I'm kinda of a picky eater myself. I remember eating plenty of christmas candy, though, especially chocolate.

I can also be a picky eater, but more so when I was younger and especially when I was a kid. There are still consistencies I can't eat (any slimy food for instance) and I gag when there is something icky in my food, like fat or a small bone.
I've never had any problems with chocolate though! :lol:

So, for you, the 23rd is Christmas Eve and 24th is Christmas Day?

No, the 24th is Christmas Eve and our main celebration. In the morning and early afternoon there are cartons to watch. In the later afternoon we eat a very tasty pork roast meal and dessert, and after the meal we open presents. For Norwegian kids, Christmas Eve although nice, is very long! :lol: Personally I'm glad it is that way though, because it's more fun to be excited the entire day than start the day with opening the presents, as I did on my birthdays. It's part of Norwegian Christmas.

On the 25th, the main event is over. Some people spend the rest of Christmas visiting family and relatives. We always spent the afternoon and evening of Christmas Eve with my maternal grandparents, and spent the rest of the Christmas enjoying our new things (playing with new toys in the case of my much younger self), watching movies and playing games. Now it's just the 3 of us, but the rest is the same. Both I and my mother loves games, and this year I'm giving her two games, and I look forward to playing them after the 24th.

Christmas Eve is the big deal here, even though it's not technically a red day in the calendar, but shops are only open a few hours, everything closes early on Christmas Eve. The 25th and 26th are both red days, so stores and whatnot are closed.

How about all the days before Christmas? That was enough excited waiting for me. I never liked it, It just caused me anxiety.

Oh. I always loved waiting for it, because even though it was very hard, it was thrilling and delicious and exciting. It gave me that wonderful feeling of butterflies in my stomach and is a cherished memory for me. I'm sorry to hear it caused you anxiety, Kyle.

I take it you like the suspense?

The TV Channel Buzzr is great! All the old game shows: Press Your Luck, Richard Dawson's Family Feud, Match Game, etc. . .

Yes, I like the good kind of suspense, like gifts are.

Not the bad kind though, like waiting for the result of a test your doctor took of you, or other potentially serious outcomes.


We don't have that channel, but game shows aren't something I'm really into anyway. I don't have a fave channel, only fave shows. Of the current series, I'm watching "Okkupert", "The Walking Dead", "Zoo" and "The 100".

I faithfully watched 'The Following', they cancelled it.

I faithfully watched 'Forever', they cancelled it.

I faithfully watched 'Dexter', they cancelled it.

I faithfully watched 'Hannibal', they cancelled it.

I faithfully watched 'Numbers', they cancelled it.

I faithfully watched 'The Closer', they cancelled it.

I am now worried about 'Person Of Interest'

and 'NCIS'.

Sigh.

:o

I hate it when they cancel series I'm really into, like they did with some of my faves:

Terra Nova

Tremors

Invasion

Nightmare Cafe

Firefly and Twin Peaks.

At least Breaking Bad, MASH, Mad Men, The Sopranos, Boardwalk Empire, Sons of Anarchy, The Shield, and The Wire all had actual endings.
