ingo Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 No, and i think its forbidden in Canada to talk about XMas, its just called holiday season; some strange political correctness is going on there. ingo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Jeff Mottle Posted December 4, 2002 Administrators Share Posted December 4, 2002 LOL! Yeah I guess you read that thread on the MAX forums huh. I don't consider myself to be an overly religeous person and don't go to church, but even I think that whole "Holiday Tree" and "Holiday Season" crap has gone a bit too far. What's next the "holdiday candle sticks"? Anyway CHristmas is alive and well in Canada with the excpetion a few mindless politicians who have nothing better to do with our tax dollars than dream up politically correct terms.

vizwhiz Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 hi There Jeff and All seasons greetings from hell (well, actually its only arizona, close enough) i cant STAND XMAS moo-sick i have literally thrown up because of XMAS moo-sick (not joking) its against my religion to go to church, any church (i dont discriminate amongst religions) The Devil is in The Details, (he made me say That) i dont believe that Time exists therefore Hollidaze are totally meaningless which just made me Think of a new oxymoron (hint) if Less is More, is meaning less therefore more moronic? my son says that "There is only One Day" so why do people act like lemmings seasonly because someone somewhere printed a d*mn calendar (unless it is the Sports Illustrated calendar or features Luisa Corna) it says that is The End of The Year (maybe its near The End of The World as we know it) clue #2 it doesnt snow in Arizona, only when Hell freezes over (ok it has happened 2x in 50 years) so how can it possibly feel like xmassy ok way off, off-topic but i wanted to take the Time to respond (its just that Time of the Year to do This) ok at least (if only 1) 1 positive Thing to say along Time ago i saw a really cute xmas Architectural Card that was like a cd set it was a miniature set of bluelines, 4x6 inches A1 cover sheet with a project perspective and Company Title, miniature site plan A2 floor plan of santa clause (who dat?) North Pole residence (existing and proposed remodel) A3 South Elevation A4 South Elevation A5 South Elevation A6 South Elevation A6 Building Section (get The Joke?) i Think ArchVision has an RPC Santa all that they need now is some moveable Reindeer HAY HOW ABOUT A NORTH POLE IMAGE CONTEST !! that would be seasonal for This Time of The Year i have only been in snow 1x in 37 years (big mistake, i got 2x bad knees way too cold) Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Cassil Posted December 5, 2002 Share Posted December 5, 2002 I'm with you Strat. I love Christmas! I love the music, the gifts, all the candy from consultants and reps in the office, and I like Christmas shopping to the point that I was at Wal-Mart at 5:00 a.m. for the door-busters (Do they have Wal-Mart in Wales?). Most of all I'm looking forward to watching my 5 year old daughter and 2 year old son open thier gifts Christmas Morning. I don't know how many of you have kids but I have a hard time believing anyone could not enjoy Christmas if they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Jeff Mottle Posted December 5, 2002 Administrators Share Posted December 5, 2002 Ahhhh, Xmas shopping. I knew there was something I was fogetting to do. LOL. All will be Chritmasy once I get my tree this weekend. It ain't Xmas 'till I can smell pine tree smell when I wake up in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ingo Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 Thats the smell of death mate, the smell of a fresh cut tree just used for a two day decoration period, thats sad. Another weird thing is to tell all the kids the lie of a fat, homeless Coca-Cola guy in a red pyjama bringing christmas presents , no wonder the kids wont trust any adult nowadays. Not to forget how many power the extraordinary lightshows in the city and at home costs. Well guys, thats definitly not my meaning of christmas. If you want to hear about the real christmas reason and some behind-the-scenes-info, go to your local church, there's a guy in black who knows a lot about that all. Overall i think the political correctness of some Canadian politicians is just a reaction to this PR-Christmas. So have a nice winter season (summer season for all Australians ), enjoy the real Christmas and think about it. "grumpy" ingo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plastic Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 its hard to get christmasy when it rains 24/7. vienna is the city of eternal overcast. the trick is to keep the temperature slightly over 1-3°C to avoid snowfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Jeff Mottle Posted December 6, 2002 Administrators Share Posted December 6, 2002 Oh don't worry all the Xmas trees in Canada eiterh come from Xmas tree farms or from Utility rigth of ways. People don't actually cut down forests for them. We leave that for the logging companies. From the highways all look beatiful, 50m back all you see is miles of stumps..now that is sad. Anyway, MERRY XMAS to everyone! Originally posted by ingo: [QB]Thats the smell of death mate, the smell of a fresh cut tree just used for a two day decoration period, thats sad.

ingo Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 Yes, i remembered when i was on Vancouver Island i have seen this "nice" version of clearcut, but sometimes even complete hills. I hope when i'm there next time the trees have grown again. inGo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest consist mostly of evil-looking sausages, clear soups with indescribable dumplings bobbing around, and lots of potatoes and boiled beef. Oh, and of course, Wiener Schnitzel.
