MATT DILLON IS A CHRISTMAS GRINCH
Movie star MATT DILLON is a Christmas GRINCH - he refuses to buy presents for any of his six siblings.
Instead the CRASH star makes a pact with his brothers and sisters so none of them buy gifts for each other.
He says, "I hate all that; I'm not a big Christmas shopper.
"I don't get caught up in all that stuff. I try not to. As far as Christmas goes, I have six siblings and we call a truce on each other: 'I won't get you anything if you don't get meanything.' That's fine!"

I wish it was that easy for me. But the last time I tried that with my friends, they decided to still buy presents, so I was the only one who didn't get any of my friends pesents.

My husband's that way too. So I get the privilege of buying for all his family on top of my own. Fun fun.

I agree with Matt on this one. Everything's just way too over the top these days.

I'm with Matt, especially if you all already have everything you need! On the other hand, you could make donations in your siblings' names to their favorite charities.
We're trying something different this year (as opposed to Secret Santa, drawing names): we're still getting the kids gifts, but will do a White Elephant instead, and I've got some fun kitsch stuff to give away!

I hope he at least takes them out to dinner or something. I know
Christmas is beaten and robbed of all meaning except shopping,
but if you really want to make a statement, you should encourage
them to investigate "Buy nothing day" every year.

Christmas© is nothing more than a stress filled, drunken relative, passive-aggressive game of one upmanship where nobody has a good time and everybody is emotionally drained from after.
Right now, its 2:30 am and my asshole roomates are having yet ANOTHER DRUNKEN FUCKING FIESTA. I even called the cops on them, and nothing. I want to die.

you need new roommates! this seems to be a common occurrence with these guys. i've been there; it's a frickin' nightmare to have roommates like that. sometimes it's just better to bite the bullet, break the lease, and cut your losses if possible. peace of mind is sometimes worth it! good luck.

Good God! It must be really bad when you call the cops on your own roommates! Remember, even though there is no death penalty for murder in Canada..YOU CANNOT KILL THEM!!(no matter how much you would like to)...*of course if you get someone else to kill them....*

He took my words right out of my mouth. And Matt ain't the Grinch, I am!
