Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

Idk, personally I haven't felt "the spirit of christmas" or anything that actually made it uniquely special. Anyone else feel the same?

I get it by proximity to my sister's family, but yeah, once the new generation enter the picture it's really nice to see innocent knuckleheads getting to enjoy the thing. Good on you for making the effort for the kids. Shit does bring back the nostalgia.

I bought obscure cakes that only my sister and I know the meaning of from when we were single digit aged. Shits special, even if only for the high water marks left by christmasses past. It's a good time to reflect and remember that stuff.

*all with the caveat that I recognise we were lucky to have some good formative experiences, I recognise that this is one of the toughest times for a huge number of people and I hope all our comrades on here who have to endure this time with gritted teeth make it through to the new year unscathed.
