I think one morning this weekend I will celebrate my first full paycheck, in nearly six months, with a fruity chardonnay and a small wheel of brie, the breakfast of kings.

Yes, you are correct.
That is indeed an elephant.
I stand corrected?

your mama so fat, she ate the chicken and the eggs

Last I heard, when you were born your mum wanted to throw you away and keep the afterbirth.

Ah yes a chicken and egg conundrum. If the chicken arrives first I wouldn't hold out much hope for the eggs.

One of my tasks for today was "get the Christmas decorations up" - the family tradition being that they go up a week before Christmas, and come down on Twelfth Night.
Tell me, have you ever had a cat launch itself at you through a Christmas tree while you are trying to hang baubles on it? No? It's a good test for your heart, I suspect...
And shiny silver baubles don't look quite as good with blood stains...or maybe they look better...I'm not sure.
Gawd. Three weeks of cat destroying Christmas tree. Three weeks of not being able to go to the loo in dark because of what sharp broken objects he has scattered since you went to bed... 
Can we all cancel Xmas and move on to summer already? Please?

This is a well known issue, our technicans already work with high pressure on this problem. Thank you for your submission.

I love it! The trees and tinsel and baubles and presents and booze and food are all just icing on the cake. This is the time of year when we remember the gift of love.
Anyway, my tree is up, decorated and the gifts wrapped and under it. Do you think maybe I went a bit OTT with it?

Not if you spent the money you saved on shiny plastic on Gin...

I do it the other way around. After the Gin has been sourced, tested and reordered because of the need to be absolutely sure, IF there's anything left in the kitty then we strangle the cat, buy more gin and one small piece of tat.

What a wonderfully decorated tree!

YOU ARE WAY OTT WITH IT. This sparkling and blinking everywhere, the loads of gifts, you really went mental on that.

How do you upload the photos?
Tell me and I won't take the piss out of you for being a wuss with the love comment.

Top right of the screen is your name, drop down has "My uploads" at the bottom. Click and load.
IIRC it is only available to reputations of a certain level; probably goldies.

Yeah, haven't got it. Thanks anyway.

Nagy, I'm not sure if artificial is OTT or underwhelming. It's a real 'un for me, in fact many years we have two, one in the living room and one in the dining room (2 years ago we got a decent balsam fir for a $1 at Walmart!)
The family outing to cut the (living room) tree is this Saturday, where the tradition is for me to have a very adult argument with my 3 and 5 year old grandkids: "No mine is the bestest". We started the grand tradition last night after I played guitar at a Christmas concert.
I can't share OG's (Old Grinch?) sentiments, but then I don't have a cat! (our young Lab pup might be a reasonable stand-in this year though).
Have a good, gin-soaked holiday. Incidentally, we "bard" our turkey with .... BACON!

TBH we have 2.5m Norwegian [lovely plumage] waiting outside. We put the tree up on 24th and then fight like right buggery until the end of January before taking it's dried out corpse to the dump.

I have to fight with my wife to keep the tree until 12th night!
Don't you stand the tree in a water with a reservoir? We do and we use some sort of "tree keeper" (which is probably just scented sugar, ethylene glycol and sorbic acid). We don't get much needle drop at all, even on a spruce.

We have a reservoir, just use water and the tree normally does okay.
|
|

Then that's clearly good enough.
Things tend to be on the dry side over here (I've had a tree take up a few litres in a day). I know ethylene glycol improves transport (it's used in fungicide on grape vines, or at least used to be until some dope watered wine down with it some years back), and sugar always helps keep cut plants/flowers fresh.
