Just like I told you a couple of blog entries back, I pretty much always start feeling blue during the Christmas vacation. I’ve been told it’s kind of a common problem really. Drinking and partying out is my usual way of solving that issue but it’s not probably the best one there is – Sure, doing that takes the edge off for a little while but when the night and the hangover the next day is gone the stuff you tried to escape is right there again.
So, today’s Friday game is….
"How to survive the holidays"
a 10 step guide for an urban young adult.
Your task is to write the guide. It doesn’t have to be anything massive and honestly I’m not expecting too many people to participate today. You’ve got until midnight (GMT) today and the winner gets enough brouzoufs for a free t-shirt from our selection (shipping included).
Have fun with it!
Write it simply like this:

1) enjoy each moment
2) wish everybody an happy news year, even at your worst shopkeeper
3) think about all the nice t-shirt you will wear this new year
4) buy your favorite cake, and just taste it !
5) don’t think about work
6) don’t care !
7) give some money to the poor guy who’s sit on the street…. even if it’s not a lot
8) try to save the world (?)
9) be happy !
10) just continue this way as long as possible… until the next year !
1) avoid family dinners
2) try to be unseen for your neighbors
3) do not answer to Happy Christmas e-mails
4) turn off your cell phone
5) turn it on just for emergency calls, of course
6) assume that your ex-boy/girlfriend won’t wish you a Merry Christmas, for sure
7) don’t have a look at friend’s fotologs
8) buy a lot of things for yourself, they will probably match you the best
9) don’t party with Jouni :-P
10) don’t take a picture with a guy dressed like Santa Claus…
Happy New Year!!
My advices are as follow :
1) Prepare your stomach a few days in advance by partying with your friends and eating heavy food (it’s too late for this year but try it next year ;) ) So this way the eating disorders are gone quickly during Christmas vacation
2) Bring your best dvd’s and your laptop to the place you will spend those Christmas vacations, I would advice some stupid american movies in the american pie style, the type of movie you can watch by unplugging your brain before pushing the play button
3) Don’t think about going to a sunny island where it’s 30°C while in your place it’s only -25°C, Christmas as to be celebrated in the cold otherwise it’s not the same feeling
4) As a urban young adult you have to sometimes go to the countryside in order to forget the stress of living in the city, so a small walk in the countryside gives fresh air to your brain
5) Don’t watch the news on tv because it’s too depressing to see all those terrorists attacks on one side and all those people happy to celebrate christmas on the other side
6) Try to cook new recipes (like for examples the noodles recipe I gave you a few weeks ago) and invite some friends for a casual dinner
7) Buy guitar hero III, some alcohol and some drugs, and pretend you are a rock star
8) Write some ecards wishing your friends a happy new year, because after all it’s better if your friends are happy…
9) Just remember you’re healthy, and health is by far the most important
10) Tell yourself that next year will be another year full of surprises
Happy new year to you and all lafraise members ;)

….hmmmmmm…….Is there anybody in there?
Yup. Now there is. Sorry about this - lately I’ve spent my days struggling with flu (I have high fever even now) and that’s the reason for neglecting the blog. Hopefully I’m well again ASAP.
Many of you had good advices.
Cooldude14es’ list pretty much matches the way I behave usually. :D
Still Nounours67’s list is the one I found most appealing. So, we have a winner - congratulations!
Brouzouf-transfers have been a bit kinky lately since unfortunately we’ve had some slight changes in our crew. I’ll try to have them sorted out ASAP though.
Now I’m of to make the new friday game. ;)
