Christmas Controversies And Various Solutions For Them

Should the tree be real or fake?

Yuppie Solution: Live tree, planted after use

Male Solution: Fake tree, discarded after use

Female Solution: Grow tree in house, adorned with fruits

Reality: Fake tree stays up until May, adorned with fur balls

Should tree lights twinkle or stay constant?

Yuppie Solution: Each bulb blinks to its own random rhythm

Male Solution: Bulbs flash logo of football team

Female Solution: Elegant flickering candles

Reality: Tree bursts into flames, burns house down

Should the tree be topped with an angel or a star?

Yuppie Solution: Gender-neutral angel; no submissive female stereotype

Male Solution: Blonde angel, kneeling, in a wet T-shirt

Female Solution: Authentic angel explains true meaning of Christmas

Reality: Hell's Angel steals the tree and the gifts

Do you fling or hang tinsel?

Yuppie Solution: Empower each strand w/self-determining skills

Male Solution: Six large clumps of tinsel on front of tree

Female Solution: Each icicle hangs like strand of spaghetti

Reality: More icicles on floor than on tree

Do you open gifts on Christmas Eve or Christmas Morning?

Yuppie Solution: Gifts opened on posted, individual schedules

Male Solution: Anytime, just so it doesn't interfere with football

Female Solution: Anytime the entire family is present

Reality: Doesn't matter, everyone's peeked anyway

For some reason it doesn't feel very festive this year. Not only here (Christmas skin?) but anywhere.

Half of every High Street is boarded up, few seem to have the festive spirit.

Anyhow, Merry Christmas

As one of the very old(er) members may I tend my complements of the season to Irene and the rest of you!

Why did just Irene get a personal mention?

probably something to do with the present opener

All reminiscent of my youth - probably misspent! :rolleyes:

Wishing everyone the Happiest Christmas and the Merriest New Year!

Hick! I'll drink to that.

A Merry Christmas and all the very best for 2012 Joysness!.

Thanks Gandalph,

I always get a little discombobulated this time of year. First it's the Christmas insanity (at least here in the U.S. everyone seems to lose it). Then the New Year with those who still think drinking and driving is perfectly ok so driving becomes hazardous to ones health. Then 12 days later I get to celebrate my birthday. I keep trying to skip them but they just seem to catch up anyway.

So I just look forward to when it's all over and things calm down some! :-)

Lovely to hear from you again, Joysness. Have a wonderful Christmas. :D

I am typing this on my netbook whilst sitting on the patio of our (rented) apartment in sunny Portugal Algarve having just had a splendid lunch and one or three gin and tonics plus half a bottle of rather nice wine.

It seems to have filled me with the X- hic-mas spirit - so may I wish you all a splendiferush Cwishmas and a Hic-appy New Year.

Good to hear from you Alan! Happy Christmas to you both. xsmile.gif

We are off up to Cheshire (Wilmslow) tomorrow, to spend Christmas Day and night with the family. :D

Seasons Greetings to all at WF

Been unable to post much for a couple of days because of an accident to my right hand while doing DIY - took me about 15 minutes yesterday to type half a dozen words, but it is better today.

Such a shame that because of this I couldn't do my usual annual last minute task of wrapping up all the myriad presents that my beloved loves to buy every year :D

Hopefully now that I can use my fingers again, I wil have enough manual dexterity to be able to do justice to today's forthcoming lunchtime feast.
