I realize that. I thought the latte would make me understand people's obsession...nope. Their coffees and speciality drinks are both gross.

I love dark strong coffee so I love their coffee. I think if you are used to drinking a medium blend then you won't like them. DH can't stand Starbucks

Love their Sumatra!

[andrewsgal]

Oh and I hate candy canes too. They are gross and sticky. They are also DDs favorite thing in the whole world.

[justbecause]

Yeah she gives interesting gifts ;-)

DH hates the National lampoon Christmas. I don't get the hate.
I like candy canes in peppermint bark. Yum.

Same.  I've caught bits and pieces, but never sat and watched it.  Don't feel the need to either.

Aw hell, I meant to quote Kimbus' post about having your pets sign Christmas cards...

Anyways, our two dogs' names were totally part of the sign-off on our Christmas cards this year. But we're annoying dog people. I even addressed cards to families AND their pets.

Same here, ew.

My middle daughter would disagree with you both.  She potty trained on candy canes. or bits of them.  She had holiday mint M&M cookies for school snack on her birthday, got peppermint M&Ms as a gift, peppermint oreos & peppermint lotion/body wash, etc.  She is a huge mint fan.

I don't trust anyone who doesn't like Christmas Vacation. Your husband is wrong.

[justbecause]

Yeah. I love me some national lampoon and Clark Griswald so I don't get it.

You serious, Clark?

[stevenpmorrissey]

How the hell do I reply to a post?! Arg!

Pets are family members in my book. And if I addresed your Christmas card to you and your nine-year-old mutt, it's because I know you dearly love that dog. My dogs have their own stockings along with the rest of the family. And they get their names on the Christmas card. I ain't embarrassed, y'all.

I get it. Shitty gift. Whatever. I will make up for it on one of the other eleventy billion gift giving opportunities. I am not in the right kind 9f mood to hash and rehash my poor gift giving, so I will come back later.

I am sorry you asked for opinions in your post so we gave them. I never meant to hurt your feelings really I apologize.

It's fine. I have a lot going on that I haven't really talked about and I'm just sad that it's happening so close to Christmas. Normally I can handle it but apparently not today.

Hey, let your freak flag fly, what do I care? But it is funny given the argument discussion about addressing envelopes. Is it "Smith Family and Fido" or "John, Susan, and Fido Smith"?

Thinking of you cna.  Let us know if you need anything.

Thanks. I'm not ready to talk about it but I appreciate the kind words. On top of everything else, DS1 spiked a fever and started complaining that his throat hurts when he swallows. His class is having a pajama party tomorrow and watching Frozen and The Polar Express and he was going to hand out his birthday invitations. Poor kid feels so crappy he doesn't even care that he will miss it.

I think Starbucks coffee is gross. I got an eggnog latte there the other day thinking I'd like it because I love egg nog....nope.

I made the mistake of getting a Starbucks eggnog latte a few years back & YUCK!  It was so gross & I was so upset I wasted my money I made myself drink it, doh!

Traditional ones?  There are a million kinds.  Do you just not like hard candy?  Or is it the shape?  I'm confused.

I guess for me it's not so much anything but the peppermint.  I don't like peppermint anything.

That would be Ralphie. He wants a BB gun for Christmas. And for you to watch his movie.

But don't, because you'll want to shoot your eye out.
