dunefreak Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Merry Christmas or Bah Humbug? I don't know if it's just me, but it seems this year the Christmas spirit just isn't in the air this year. Some years we do a traditional dinner, drink Wasail and have decorations up, but this year it came up so fast we aren't doing much. With all the dune trips lately getting stuff fixed and prepped, I don't even have time to think about putting up decorations. It's not like I'm really against it, but this year it's not really happening for me. Half my family is either working or not in town which doesn't help. It doesn't seem like I'm the only one. Even around town it doesn't feel like Christmas. So with that said- Bah Humbug, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone! We'll soon be celebrating with "family" in the sand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raspadoo Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 We used to go out the week after Christmas as well, running around and prepping cut into hanging with family and friends so we stopped doing it. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you as well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rzrbackxp Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Understood....My wife got all the inside decorations up, but starting up a new business and just didn't have the time to get all of the outside stuff done. I think I'm gonna be more stressed that I'm not going to get a lot of stuff done on Xmas day. Other than that I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe holidays! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam @ GTP Off Road Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 I'm a bit of a bah humbug. I hate being "forced" to buy presents for people they may not really even want. I tend to buy myself stuff, and blame it on Christmas, which seems to work well for me. I got my new goggles, and +3 Throttle body for the Raptor. I worked till 7:30pm yesterday including putting the TB on the Raptor. I spent most of the day today getting things ready to load up in my Toy Hauler for Vending. I've never really been big into decorating the house, and the kids seem to screw with stuff in our neighborhood anyway, so that would just piss me off if/when they trashed the decorations. I got all my Christmas shopping done last night between 7:30p and 9p. Luckily I just have to shop for my wife. Merry Christmas to DDR, and happy new year. See you in the Dunes.

ynot Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 I am of the same ilk this year. For some reason I haven't been in the real spirit of Christmas since the kids got big and then after the grandkids got big and well the joy of them being surprised is now replaced by expectations and that's a whole different feeling. One thing I do enjoy is meeting new people that family invites over cause they have no one in town or as the grand kids bring girlfriends and their parents over. Always something interesting to find out about new people. The food is always great and how can you go wrong with a nice Prime rib dinner and the fixings. Then it's the great rush to go grocery shopping Thursday morning and finish packing for the dunes. So all in all Christmas has lost a lot of it's meaning over the years' but is being replaced in other ways, so I guess it's a "push" Merry Christmas and a joyous safe New Year!!

santos2011 Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Neither... While my family has been in the house listening to Christmas music, baking cookies, taking pictures of gifts and the tree, preparing the big breakfast and dinner for Christmas... I have been in the garage underneath the truck, trying to find an oil leak, praying my paddles are gonna make one more trip, building a new light bar, and stressing if my buddy is gonna come through with a car hauler. And where the hell do I find one of those super tow straps (the ones that weave into itself) in 2 days? Ohh yea, Merry Christmas Everyone. @ 3:31 am Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nas6car Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 merry Christmas everyone. im new here, I guess Christmas came early for me. hanging out at Dumont over thanksgiving great weather, great new friends what a blast. you see my wife is in a longterm alcoholic rehab have not seen her since 2nd week in November, ouch. wanted to make it out to the dunes next week, but money is kinda tight. so skipping Christmas this year, I still have the little boy spirit, but no fun by yourself. 2014 we will be back, this going to the dunes once a year sucks. but its a long haul from so cal. will be there next thanksgiving, and hopefully more then one time. happy new year everyone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
