year.

Christmas (There! I said it!) is in December! And late December at that!

*sigh*

Time to start the Christmas shopping soon. Don’t want to leave it late again, like I did in ‘05. That was a nightmare.

I think the only great part about Christmas shopping is the virtually zero guilty conscience when you’re blowing loads of money on cool stuff :P

    Woah! Our SECOND Christmas together!!! :D
    I am dreading that C word from looming closer. I hope it hurts quickly. My brother and sisters and I have already done our Secret Santa (which isn’t so secret seen as nobody wants Emma so we have to do it constantly till I get her and everyone is happy.) And the parents have put in their orders…It’s just you my dear who will be my trouble. :P I know you will give me a list of things but I want to give you something special…only I can never think up that something special. :)

    PMSL so much at you in Dec 05 :P Oh gawd, how I laughed and how I panicked along with you :P

    I’m so glad you pulled your finger out for Christmas 06 :P I never want to experience the 05 muppetry ever again if I’m honest :P

    I love both C words LOL :p
