| 920 | Article | Vaporman87 | Wow! Where to begin? So much of what you have gone into here I can relate to. For starters, I can't agree with you enough regarding commercials during the Parade. Good grief, does there really need to be THAT many breaks in the action? I suppose if you had recorded it previously (as you mentioned), you could simply fast forward through the commercials... but it shouldn't have to be that way. Putting up the tree as a kid was not something we really did much as a family. Now that I have my own little family, we DO make it an occasion (especially the choosing of the tree and the star that will adorn the top). An what Christmas would be complete without the right television specials and films? When you're a child, it doesn't really matter what you're told or how you're taught... you are GOING to remain solely focused on presents. How can you not? So a kid can hardly be liable for not desiring to attend a church service in the midst of such excitement. And I say that as a Christian myself. Thankfully, the actual time for opening presents (and playing with them) and attending service rarely conflicted for me. Finally, I share your affinity for snow. During the beginning of this month, we were in Florida. It was so strange to see all the Christmas lights and hubbub in such a warm climate. I felt like something was missing. Then, in the Magic Kingdom, there are places and times when "fake" snow (consisting of clumped up bubbles) fall from the sky. I felt sad for those there that have never actually seen the real deal. That fake snow made me long for home and the real thing. Great first article SF! Thanks so much for sharing! | Dec 18, 2013 |  | |
| 921 | Article | Mr Magic | That Urkel pic reminds me of all the Family Matters Christmas specials they used to show on ABC. Those writers really understood how to make Christmas episodes. | A White Christmas | Dec 18, 2013 | |
| 922 | Article | SegaFanatic | Thanks for reading, Vaporman! It means a lot! And thecrow, yeah. I loved the Family Matters Christmas specials. I probably should've gotten a picture from those, but oh well. | A White Christmas | Dec 18, 2013 | |
| 925 | Article | Fulton4V | I missed the thanksgiving parade this year. Was there a Garfield ballon in it this year again? That was one of my favorite balloon characters every year. I like this article segafan. | A White Christmas | Dec 19, 2013 | |
| 916 | Article | Vaporman87 | What is it about Santa (the live action ones) that so many children fear? Both of my sons DO NOT want anything to do with him, though they sure do love the presents he brings! I don't remember a time when I ever feared Santa, but I'm sure there was one. It's almost like a rite of passage for children to overcome the fear of hopping up on his lap to list your wants that year. What I like about this most, is that I had completely forgotten about the old 900 numbers you could use to call Santa. I personally never used them, but I remember now all the commercials that aired each year. Funny stuff. Thanks for this pikachulover! | The Many Forms of Santa | Dec 17, 2013 | |
| 918 | Article | SegaFanatic | Intresting article, never seen this before! | The Many Forms of Santa | Dec 17, 2013 | |
| 919 | Article | pikachulover | I think for me the fear stemmed from me thinking Santa was involved with those shady telephone number business people. I have a cousin, and when she was a kid she was afraid of all Santa things even drawings in books and wooden Christmas ornaments. | The Many Forms of Santa | Dec 18, 2013 | |
| 926 | Article | Fulton4V | I was always afraid of santa because he would not bring me the presents I asked for if I was not good that year. It made me nervous to talk to him when we saw him. Ha! | The Many Forms of Santa | Dec 19, 2013 | |
| 897 | Article | Vaporman87 | WOW! This is a really well done article, and it's obvious you spent a great deal of time putting it together. So thank you for that vkimo. One thing I picked up on right away is that, although our Christmas experiences were so different growing up, the spirit of it and the magic feeling of the season can be felt regardless. Having grown up and lived my entire life in an ultra small community, I can't relate to the splendor and awe of a place like San Fran during Christmas. Even so, I recognize that feeling from my own memories. It's something that transcends your environment and circumstances. I laughed at the insertion of Rain Man and the generic fat guy as stand ins for your relatives. LOL. Hilarious. Thanks for this vkimo. A great read! | A Yuletide Yakking | Dec 12, 2013 | |
| 898 | Article | Benjanime | vkimo, why are all of your articles masterpieces? | A Yuletide Yakking | Dec 12, 2013 | |
