Hey @[email protected] - did you find anyone else to hang out with?

Hey @[email protected] - what are your thoughts about Christmas on this fine day?

Hey @[email protected] - you said you'd be around today, what are you up to?

Personally, I might make a big pot of spaghetti later on. My cousin said they might pass by at some point but no guarantees. If I don't find anyone to talk to online, I'll probably just watch some free movies and game.

I was at work on Christmas (it's Boxing Day right now for me). Christmas isn't a thing here (no matter how hard the merchants try to make it one) so I'm mercifully unimpacted by the high stress winter season.

(High stress here comes in early spring.)

Boxing Day... I'll have to read up on that, it sounds interesting. In some places I've lived there were all these Saints days that took place at the start of the year... Yeah, unfortunately I think a lot of people make a big deal out of Christmas because they just want to sell things.
