Are you serious about the orange???

Absolutely, the boss put a bag of oranges on the break
room table, said "help yourself".

Grrrrrrrrr.

At least I'VE still got the Christmas spirit!
Bought my mum some firewood today and got the rest
of the family a few things so while not a sterling
occasion it won't be too bad.
And as I remember my late father telling me of his boyhood
in rural Virginia when they were delirously happy to get
an orange and a handful of walnuts for Christmas,
I carefully try to follow in his footsteps large as they
are.

May the blessings of God be upon us all in perhaps this
last Christmas somewhat at Peace.

Ah I will have to rent it.

[pcottraux]

Here are some:

Christmas Story
Any of the versions of A Christmas Carol (there are about a thousand)
The Polar Express
Christmas Vacation
It's a Wonderful Life

[tuliptree76]

That's good.

I have to go offline for a bit. I'll be back later.

[pcottraux]

"THE POLAR EXPRESS"!!!

That's one of my favorite Christmas movies as well. I forgot about it for a minute.

[scott7278]

Oh yes, that was quite good. The animation was amazing!

[Paul_Denton]

Thanks :) I will rent those.

[Paul_Denton]

See you later :)

[scott7278]

See you later, I hope!

Joyous Christmas-Eve-Eve greetings, everyone!

I know it's almost a cliche now, but my absolute favorite Christmas movie is "It's a Wonderful Life."

Favorite Christmas carols are:

"God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" "O Come, O Come Emmanuel" "Joy to the World"

I'm getting older, so the Christmas memories (memory in general) are a little faded. I'm helpless with cooking and crafts, so no recipes or projects to name. Sorry (sheepishly crawls into corner).

[pcottraux]

See you then.

No need to apologize or crawl into the corner, or I'll have to, also! :)

Just remember,tired is a state of mind.

12 Reasons to Ban Santa (If You're Liberal)

[carlr]

Excellent.

[scott7278]

I'll try to remember that.

[RosieCotton]

Man...that's a lot of questions! Ooh, the pressure...maybe I'll just tackle some of them.

Let's see...three favorite Christmas songs...probably "Silent Night" (like the lyrics, like singing harmony), "What Child is This" (ditto), and ummm...I'm not sure of the title, but the kinda minor key one that starts off "Lullay Lully". Since I'm posting before reading, someone else has probably named it further down the thread...

Favorite Christmas recipe - there are too many! We usually made at least half a dozen kinds of cookies: spritz (cookie press cookies), gingerbread, sugar cookies, springerle, jam thumbprints, sometimes macaroons, though that might have been because they're Dad's favorite and his birthday is the 21st.

And crafts...well, I remember fondly all the glittery messes we made. Glitter and glue would end up stuck in the oddest places, sometimes to be found months later. Ah, the memories...

For Christmas movies, there's "The Christmas Story," which I like, but didn't grow up with...so it's not really a tradition. "Holiday Inn" and "It's a Wonderful Life" are probably the ones we watched the most - I can turn the sound down on those too and say all the lines. That'll get me far in life, you betcha. Also like "Christmas Vacation", but that's another I didn't watch until I was out of the house.

[RosieCotton]

I also like "Baby, It's Cold Outside"

Heh...naughty. Though it's naughty in a very innocent sort of way...I like it. Which version is your favorite?

[scott7278]

Absolutely, the boss put a bag of oranges on the break room table, said "help yourself".

Did you have the following response?

tet68: "Hey! If any of you are looking for any last-minute gift ideas for me, I have one. I'd like my boss, right here tonight. I want him brought from his happy holiday slumber over there on Melody Lane with all the other rich people and I want him brought right here, with a big ribbon on his head, and I want to look him straight in the eye and I want to tell him..."

LOL.

[RosieCotton]

Pretty...

Merry Christmas to you, too!
