    Interesting that at least 25 of us posted things on Christmas Day. What does this tell us about PriusChat?

    it's very popular
    some do not regard Christmas as a special holiday
    some of us think holidays are boring and we can find nothing to do
    PriusChat is addictive to some

    Others...?

    Home sick. That is, sick at home while everyone else went out.

    Live alone, have no friends, nothing to do on a day when everything's closed, have no life when not travelling. And I always spend some time on Prius Chat when I'm at the computer.

    well i had to WORK yesterday... 10 hour shift. then left immediately afterwards to go to my sister's house to arrive at a celebration several hours late. (they did wait until we got there to serve dinner...i was touched) so that is the only reason why i didnt post here. other than that, i do not see what the issue is here.

    on a holiday, one should be allowed to do what pleases them without guilt. being here pleases me

    I am very sorry for this. You know, we disagree a lot, but in my definition of "friends", ummm (ahem)...you are one....so don't say you have no friends.

    My wife is visiting friends and family in Europe. I thought this was a good place to come to argue about the virtues (or lack there of!) of VSC! :)

    Sometimes I use PriusChat to kill a few minutes. For example, yesterday I was waiting for my wife to get ready for the Christmas dinner we were going to. I used the five minutes to hop on, see what was going on, make a post, and then get out.

    I do view PriusChat as sort of a job. I like to check in every once and a while.

    Some of us are not of the Christian faith.

    This is true, but we still have that 24 hours to deal with.

    i have never nor will i be likely to be convinced that christmas is a religious holiday in any way what so ever.

    just as i dont feel patriotic on the 4th, i dont really care why christmas was started simply because it has nothing to do with why i celebrate it.

    The OP appears to be concerned that "at least 25 of us posted things on Christmas Day," inferring that we violated the sanctity of the holiday.

    Some of us who do not celebrate Christmas had more time to post on PriusChat.

    I am not Christian and my holiday weekend had a dark cloud hanging over it because of the loss of my car. I had so many plans this weekend, and next! All ruined.

    No little kids in my house meant I could check in before xmas brunch and assorted get togethers later in the day. Must say I was glad there seemed to be no contentious posts whenever I checked in. Peace.

    Well, dinner at my sister's wasn't until 5 pm. I spent the morning and early afternoon baking pies and surfing the net while I was waiting.

    When I got home I immediately logged on to buy guitar strings for my nephew's classical (well, his Dad's actually) as the boys got some sort of computer game that teaches you how to play guitar and they were all hot to learn. So I bought strings, checked the mail and then checked Priuschat. I always check here as part of my log on routine.

    Besides, I'm on vacation and this is part of my entertainment.
