The video previews as "The 12 pains of Christ..." and I thought it was going to some kind of Catholic video. With Legos? 🤨 I'm not Catholic (although my wife is on her way), so how would I know what they're into or what their videos look like? They have this cartoon for kids called Veggie Tales that seems Protestant. I thought maybe there was a Catholic Lego cartoo...okay I'm lying. I just thought the preview copy was interesting.

I don't know if you know that song or not, but the kid whining takes me back to shopping with my kid when she was little and over-tired. Online shopping should have always been a thing. Millenial and Gen Z parents don't know what they've got.

Millenial and Gen Z parents don't know what they've got. Or older Gen X parents like me. Santa = Amazon and Ebay The boys want dinosaur and superhero crap. Superman, Spiderman, and The Hulk. All that crap costs a small fortune. They totally fleece you on kids' toys. My little granddaughter asked for arts and crafts and jewelry making stuff. And they all love Play-Doh. And she still loves her dolls and Barbies of course. And her birthday is around Christmas, so she needs double gifts. Fortunately the baby will be happy with whatever. I feel my BP going up just typing it all out. My mom and I also have to buy for my nephews *eye twitch* Next year I'm crocheting everyone a scarf and that's what they'll get.

What about wax on, wax off? And he didn't talk like that on Happy Days.

I don’t do anything for Christmas, so I’m not stressed at all. Christmas was very stressful growing up for me because of pressure to attend a bunch of events from my lousy extended family, always caused tension, pretty much ruined Christmas for me growing up. Now I like Christmas, I just don’t do anything for it and only see my dad during the holiday season.

No, but then my commitment to holidays is usually minimal. Same here.
Christmas became 50% less stressful when my family agreed to stop exchanging gifts, and the other half went when I stopped traveling halfway across the country to see them every year.
These days, Christmas for me is mostly just some low-effort decorations, a nice meal, and time off work.
I actually kind of enjoy it.

My kids are obsessed with YT videos about "1,000,000 plastic balls being released in a house" and giant marble maze races, etc., anything extravagant...and they already have a video recorder and they like making videos, so I got them 1,000 plastic balls. I'm going to have them release them from the top of the stairs and video it from the bottom. Plus with the band wrapping up for me after December, we're turning the basement into a play area for them and we'll probably get them a bounce house down there for Christmas to put the balls in. Oh, and my 9 year old has been drawing a series of comics featuring an ironic hero that is a wolf humanoid named Digger. He's obsessed by the character and has finished about 50 "episodes" of the comic. By happenstance due to a work project, I found a company that makes custom stuffed animals from your kid's drawing. So Digger will be under the tree and he will look fabulous in his dapper, vested, villainesque suit.

We don’t really do anything for Christmas, it doesn’t really mean anything to me or dad (I’m not religious at all, dad believes in god but not in the Christian mythology) but I like Christmas now because it’s a nice time to relax and watch sports. Hasn’t been the same since my mom died, mom loved all holidays, and she was a Christian so the holiday meant something to her spiritually. I have a nice Christmas tree put up that my family has had for a long time with multicolored lights, it’s very nice.
