He just wants it to be over

So the holidays are in full swing and the men in our lives aren’t exactly as jolly as Ole’ Saint Nick. What do you do? Well ladies, you should keep in mind that holidays are a lot of work, expectations, and headaches for guys. After polling a few of my favorite guys, here are the main reasons men are often channeling Mr. Scrooge:

Shopping. It’s rare that you meet a guy who just adores shopping. It’s tolerable when you are buying for yourself but when you have to step to the dark side (read: pink and girly side) of the crowded stores, your eyes may start to glaze over!

Honey-Do List: From unwinding that big bundle of lights, to hauling in a tree from the truck, this time of year men are called upon to do a laundry list of things. When these things interrupt watching sports? Oh, not a happy camper!

Expectations: Let’s face it, some men feel pressure during the holidays: impress the family, be cordial to co-workers, devote quality time to the kids, and other obligatory social expectations that may exist (internal or external). Not to mention the challenge in buying the ideal gift.

Guys, we know you could add to this list (and feel free to do so!) but what are the things you actually enjoy about the holidays? How do you relax and unwind during the holiday madness and rush?

What do you think your family, friends, dates, or significant others could do to ease the pressures of this season for you?

Ladies, are you dating Mr. Scrooge? Have you ever dated someone who was extremely difficult during this time of year? How did you handle it? Did you give him his space? What are fun ways to hype the holiday season for the men in your lives?

Well, I don’t have that much stress as the “Gift Card King”. I give you the card, you buy the gift, no need to shop (or return) and we’re all done.

Other than the lights, the tree, and the mandatory visits….I’m cool.

Morning, everyone. :-)

Off-topic: For those of you who might be interested (Peach), I’ve just posted the Janaury issue of my newsletter on my Web site at www.blackthen.com.

On-topic Given that I’m not dating anyone right now, I can’t say that I’ll have much of any value to add in the context of today’s topic. However, I will say that, generally speaking, the whole frenetic and chaotic nature of this time of year has never really bothered me. Perhaps it’s because I’m still naive enough to take the “Charlie Brown” approach to Christmas.

Call me crazy, but I actually enjoy getting out among all the people, dining out at a nice restaurant packed with friends and family enjoying good food and good company. Even the snail’s-pace traffic doesn’t bother me. I just set the radio to Sirius channel 86 and I’m good to go. :-)

Hello All! Hi Dan.

I haven’t had this problem with any of the guys I have dated. The last man I dated loved shopping, spending money and going to the xmas tree farm. He was so into the family stuff.

When men pull any of the above, their being selfish. They must realize that others exist in this world too.

Good morning blogsville.

On topic: I never thought of myself as a scrooge until saturday. I went to a party where the hostess had really made her house up. Candles, tree, xmas objects everywhere. All I could say is Bah humbug. The sad part is I have the xmas items and just don’t put them out anymore. I defintely need to up my xmas game.

By Annalisa

The problem is that you don’t have a reason to put the xmas items up. You don’t have any kids or a wife. Maybe next year it’ll be different. wink, wink.

Your 8:50 to Truth makes a good point. I can say that because I think that applies to me as well. I truly enjoy Christmas, but you wouldn’t know it inside my house, because have no decorations or antyhing put up. I’ve got Christmas music playing all the time, but that’s just about it.

Maybe that’ll change for me next year, too. wink, wink ;-)

Happy Holidays Everyone!!

YES, my SO is a scrooge. He doesn’t want any decorations around the house or Stockings for us to put little gifts in. He told me what he was going to get me for Christmas which let the air out of the bag so I asked him to get me something else! One day we’ll get this whole gift giving thing down or get rid of it altogether!

Oh yeah, I asked him about going shopping for his baby boy that we’ll have the day after Christmas and he said he’ll wait until the after Christmas sale…

Good morning handsome! It will happen for you. Just keep doing your thing and the next thing you know you will be bumping right into her. I wish that for all of us.

My girls and I were talking about how hard it is for a man to be monogamous. Is it really that hard for you guys?

I guess I fall in line with the other guys so far this morning…no christmas decor in my either.

*Lady Dark with Dimples * I don’t see a problem with waiting until the after christmas sales to do some baby shopping. Actually, I think that’s the financially responsible thing to do…definitely the kind of quality you want in a man. Go with him on this one; he’ll appreciate it.

Morning everyone!

I’ve never experienced this problem with a man before. All that I’ve dated have generally been very good with welcoming christmas. I think that men in general can ge great shoppers. I’ve always gotten gifts that showed they put some thought into the whole gift buying process. As for decorations…I have tons of things, but I grow tired when it’s time to place them around the house…wonder why?

good morning all! hey ladies thanks to the ladies who came out last night in the bitter cold to Atlantic Station. it was nice to put a name to a face.:)

Ladies, are you dating Mr. Scrooge? Have you ever dated someone who was extremely difficult during this time of year? How did you handle it? Did you give him his space? What are fun ways to hype the holiday season for the men in your lives?

Can’t say I’m dating a Scrooge. I don’t have a honey bunny on lockdown right now but maybe I will by Jan. 1st…lol. A way to make it fun though is by taking some of the pressure off. When men think that their finances are going to take a major hit to fulfill our Christmas wishes, they can act a little funky. I like to keep it simple so the mood stays right. For instance, I’m a toy buff so Elmo would be the perfect gift for me…lol. I’d skip a Prada, Gucci or Coach bag for that. Now who could be a scrooge w/that kind of request?

Anna your right. Its just me and my sister so no big deal. That chicks house was made up so nice tho. Any dude would love to come home to a get-up like that. Plus she set it out with the food. HMMMMM and all cooked by the hostess. I brought the tighest dish if I say so myself.

The flip side of this is xmas has become so commercial. The gifts get more expensive and less thrilling each year. I feel for those whose children request a Playstation or xbox. You’ve got to sell land to buy those things.

Darrell we suffer from selfish single man syndrome. LOL

Annalisa

Per your 9:32, would you mind me asking how old are your girls? I ask only because it’s really cool that you seem to have a good relationship with them where you can engage them in conversations such as that.

By the way, to answer your question, being monogamous has never been an issue for me. Even in situations where the relationship ultimately didn’t work out, I would simply part ways as opposed to venturing out into some sort of extracurricular thing. Of course, I can only speak for myself, but, again, I’ve never found it to be difficult.

Off Topic Totally..What in the world is going on with my Steeler D?…I know Mike Tomlin opened up the can o whip azz on them and they deserve it. I swear by games end I wanted to make them all run naked in the snow.

On Topic..I am not a Bah Humbug for Xmas, but I don’t have the holiday decorations going and I didnt make any baked goodies this year.(as my son pointed out there was no Amish Friendship bread made) I mean I enjoy the holidays but frankly I am so tired from all the running around this year I really just would like to relax and do nothing. I mean I will cook but otherwise a day in my sweats just relaxing sounds wonderful.

kinderbabe I’m sorry that I missed the event last night. Between being at church for 5 hours, visiting with family, and that cold air, I decided to stay home. :-( I’m glad you guys had a great time.

I haven’t dated a Scrooge before, everybody I’ve been with was cool with Christmas. They’ve probably not felt pressure because I didn’t feel pressured, and therefore put none on them. I hate a mall, so that keeps me from dragging them into one.

But I am getting a little tired of the Christmas decorations thing. I knew I’d eventually put them up, but I wasn’t looking forward to it. I had help this year, so it was a lot more fun and I love the result.

On topic: since I live alone..I have a decoration on my door and a mistletoe hanging…not that it gets any use. I play my Christmas music….but that is it. I will do the tree when Iget home this weekend with my parents and pick up the gifts. I would love a guy who likes to shop. But most of those are gay…so go figure.

I also played Nasty Santa for the 1st time. (No sex involved) Its a game dealing with gifts and someone else being able to take a gift you select. I’m like Dan I brought a gift card, works every time.

Let me say that it is okay to be selfish this time of year because xmas means love, family and food. Since you are single, you have a pass this year. :)

We talk about everything here in the office. You would turn red if you caught 5 minutes of it. Just last week, I taught my young co-worker how to give a bj. LOL.

Saturday, Basin After Dark came on. He stated that men are not monogamous and it’s tough for them. I’m getting to the point of allowing it. The others aren’t trying to hear that. What I’m trying to explain to these knuckle heads is that the divorce rate would go down and there would be more two parent homes.

Good day all…

Due to recent events I have been forced to take a look at my life and prioritize the things that are truly important to me, the path I am on and how I can be truly successul. Therefore Christmas is no longer a thought to me. Do I consider myself a Scrooge? NO - I do not think that Christmas as we know it is important to me at all. The tree, lights and candles, the fat guy in the suit hold no meaning and never really did. Its all for the children of which I am not and do not have any of my own. Christmas to me has become completely irrelevant. It’s just an excuse for me to do everyone else a favor. I’m all out of favors

Dude lighten up. Nobody’s asking you to give a kidney, just a card, a kind word, encouragement. In that respect, the Spirit of Christmas should be celebrated all year round.

It’s not about money, and I didn’t realize that till I was dead broke. Then, I learned that for some people, just me being around was enough of a present. Be easy…..and Merry Christmas.

@Beautiful…

Any questions regarding men and fidelity should be forwarded to the Poobah’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus…. “Next Question!”

This post was actually written by Blat’s assistant, who is RSVP’ing to the MLB Social, Shoe Modeling establishment TBD at a later date. “I got 5,000 $1’s looking for da baddest Itch in the Club!!!!”

You always talk about how you have this girl and that girl and how you pull ‘em left and right, so with all that you have and continue to say, I would think that you wouldn’t have to pull such a stunt. I would think you would be beating them down with a stick, right?

DIRECTIONS In the top of a double boiler, combine egg yolks and evaporated milk.

For those Mamas in attendance you had to shake your head at some of their outfits. Much like, I think Dan who said why do women wear tight jeans and boots to the movies. That was the uniform last night. OMG, the hoochiness was off da chain. Me, I had on a turtle neck, jeans and SNEAKERS. My daughter no doubt would have had a better time with another 13 year old, but she had to get her groove on with Mama sitting beside her for the time being…LOL.

Truth I got plenty side dishes to share. The best are the fresh greens. Go to your local farmer’s market for variety. Try broccolini, french green beans, asparagus (try white, but remember to peel it). All of those can be parboiled in salted water, submerged in ice water, paper toweled, then sauteed in butter and olive oil (or bacon drippens if you partake in the swine) with maybe some fresh chopped garlic and red peper flakes. Or maybe some roasted winter veggies with garlic olive oil and salt and cracked black pepper in the oven on like 450. (The grn beans are good with crisped bacon sprinkled on them not fake bacon.

I told everyone to get me a BestBuy gift card this year because I need to get a bigger ipod - that way if my nephew gives me a $5 gift card, it will be more valuable to me than the $7 bubble bath kit he got me last year (that I re-gifted because I didn’t like the scent).

When I lived in ATL, my nephew and I would put up my decorations together. Now that I’m in TX and I’m gone over the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays I don’t put up decorations. Which is funny because it’s a big deal in my neighborhood - my street looks like an airport landing strip and my house is the lone black house on the the street.

Truth, I’m pretty sure I would have been wonderfully surprised. From what you have told me, you’ve come a long way baby and continuing to improve.

Cemeeli, they all performed. PDiddy did one stansa of his hit song that I can’t seem to remember and got off the stage. My daughter knew everyone’s name, but couldn’t remember Big Boi’s name. Omarion had a very long performance w/Bow Wow. Don’t want to bog you guys down, but Chris Brown’s entrance via animation was OFF DA CHAIN!!!!!!!! Yes, he certainly has knocked Usher out of the box for now. Yes, Bey is the new Tina.

What’s funny there was a mother sitting in front of me who didn’t rock not ONE TIME to anything. I may be old school, but you best believe I’m rocking to old school and not sitting at a concert as though I’m 99 years old.

Annalisa Why do I feel like the blog h- today? LOL.

Girl, lookahere, I don’t know for sure…but it could be because you brought up bj’s early this morning with no prior warning or coercion. j/k (not really) LOL!

SJ when a few of the blog females said that Chris Brown could ” get it”…

Just about the only thing Chris could “get” for me would be his uncle, cause his daddy might be too old. He’s a doll, but he’s a baby doll…

Truth I’m going to try your Mac and Cheese recipe. I’ll let you know how it turns out.

…Alvin…Simone…Theodore!!!…Club School Bus Stop is open for service!

I have a gf that want so to address that issue with these young ladies but she is just “intimidated”.

She tells me b/c some of them are so rebelious and defiant that she only talk to the ones that are approachable. Those same young ladies (in her neighborhood) that know her & know that she has nieces that come over and they all go shopping. Are always calling to ask her if this or that is appropriate AND mamma is right there in the house with them.

SJ Though I will admit, I was a little crazy about Omarion a few years back. His dancing just blew me away, though he can’t really sing. Chris Brown came out of nowhere and stole the hellz out of Omarion’s, Mario’s, and Marques Houston’s audience.

What is Usher going to have to do next to top him??

Usher What are you going to do next to top Chris Brown?? If all of your kids perform with you, you could be “The Raymond 4”…

Cemeeli Are always calling to ask her if this or that is appropriate AND mamma is right there in the house with them.

Now that’s sad! Since I’m just on the east side of 30, I’m getting to the point now where I feel confident in addressing teens about their dress. I did tell one young man in church that I could see his draws and to pull his pants up. Kids I don’t know, I might be more reluctant to approach like your friend. But they do need adults to guide them while they’re still impressionable, especially if their parents aren’t doing it.

For those not in the know:

Dave Chappelle has a routine that begins:

“Women confuse men by dressing one way and then expect a different kind of treatment. Like clear heels, clear heels is the [ho] uniform, but when you treat them like that, they get offended.”

He continues: “That’s like me dressing as a police officer, badge and all, and then when someone comes and says ‘officer we need help, someone has been shot’, then I have right to be offended”. He scoffs: “Just because I’m dressed this way doesn’t mean that I am a police officer, I just chose this outfit for today. It makes me feel good about myself.”

Foots, I will tell someone to pull their pants up or adjust the amount of cleavage that is showing. Truly, some of them just don’t know it’s not right. Just because it’s the norm doesn’t make it right!

Li’s Demi, you ready for dessert?

Cemeeli you read like one strong muth..er..mother, go a head and open that gift up.

If son complaints about getting a use gift, hit him with your meanest sista girl look…legs apart…one hand on hip…and the other hand searching for a missile

Alvin is now having flashbacks

Foots thank you for “helping” that young man.

When she tell me that their moms ARE around i’m like, are you serious? My gf is one of those chics that can EASILY speak the young folks lingo and next 5-10min will engage them in business minded conversations/mentality. One paticular young lady had NO intentions of going to college but didn’t know what she wanted to do…(you’ve seen the type). My f asked the young lady if she brought her back 3-5 college response letters she would make it here buz to help her fill the apps out & take her shopping. Results as of right now = this young lady is the SGA president at her school. Just lil stuff to show these young folk they have a voice & their decisions ARE important.

Cemeeli What your girlfriend did is truly making a difference with pushing that young lady to determine her future. I, on the other hand, just succeeded in not allowing the folks in pews 6-15 to get mooned. :-)

I’m going to leave it in the stocking b/c lil guy petitoned me lastnight. * his lil gift wrapped in notebook paper* That if i would not look, touch, or pick up the package from him to me. Plus i think it’s an letter of aplogy in there also. Exp after 2 day punishement.

Reason for the “I’m sorry mamma leter”: Friday my son told another student in the school that the aftercare teacher sucks! And the teacher’s friend overheard them. Couldn’t wait to share that with me.

Demi you’d be surprised this community and others are full of the likeminded AND the VERY successful. But because ‘we” are soo busy with IMAGE the kids are falling by the wayside. Thats usually my sentiment when i hear of what is going on i’m like :-0 (mouth open). insert WTH here.
