I have a soft spot for some of both. Personally, nothing does it as well for me as Felix Navidad.
"I wanna wish you a merry Christmas, I WANNA WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS...."
Reminders of my first job in the summer sorting trolleys of stock out the back of a huge supermarket with good buddies very early in the morning. Now THAT'S Christmas for me!

You don't know how untrue that it lol... I thought my first house party would be ok, thought nothing would get damaged or wrecked..
Oh boy was I wrong.. now-a-days I only go to other people's house parties lol, that's where I'm headed this New Years.

Haha well I have made the people coming promise they will stay until it is tidy ( haha I know I am such a fun loving party host
) And of course anybody is welcome to come if you would like to commute all the way to Derby
But trust me that is not such a good idea.. however good the party is it won't be worth the pain of coming to this horrible place 
Haha sorry off topic, anyway...I personally think that the best thing about christmas is chocolate coins
which I am currently gorging myself on now

Another bit of advice, don't invite people from the internet, because people who read it will have friends and then you'll end up like this:

Haha oh dear me... My house is similar to that one and my surname is the same as that girl
But don't worry I am only inviting people I actually know aren't going to act like idiots ( and trust me that is surprisingly few
) and my fb invitations are set to private 
I think I only want around 15-20 people cos otherwise it will get to messy I am actually proud about how mature and responsible I am being about this whole party thing

That's a good number. But if someone asks you if they can bring someone say yes, because you never know who you might meet. As long as you trust the person asking.
And stash anything breakable in the most difficult place to get at. The roof, if you have somewhere in the roof to stash things.
Anyone staying over definitely has to help clean up. And I say that because when I stay over I always do.
I just found out I'm working with people I like on New Years, but I'm wiolling to bet they'll be tanked by the time time I get there, so it could be a funny 10 hours or so.

Ouch! A girl from my old school was in the paper about getting her house trashed after telling everyone on facebook, but I don't think they caused that much damage! I'd hate to be in that girl's shoes...

Hey, JHyde -- it just started snowing here (Washington, DC area) for the first time this season -- coming down heavily in big fat flakes. I can hear the neighbor's kids outside already playing in it.
RE: Spooky Holidays - JHyde - 05-12-2009 05:07 PM
I know! I saw it was a TT on twitter and expressed my subsequent amazement given how insanely hot it is over here. I hope you have it at Christmas. I bet DC is beautiful at Christmas too.
You know I completely forgot chocolate money. I LOVE chocolate money! I alos love that you can buy better quality chocolate money as you get older
I tease a friend of mine who's as nominally Jewish as they come that he's a chocolate money Jew, because he gets them on Hannukah. He's also my only other mate who watches this show.

Hanukkah gelt! Forgot all about that, too!
