I don't like holiday letters. If I'm not close enough to you to know what your family has been up to all year, I don't giveashit enough to read a page-long synopsis. And if we're close friends, I already know that you got a new dog and went to Hawaii.
 
I got an 18 page one this year.  NO LIE.

I want to read it, I bet it's the most ridiculous thing ever.

I think it's gross to have laundry in the garage. Even if you keep your garage clean it is still dirty and I feel gross washing my kids clothes and cloth diapers out there. As soon as I can we are framing and finishing that part of the garage to make a laundry room.

My mil feeds her cats on top of her washer and dryer so there is hair and cat food all over it. Makes me want to puke.

I love root beer so much I actually make root beer float cookies. They're to die for.

My UO for the day is that I hate those stupid, tacky giant inflatable holiday decorations. My sister lives across the street from a couple that do taxes out of their house and they have 6 on their front lawn and buy ones for each holiday. I want to take a BB gun and shoot the stupid things so they deflate. Someone on my block has a gigantic inflatable Santa that tipped over on Monday and they STILL haven't picked it back it. It looks ridiculous.

Oh, agreed. Hate them. And I feel like in our neighborhood it's the houses with peeling paint and broken shutters that always have them. And those inflatables are not cheap. I always think WHY didn't you spend the money you spent on a half dozen goshawful holiday inflatables on fixing your roof? Because clearly I'm the Grinch.

Here's one I forgot earlier. I don't get grown men or women who are obsessed with video games like halo (old school nintendo pac men doesn't count. Everyone knows those are awesome.) Seems like a juvenile hobby. I don't care or judge per se, it just makes me scratch my head.

TheAnne:

I hate Whole Foods. I first hated them because I enjoyed judging the type of people that shopped there that would judge people for buying gas guzzling hummers and wasting money on material items but then would spend $15 on soy butter made from unicorn tears (or whatever). But then I secretly tired it a few times to see if it would be my oh-so-hip-and-trendy happy place and I seriously think everything there is made out of tree bark and dead bodies.

Trader Joe's for Lyfe!!!

This is by far the funniest thing I've read today. I love Trader Joe's. One just went in our a fancier suburb by me and the day I ran in for some delicious frozen spin dip it was mass hysteria. You'd think these ladies had never been in a grocery store. One woman was even taking pictures. It's like they couldn't believe that food could be cheap.

*side-eye*

oh, you know you don't understand some hobbies! Basket weaving, stamping, running, etc. there has got to be something that you just don't understand how it's enjoyable to others. I used to think that way about running until I tried it. I mean, how could that be remotely enjoyable!?!? Now I look forward to the quiet time I get during my runs.

Put a little boogie in it! That one is great!

jbBeans · December 2012

Re: coloured lights: I also hate them. One year we ran out of white lights for our tree, so they put coloured lights on to fill it out. I went in and removed a bulb and hid it so that the lights wouldn't work because I hated them so much. (I was probably about 7, and obviously a brat).

Whole Foods is totally the yuppie grocery store to Trader Joe's hipster cool. BUT, I still enjoy it and was excited when we moved to Toronto that there's one here. (there are no TJ's here

Another true UO: I LOVE me some cheesy Christmas pop songs--Paul McCartney's "Simply Having...", The Waitresses "Christmas Wrapping", etc. I prefer those to some of the new versions of Christmas classics. I do, however, loathe the Chipmunks. **shudder**

miss50 · December 2012

I love holiday letters and pictures. i am very disappointed there are two people that usually send them that said they were "too busy". isn't that the entire purpose of the letter in the first place? I think they just don't want to explain the weird drama that came along with the news.

if you wrote a christmas letter....i wouldn't mind reading it! .....

and root beer....love it ! we just got it in the vending machine at work...can we say SOLD OUT! no barqs though...that stuff is just plain nasty.

mind reader.

jocymama · December 2012

Apparently my UO is that we have colored lights and Hallmark ornaments plus things Jocelyn has made on our Christmas tree and I think it is beautiful. We prefer only white lights outside. Honestly I like trees with white lights but not for the family tree. If we ever have two large trees we will do one with just white lights and one with colored lights but if I have to choose, I want multi-colored lights on our tree.

Oh and we have an inflatable sock monkey that DD picked out last year. I am not a fan but she loves it so whatever

Seriously, this UO blows.

I thought I might be able to stir it up with my cheesy Christmas music confession. I mean, guys, I even like Wham and BAND AID. And they're just terrible!

Anyone... ?

No? We're all too bored to flame?

I think trader joe's sucks. Their "fresh" products come from Singapore and other far, far away countries and their boxed, processed foods are nothing more than boxed, processed foods priced higher because hipsters, or people who think they're hipstery will pay it.

Agreed. And they way over package everything.

I only like TJs for their wine and their staples like canned beans or something plain and random like that.

Yeah, I'm done with TJs. Between all the recalls and the hair I found in a boxed cookie. Blech! I've purchased veggies a few times only to open the package and find it half rotted at home.

My UO is that I think it's trashy and immature to brag about run ins with the police- re: the two threads the other day about being arrested or pulled over.

I'm not sure that there was a lot of bragging going on. Discussing =/= bragging.

There was some discussion, but there was also definitely some bragging from a few people. To each their own. That's why I'm posting this in UO.

I don't understand why, when an UO is challenged, the challenged person feels the need to point out that it's an UO thread. You're not the only one I've seen do it - it happens often, here and on other boards.
Yes, it's an UO, but that doesn't mean people aren't going to comment occasionally. Even challenge.

Hey, did you know this is a UO thread?

Mad Men bores the sh!t tar out of me.
I can spot a knock off purse a mile away, and will spend good money on one that will last me for years (same with shoes and jackets).
My UO: I don't find fart jokes or potty humor even remotely funny. They don't offend my sensibilities, but I fail to see why people think they're hilarious.

I agree. My Aunt loves these jokes, she is immature and all my siblings just roll our eyes at her.

I also don't like Dexter, but it is because I think his sister in the t.v show can't act and she annoys me.

My UO is that I can't stand people coming up to me and my LO and Ohhing and Ahhing over him and then asking 20 questions about him and how he was born. Then they proceed to tell me about a friend of a friend who just had their baby and they were in labor for 20+ hours. I just want to go grocery shopping, or eat my lunch, I don't want to talk small talk.

::puts on really heavy duty flame suit::

I think it's inappropriate for married women to gawk over other men. Yes, there are attractive men in the world but if you're married I think it's disrespectful to your husband to "oogle" all over them and say things you would do to them. I understand a lot of it is joking and all in fun, but I still think it's in poor taste.

Plus he knows I respect him because I started trimming the nethers again.

Agreed--a lot of it was actually acknowledging how immature this stuff was...which makes sense, since 75% of the posts were "minor in possession" kinds of things when we were, um, pretty darn immature.

Good thing my husband disagrees.
Kudos on what I imagine is probably a very Unpopular Opinion, a rarity in an UO thread.

Agreed--kudos on posting a real UO! I agree up to a point--that if it's got the potential to make DH feel poorly, you should knock it off (ie, saying stuff in front him all the time, comparing him negatively). And I guess I don't say things I would do to them because I do think it's weird to say things that you wouldn't actually do...and I wouldn't.

Though I think it's funny that most of the men I gawk at actually look like DH in one way or another. And I make sure he knows it. I tell him all the time he looks like a slightly less craggy Clark Gable.

To add on to the designer shoes and bags (although I don't mind spending money on that, even though I don't)...I hate when people where designer clothes with labels all over it.

I also hate hate Coach bags with the "C" all over it. Ironically, I own a Coach purse, but its just plain brown leather and I love it. You'd never know its Coach by looking at it.

ETA: I CANNOT believe I typed "where" for "wear". Gawd, I blame sleep deprivation.

All of this. I keep shoes for a really long time so spending money on them is nbd.

And to piggy back, I also hate clothes with designer/non-designer stuff all over it. I will never buy my kids a sweatshirt with GAP written across the front.

I hate when people use the same pics on their Christmas card that has already been posted on FB. I didn't tag myself in my photographer's post with some of our pics for this reason.

Shrugs. My husband plays COD. I surf ETSY, he plays PS3. I also don't think COD is juvenile. I will not let my kids play that game until they are much older. I totally side eye when I hear 8, 9, 10 year olds talking about it.
