How exactly is that like? Outfits vary greatly with just a decade or so.

imagine a great grandmother, for most persons that is within a 25 year scale. it is not a specific set of clothes but a general style that was popular between 1900 and 1960

Nah can't imagine it.
There are so many styles and fashions in the world.
Image references is easier to understand tho.

then put it out of your mind

Sure no problem

so, do you celebrate xmas? my mother-in-law is making me practice it this years(she did it last year too but since we live together it is more than a tree and some presents)

I did tell my christmas tradition in some thread. Left out a lot of course, like the rice pudding and rhymes.
One thing i haven't said yet, i don't think of Christmas as a religious holiday.
It's just a new name for Yule and it's simply a celebration of family, food and gifts for me.
Mom forces us to go to church on Christmas but only on Christmas even if she doesn't care either Probably as a way for her to see which people in the village still lives there and is alive or something.

uh.... ok then >x> that did not really answer my question but whatever, you do things during xmas time

It didn't? What were you after by asking then?

do you celebrate xmas. like literally, do you celebrate that specific holiday

I celebrate with presents, food and company on the 24th and call it Christmas but no not xmas i don't know even what it is exactly? Could you tell me?

it is the non-religious parts, trees and presents and food and family

So basically what i do and probably most people who claim to celebrate christmas do but you are bothered enough to give it another name?

i was by no means the first >x>;;; not by a long shot

xmas is just another name for Christmas.

>3> do i spy a toho lurking in my thread? -offers cookies-

Fun fact: "xmas" is an actual historical Christian way of rendering the word "Christmas," as the x was sometimes used as a shorthand for christ at various times (I wanna say do to early persecution, but I'm not certain there, so I'll not say that definitively).

i have not heard it used for the holiday but the x HAS been used as shorthand, the fish thing too(in fact the fish was explicitly made as a secret sign)

You are always welcome to share more facts, that was interesting.

yes, the X in Xmas is actually the Greek letter chi from the word Christos meaning Christ!

bleh, i have cold feet

you should put some socks on!

some electrical socks!

i own one sock and it is not electrical XD

you only own one sock? o.O

it never gets thrown away even though it has not had a mate for a very long time

do you just go barefoot all the time???

no. i wear shoes that do not need socks. it is warm all but 3 months of the year

what kind of shoes don't need socks?

sandals, slippers, maryjanes, flipflops, shoes without backs or tops or sides. basically half of all footwear that exists XD duh!

Socks are pure evil so good for you Chocobo

I like socks.

XD less evil and more make my feet sweaty, yuck Xp

My big brother thinks feet are more sweaty and stinky without socks but they arent.

they are not, there is no safe place for the bacteria to grow if your feet are covered with crud and/or constantly moving, and of course sweat dries much faster bare than covered. socks harbor a LOT of bacteria

Exactly, as i always say socks are pure evil *nods*
I do have to maintain my feet a bit more but that really isnt a big problem.

How long are you are wearing your socks?! lol

I stick to the one pair to one day, unless I'm in an odd situation, i.e. I'm traveling and forgot to pack enough sockies. >__> But those instances are few and very far between.

But, then again, maybe my feet are strange and don't sweat too much...cause I don't have crusty socks at the end of the day.

I dunno either, i just throw of the socks as soon as i can.
I have sensitive skin so all socks are itch machines.

more than a few mins is all you need XD yum, foot-ick stew

I love socks because I hate wearing slippers xD
My feet aren't particularly sensitive and are cold all the time too.

ah, then for you socks might be the deal XD
