Specially if they are for ME!

Unless it's a large wooden horse left outside the gates of your walled city ... in which case I would recommend caution ... and possibly vats of hot oil being poured over the side of the walled city.

Christmas makes me very uncomfortable. I have three kids who are starry-eyed about it, as kids are. And who wants to mess with that? Not me ( ... )

I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciated this message. I'm always bewildered by the fact that friends and family always sound offended when they ask what I'm going to do for Christmas and I say, "Hide."

This year I'm determined not to get dragged out in the heat - I always have to do the travelling - and have to go places I don't want to much. At least all my rellies will be out of the state this year (g!) so I'm going to hide out with a bottle of Baileys, some really good cheese and fruit, some chocolate and a whole bunch of books.

And Xmas stealing the summer solstice. Definitely the wrong date and the only thing about which I agree with the JWs. Come on, nobody's going to have sheep out in a field in midwinter at that time and place; they'd have been in a byre somewhere.

Humbug.

The Grinch rules.

Grumpy pants - though easy to say for me since I am only ever an observer. I do feel sorry for your son though.

Tim Tam Slam?

Huh?

You are in some serious need of some Tim Tam education, my friend.

Bah Humbug!
