Oh man.........I have made a much similar mistake! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I was TOLD, in no uncertain terms..."Don't EVER buy me anything with a power cord again!!!!"

That is strange, because I really like to receive things with electrical cords attached.

I don't know, some of my best gifts have had electrical cord. Honestly, I'd prefer my Miele vacuum over diamonds or some nonsense.

I'm sorry but Nanaimo Bars are not considered a Christmas treat...I will be right over to confiscate them so you can make some real Christmassy stuff!

If you have any Chocolate covered cherries I will take those too.

Here you go ...
Dance as if no one's watching, sing as if no one's listening, and live everyday as if it were your last.

Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.

Titania McGrath: I’m dreaming of a woke Christmas

Make this the most wonderfully inclusive time of year: swap pantos for lectures on social justice, says an activist and intersectionalist poet

It’s the most problematic time of the year. Christmas manages to combine two of the most pernicious ideologies ever conceived: patriarchal Christianity and free-market capitalism. It is perhaps best epitomised by the advent calendar, a convention intended to encourage self-indulgence and at the same time remind us that the Virgin Mary craved chocolate for the last month of her pregnancy.

It’s time for a new socially conscious form of Christmas, one that is more inclusive and intersectional. Here are my suggestions.
"No one has the right to apologize for something they did not do, and no one has the right to accept an apology if the wrong was not done to them."

Merry Christmas Castanutters!

So here it is almost upon us and are we all ready for the fat man in red to arrive?

I'm more of a Bah Humbug kind of guy but I don't mind getting new stuff to play with. It gets tougher every year because we don't really need anything so will just have to wait one more day to see what's under the tree.

I'm looking forward to see what our new rescue dog Sunny does with her presents. Our last 2 dogs both would have fun opening theirs.

Merry Christmas to you and yours! And I mean that in the most conservative sense possible... https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/cultu ... ode-fk-you

I really miss Christmas cards, I used to have one wall covered in beautiful, Christmas cards from all over the world.
Nowadays everyone sends text messages, emails.
Very few of us "old school" actually take the time to put pen to card, write a heartfelt greeting, slap a stamp on it and snail mail in hopes it arrives in time.
Merry Christmas to all!

We still send cards to relatives out of country but it is bloody expensive to mail. Even local is getting out of hand.
