As there is a lack of news for us to get our tounges talking I thought I'd start my usual Happy, can hear LEE already grinding her teeth, thread about Christmas :laugh:

[rachb]

Sorry everyone but I've already got quite a few christmas presents already:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
I'm just counting the days until I can get mt tree up:hugesmile:

[BusyBee]

Trouble is I buy presents for Christmas - hide them carefully away, and then cant find them when Christmas comes around. Somewhere in our house is a collection of wonderful carefully thought out presents that never saw the light of day.

BTW I've already started making my hand made Christmas cards!!!!

:laugh: Perhaps we should all come around and help you find them :laugh: Sounds like you should open up to kids BusyBee they always manage to find presents :laugh:

[BusyBee]

All welcome to a search for the pressies party, but I'll warn you when I hide something I hide it well - they disappear from the face of the earth.

[Amy]

Perhaps the elves come in and take them to Santa!????? :laugh: :laugh:

ooh just had another thought Amy:shocked:Perhaps BusyBee is one of the elves:laugh::laugh:
or Mrs Claus:laugh:
come to think of it when I posted her vcd's the address was somewhere in Lapland:shocked::laugh::laugh:
who needs ex-housemates posting here when we've got Mrs Claus:rolleyes::laugh::laugh:

[Amy]

:shocked: Perhaps you're right Rach! :shocked: Mrs BusyBee Claus :laugh:

[BusyBee]

Now look here a person could get very upset about you lot - I may buzz around a lot doing nothing, but I do not have big ears so am definitely not an elf. Though in my time I have been a tooth fairy!!!

But eventually you did suss out my real identity - Mrs Claus. So as such make sure you all behave or I will have a word with the great one and no pressies (hidden or otherwise) will be on their way to you this year. Though to be honest I dont have much say on the present scene, my job is the preparation of home made Christmas cards and you lot are definitely off my list for calling me an elf.

As for you Rachb - were you thinking of a certain young man when you said I had big ears?

[rachb]

Lol BusyBee I was thinking that maybe as Mrs.Claus you would get to go with santa this year:thumbs:I know which chimney you'll be going down first:laugh::laugh:

[BusyBee]

I shall be making one of my famous lists shortly so that Mr Claus knows just who gets what. So if you want anything special just let me know. (I am always open to bribery if you want something specific)

[BusyBee]

Well look Amy you know if it was down to me - Dermot would be waiting for you under the Christmas tree, but unfortunately there are these damn Health and Safety regulations that me and Mr Claus have to abide by. Something about it being dangerous to wrap gorgeous young men up in fancy Christmas paper, put them in a sack and transport them through the night sky on a sleigh, not to mention then dropping them down a chimney into the waiting arms of ...........

But then again if he was injured you could always nurse him better - you know what they say about nurses and their patients :blush::blush::blush::love::love::love::love:

[BusyBee]

PS just had a thought - if I do manage to pull a few strings and by=pass the Regulations and get you Dermot - what's in it for me:conf::conf::conf::conf:

Perhaps an invitation card of some sort? :hugesmile::hugesmile::hugesmile: Better make that three invitations = if you know what I mean :thumbs::thumbs:

I would really like one of those invitations aswell BusyBee knowing my luck that glittery envelope you spotted Santa with will be another gift voucher again though:rolleyes:

When is Hanukkah this year ?

Back in 2000 Hanukkah was on at the same time as that Pagan festival. So I went to Gateshead and the Jewish quarter and bought some Hanukkah cards and sent them out.

I studied all about it, including the fact it is actually mentioned in the New Testament in passing.

According to the Apocrypha, when the Maccabees over threw their oppressors and went to cleanse the temple, they only found enough oil to light the sacred lamp for one day, yet it would take 8 days to get more. By a Miracle the sacred lamp shone for 8 days on one day's worth of Oil

I found it more attractive as a festival, with the concepts of spiritual cleansing and renewal, than what that other festival has become.

Unfortunately I do not have a Menorah to remember each day of the festival.

[BusyBee]

I hope you are being a very good girl now Amy cos you know Santa is watching you :hugesmile::hugesmile::hugesmile:

Seen on another forum



Due to the passing into law of the Employment Equality (Religion or Belief) Regulations 2003 on 2/12/2003, All Xmas decorations and cards are hereby banned from the workplace.

As it is now seen that putting up a nude femail poster / calendar violates most work place equal opportunities regulations, it is now also deemed that putting up any material pertaining to any religion or any religious festival, can be seen as offensive and harrassment of those of other religions and none. The afore mentioned poster/ calendar and Xmas cards and decorations for legal purposes are teated in the same light.

This policy has been enforced in parts of the country now, and a good example to us all is Buckinghamshire County Council who banned a church from advertising their festive religious services at High Wycombe Library.

Well done and keep up the good work.



Looks like there will be no decorations as this is now ilegal. :shocked:

[BusyBee]

Humbug Sticks - I'm going to send you and Kaz off to a destination very very far away where all the other anti-Christmas (and yes I refuse to use the C word BUT will put it in full) planners can join and celebrate together.


As for being illegal - who cares - I for one shall carry on anyway - and if I am charged (or any of my cohorts) I will arrange for a top notch barrister to represent us. At this time of the year when it is dull and miserable WE NEED something to look forwrad to. Still perhaps if we were found guilty we could have a community rehabilitation order involving making Boris's festive LOL:hugesmile::hugesmile:

Sorry, but back in the 1980's my Christmas Spirit died of a short and sudden illness and I without it was exposed to the cold hard reality of the season.

I have been antipathetic to Christmas ever since.
