Yes it is.
It's on Christmas albums and it's not played at any other time of the year.

[Rionach aka Spec K]

but technically it's not
it's a winter song about a snowman
no mention of xmas in the song
same w/walking in a winter wonderland

[JBetty]

Just because it doesn't have the word Christmas in it doesn't mean it's not a Christmas song.
Have you ever seen either of them on an album of non Christmas songs?
No. You haven't. And you won't. Because they're Christmas songs and they're only on Christmas albums.

Have you met PeaceFrog?

I think the two of you would get along smashingly. Simlar thought processes and all.

Well that's totally different now, isn't it.

Now it's Home For The Holidays.
Is that a Christmas song? Yay or Nay.

moreso than the other 2 as "the holidays" typically reference the time between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day (and in some countries up until Jan. 6)... also the reference to pumpkin pie connects it with Thanksgiving/Xmas somewhat

They're winter songs not holiday songs.

And she won't meet anyone on this board because she thinks you're all too hateful.

I can understand her fear.

I can understand her fear.

If you both think we're all too hateful, you two should ride off into the sunset, hand in hand and live happily ever after.


But ser.biz. Why do the two of you hang around here if that's how you really feel about us?

I don't think everyone here is hateful. I've made quite a lot of friends.

But, there is a Lord of the Flies element that this place takes on once in a while. It's just human nature I guess.

I just said I understand her fear. I didn't say I agree with it.

And then people say that I put words into their mouths... wow...

I doubt we'll be riding off into the sunset ever seeing as how we've chatted online here for almost 10 years and haven't ever met.

[Rionach aka Spec K]

It's certainly not a fear, just not interested.
Nor do I think everyone here is hateful.

[TheDHJ]

It's certainly not a fear, just not interested.

Then why bother posting here?

[Rionach aka Spec K]

Then why bother posting here?

why do you care whether I do or don't?

[TheDHJ]

why do you care whether I do or don't?

...and so it begins.

I care from a sociological perspective. 99% of people post here with the intent of making friends, meeting life partners, and sharing in the groove to coin a phrase.

You've so eloquently pointed out that you have no interest in any of those things. That statement makes me wonder why someone would post to a message board, and engage in social interaction with no intent of being social.

Add to that your perennial standoffish behavior, and it just points to one thing...troll.

[PeaceFrog]

I think some of her posts are interesting, but then again people think I'm a troll too, so whatevs.

[Rionach aka Spec K]

I guess that makes me part of the 1%
so sue me

if you don't care for my posts, use the ignore feature
it's not rocket science

You're definitely like the 1%.

I ask you an honest to goodness, well written question...

You give me a form letter with the same thing we've heard ad nauseum.

Why can't you just be honest? We may all understand you better that way.

[Rionach aka Spec K]

Then why bother posting here?

I ask you an honest to goodness, well written question...

congrats on your special question

[TheDHJ]

By the way, do you want to take the Fung Wah and come join us for the Boardie Foodie Extravaganza? We'd love to have you!!

The question is within my statement. You must really enjoy going back and forth, fighting with people and annoying them. We're all just trying to understand your M.O. here, that's all.

I know you've met boardies in person...but you acted weird and ran away...

people have accused me of being her

There is no question to me in that statement. You can wonder about me and my behavior all you want. I don't mind.

I know you've met boardies in person...but you acted weird and ran away...

I've met a couple here and there, yes.
If saying hi, how's it going or something similar is acting weird, then yes, I guess I acted weird. Have never run way.

[TheDHJ]

There is no question to me in that statement. You can wonder about me and my behavior all you want. I don't mind.

The question remains: why bother posting here if your only intention is to stir the beehive and be rude to people while not making any effort to make real connections?

[PeaceFrog]

I suppose everyone has a right to post here for whatever reason they choose... but I guess that's obvious... carry on.

[TheDHJ]

It's actually a privilege, and no one is denying her that.

[PeaceFrog]

yep, it's a privilege since it can be taken away... thanks for the correction.

It's THAT time of year again.
Every Tuesday and Thursday my office assistant puts on crappy Christmas music all day long.

[Ginger Snap]

The way money has come down this year I'm going to be mad dash shopping the weekend right before Christmas...

and "spill:" a cup of coffee on the music player rendering it inoperable.

[Lemireacle]

It's THAT time of year again.

Yup! sigh

The TV specials seemed to start a lot earlier this year. Either that or I've just become numb enough to the holiday to not pay attention.

[In A Silent Way]

When I came in this morning there was a paper on my desk inviting me to a Holiday Pot Luck Lunch. Sure, I'm going to bring my family's groceries to work.

You're sizzling on the grill, little lamb
Do you see what I see?
Some char, some char, forming on the lamb . .
and his tail is burning so bright.....

hearing xmas music this year is making me very sad
my Dad loved xmas music, decorating the tree, the house and all that...
he loved sitting around the fire on xmas eve, then going to sing at Midnight Mass every year...

Just because it doesn't have the word Christmas in it doesn't mean it's not a Christmas song.
Have you ever seen either of them on an album of non Christmas songs?
No. You haven't. And you won't. Because they're Christmas songs and they're only on Christmas albums.

Just came to point out that you're wrong, it is not technically a Christmas song. It's a wintertime song that The Man has appropriated and shoved down our throats every Christmas...but that doesn't make it any more about Christmas than it is about Easter or Halloween.

Show me a non-Christmas album this song is on.
You can't. because it's a Christmas song.
And it sucks when you're forced to listen to it 5 times a day.
