I always thought that Whales Dont Eat Poop would make a great T shirt. On the back it can say :
Before 12 O’ Clock.

squee4242: Thanks for the fill in. So, I’ll get to find out who this Mare person is too? I keep seeing him/her/it mentioned, but don’t know what everyone’s talking about. Guess I’ve got some reading to do. To that end, yeah I agree, Matt, if you’re reading this, since I’m trying to go back and check out all the old Advent calendars for the first time and I’m sure some other folks would like to go back and read them, what do you think about squee’s suggestion? I tried doing a search on the home page but got a lot of various links to individual articles, but had some trouble just finding the first calendar and moving on from there. I’d like to read them in order if possible, and preferably before the new one starts. Anything you could do would be much appreciated. Thanks!

OK, I think we all agree the weather messed with our Ween. But going into Christmas, I’m trying not to “rush it” ya know? I think thats what killed Hween for me. “Forcing” the holiday makes it crappy. So I’m trying to take it easy. Maybe even till Thanksgiving. Gasp! Off to read new Knacks entries on his blog.

JLA, my little brother picked up a jug of nog the other day (by the way, Oklahomans, Braum’s now stocks their egg nog), I just can’t do it until Thanksgiving. After that, game on! I absolutely love egg nog.

Leigha, I’m 25, with 23, 21, and 20 year old brothers and my mom also puts “From: Santa” on some tags. These gifts are usually left stacked in their office and not put out under or around the tree (my parents house is CRAZY when it comes to presents under/around the tree, especially Christmas morning) until Christmas Eve night after everybody is asleep. Also the time they stuff the stockings.

As soon as we wake up we all grab a glass of egg nog and make our ways into the living room, the tv is turned on (tuned to TBS from the night before) and my brothers and I all try to guess where at in the movie it is. We’ve done this as long as I can remember.

First are the stockings (with 1 orange in the toe) that usually has walnuts, small boxes of raisins, chocolates, toothbrush, chap stick, gloves/boxers/socks, TONS of Slim Jims, 1 Pez dispenser, and usually some random food that my brothers and I all like (my brother gets salsa, I usually get some weird gourmet mustard (i love gourmet mustards), etc).

Then someone pushes all of our presents to wherever we’re sitting in the living room and we dig in.

I love these mornings. It’s a relived memory each and every year, the biggest changes are the presents themselves which aren’t very high on my important list anyway. It’s the unofficial traditions like these I love and will miss but will hopefully look forward to sharing with my kids some day.

Heh Goob that just played over here, I got a laugh out of it.
Matt, I think you need a permanent link to the Advent calendars on the front page all year, based on how many people manage to miss them. Can’t wait to see the shirt idea. If you pull it together in time, I predict a lot of happy X-E’rs on Christmas morning.
DJ D, the answer to your question is in the advent calendars. I envy you, getting to meet Mare and the gang for the first time.
