Post by: duckman2000 on December 19, 2011, 07:38:35 PM: Sunday is pretty much just a big drinking day here, and a chill day for those who don't care to party. All the Christmas stuff goes down on Christmas Eve.

Anyway, is there a reason why you couldn't just suggest that instead of doing the church thing you do it old school and slaughter some animal as a sacrifice to the seasonal deities?

Post by: chronovore on December 20, 2011, 07:26:03 AM: It's hard for western foreigners in Japan, because Japan just DOESN'T DO CHRISTMAS the same way as in 'murica. It's not a holiday, so most people work during it. The company I just left, the president was an exchange student in the USA, and he LOVES Christmas, so he gives everyone the day off. Even so, we've had to work it with pretty common frequency when we're in crunch, and it's been taken away pretty casually -- I feel like such a thing would be impossible to pull in the USA.

So, hey, Christmas on a Sunday is pretty much the one day this place couldn't mess with it.

I found that Xmas there basically meant store decorations and some sales, plus Xmas cake. Which is fine by me since I don't celebrate Xmas anyway. But having to work on a day I'd always had off previously sucked so bad, so I'd just use nenkyu.

Sure. It's just disorienting.

Oh, excuse me: disasianing.

Post by: Eel O'Brian on December 20, 2011, 10:19:03 AM: I think it sucks worse having to go right back in on the 26th, that's like a recuperation day, it's more important than Christmas to me because it is QUALITY ALONE time.

Of course, my work schedule looks pretty bleak in January, and this December has (oddly) been slamming, so maybe I will take an "extra Christmas" then.

Post by: Phoenix Dark on December 20, 2011, 12:04:03 PM: Ha, I was confused by the thread title until I read the OP - really shows have little I've gone to church in recent years. When I was younger though, Christmas Sundays were horrible. We'd spend Christmas Eve in Detroit at my grandma's house, then have to get up super early and leave for church. Then around 3PM we'd head back to grandma's house, having missed a lot of fun stuff :-\

This year I'm pretty sure only one of my uncles is going to church, since he's a deacon. Then he'll get back and chastise us for not going

If you're in a black southern family I can pretty much say no there is no easy way around it unless you want to offend everybody so I just sit and watch the basketball games. Good food though.

Post by: cool breeze on December 25, 2011, 04:52:11 PM: The only time I went to Sunday church was because I wanted to see what it was about and I had an "in" at the time. Pretty boring. I might go again to a stereotypical black church where they sing and clap and dance like in movies.

Post by: Human Snorenado on December 25, 2011, 05:33:12 PM: Haven't been to a church since... the early '90's? I knew religion and I wouldn't get along when I discovered that even the Unitarians were too strict for me.

edit: have been to a church for a wedding since. Forgot about that.

It's gonna be great. still so many hoops to jump through before I can begin working on it though, like another semester of law school and the grad school application process and waiting for acceptance and before any of that, waiting for my current semester's grades, which won't be posted until after next semester starts and if I fail something, then I can't take a required course and have to jump back into the course I failed a week after it starts and will make my class load super heavy. fucking fuck. man, 1st world problems can be a bitch too :'(

You had your bar mitzvah at Masada? That's awesome.

Yeah, it was kind of convenient since we were taking a family trip over there anyway. The best part is that I didn't know any hebrew because I had already denounced my belief, but my parents forced me into it anyway...so I read the phonetic english version of the hebrew and I was wearing a pearl jam shirt because I refused to dress up :lol Some lady on the trip with us was crying about how beautiful the service was. lol religion. If there's a jewish hell, they have a place reserved for me there.

also, all my bar mitzvah money went towards paying a property destruction fine after all my friends and I bashed up cars in a parking lot because we were bored....so I just went through with the service in order to keep myself from having to work all summer to pay it off. fucking insane teen years. Easily the most stupid and kind of bad-ass I've ever been in my life :rock
