ooo
hi

I looove the holiday season. Except this year I'm expected to get gifts for my co-workers and UGH stinginess.

Emboar November 9th, 2015 6:31 PM

It's going to snow. A lot. :((

Sothis November 9th, 2015 6:46 PM

Hi DCC!
I love the holidays, we started decorating today!

Sylphiel November 9th, 2015 6:51 PM

Suddenly reminded that I was at the dollar store the other week (I think that was when I was trying to find crayons for myself, just because I wanted them), and I walked down one of the aisles and boom, in front of me was suddenly so much holiday-related stuff. Various kinds of Santas, and Rudolph plushies, decorations, and so many other "holiday" things. It wasn't even November by that point, for crying out loud!

...Though I would be lying if I said I wasn't tempted to pick up a plushie or two.

Hikamaru November 9th, 2015 6:54 PM

Isn't it sad my family never puts up decorations much anymore?

Sothis November 9th, 2015 7:00 PM

Most of our decorations are dollar store xD And they've surprisingly lasted a few years!

My mother goes all out.

Emboar November 9th, 2015 7:04 PM

We've never had a big Christmas tree, mainly because getting large items up to a third floor apartment is rather difficult.

also, sorry for the rather depressing posts lol

Wicked3DS November 9th, 2015 8:14 PM

It's about time!

I just moved into an apartment, so I'm not sure what we're doing as far as Christmas decorations yet.

Sylphiel November 9th, 2015 8:26 PM

I know my parents would pull down their tree plus decorations from the attic on Thanksgiving to put them up, and even that seems a little early...I can't imagine mid-October. :X

Klippy November 9th, 2015 8:41 PM

It's too early to go FULL Christmas (says the guy with a Nightmare Before Christmas theme). I love Thanksgiving and what it brings to the holiday season, so I wanna enjoy it before going full-Christmas (Nightmare is technically Halloween + Christmas, and there's a Thanksgiving Town door in the movie, so it's fine for November).

Pinkie-Dawn November 9th, 2015 8:42 PM

Oh how I miss the DCC. I haven't gone to super markets for weeks now, so I wasn't able see them selling Christmas decorations earlier than November.

I would count that as okay, considering that Black Friday is the start of Christmas shopping season. Even like after November 20ish I could deal with (especially in retail since they need to be ready for Black Friday sales), but not much earlier than that.

Hikamaru November 9th, 2015 8:55 PM

The big debate with Christmas trees is whether you want to use a real tree or one of those fake department store ones. My family always used fakes because they're reusable and you don't have to keep throwing them out.

Sopheria November 9th, 2015 9:05 PM

Only now that it's back am I realizing how much I missed the DCC ^^

I think now is a good time to go out and buy a Christmas tree, before shopping gets too hectic for the holiday season. I've always preferred the fake ones for the sake of convenience, but I might just go for a real one for a change this year. Maybe.

Sylphiel November 9th, 2015 9:43 PM

I haven't had a tree of my own in years, my parents always had a fake one because, supposedly, the one year we did have a real one, everyone in the house except my mom had their allergies flare up (I was like three years old or so and don't remember it one bit). So we had a fake tree, but it was one that was just a tree, so there was always the nice hassle of setting it up and then setting up the lights on it ...

Although I'm not so sure it was better for our allergies compared to a real tree, once that thing got almost a year's worth of dust on it from sitting in storage it was awful. :P

...At least we didn't have to worry about throwing it away.

Sothis November 9th, 2015 10:01 PM

We don't have room for a tree because our apartment is crammed with stuff lol we just set the presents aside.
I'd prefer a fake though, less mess and hassle I think!

Wicked3DS November 10th, 2015 5:16 AM

We'll probably end up with a fake tree at our apartment. I think one of our friends has an extra tree that she said she'd lend to us which would be pretty awesome.
