It was tough sometimes as a kid because a lot of my friends would be busy/out-of-town for the holidays, but I've always liked having a birthday around Christmas. Lots of presents, and, as a teen, it provided opportunity to get creative with joint birthday and Christmas presents. Now, as an adult, I find that there's a lot of celebrating at that time of year, and I've learned to use it as an excuse to get the holidays started early. I usually take time off from my birthday to just after new years, for instance.

as a kid it sucked, lots of "Here, this is for your birthday and christmas" and my young mind was just pissed it was the same as my brother got for christmas, despite him getting another present back in july...

I loved it, but my birthday is early December. I got presents twice in one month. And it was always separate from Christmas.
You really need to make sure that you celebrate his birthday and Christmas separately. No combined presents.

The Honda Center has had to implement new draconian security protocols in anticipation of the Kings visiting tonight. It's basically going to be like entering a prison, which is apt because the Pond will be full of felons once again.

Looks like the Canucks are sending their B team to Calgary to play the Flames. No Sedins, Vrbata, Horvat, Hamhuis, Tanev, Edler, Miller, etc.
Meanwhile the Flames are pretty much dressing everyone.

Are you referring to metal detectors at each entrance?
League's made it standard for every arena in the NHL.
Sorry for ruining the joke

Tonight I'm going to my first frat party in like 3 years.
All I want to do is stay home and watch hockey
EDIT: Dastardly what do you call those douchebags in Australia that nobody likes? The ones like American rednecks? There's a funny term for them. I want to ask the Aussie girl in my class what she thinks about them next time I see her.

When I was in New York at MSG, I couldn't get into the atrium without waiting for a bomb sniffing dog.
Then again almost everywhere I went, I had to have my bags looked at and/or walk through metal detectors.

They are ours too... Last Season at least.
If the worst team in the league is your Kryptonite, maybe it's not considered Kryptonite but being bad
