The best bits for humbugs; a christmas thread

@beano That tree would never stand a chance.
Blue Christmas lights are an abomination. Flashing blue lights should be punishable by death. Santa would def. agree with me.
Started decorating the house today. The tree is up! The poinsettias are out! Presents are under the tree! The snow globes and candles are scattered across every spare surface!
Minor snag in the plans - our tree is 7ft. So about 2ft bigger than any tree we've had previously and we don't quite have enough lights or decorations to fill it out with. It looks a tad bare but that just means more shopping for Christmas decorations this week
-
But ... I like my blue fairy light. They aren't on a tree though.
I bought a Christmas cactus for my desk at work. I put thin gold tinsel on it. Maybe I'll stick a pic up if can be bothered. -
Fairy lights are acceptable. Just not for Christmas.
Is the cactus one of those with googly eyes and a cotton wool beard? -
Unfortunately not; it's a proper plant. I could buy googly eyes and a beard for it once Xmas is over.
-
Do it before Christmas is over! Like this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/90978325@N04/8269550565/

Haha they look brilliant! Wouldn't work with my cactus:

Edit: Or would it? -
I can recommend Lidl's panettone. Had it this morning with coffee. Definitely one of the better ones I've tried. Would be pretty good in a bread and butter pudding I reckon.

Alas, Charlie has decided that tinsel makes a good noose. In a bid to stop death by tinsel it has been banned until boy develops less suicidal tendencies.
Tree looks naked without it;
-
You have one of the Paperchase stags! Fabulous darling.
Our tree has no tinsel either, but we have beads on. Probably would have the same noose like qualities though, so maybe not a good substitute. -
Aldi's Chocolate & Salted Caramel Christmas Puddings are award winning and cost £1.29 each. We had them last year and they're immense!
Better than Harrods puddings according to some reviews. -
Went to winter wonderland in Hyde Park today, it was surprisingly not shit. Bloody expensive though.
-
Not as shit as Milton Keynes' effort though, I think. That Santa pic makes me lol.

Phoenix Nights missed a trick by never having a special. 15 Storeys, an' all. "Have Yourself an Errol Little Christmas"
Ask Santa for new wallpaper, Space? That's proper Box of Delights, is that. -
Anyone still bother with the Christmas Radio Times? I do purely for nostalgic purposes.
Holding the wrong end of the stick since 2009. -
I don't, but as a kid I used to greatly enjoy circling things to watch over the fortnight (and not circling the films listed as containing 'sex scenes' and 'nudity', but secretly earmarking them for post-watershed viewing).

Yep, and I don't even have a telly. I just buy it out of habit.

I don't like the bad luck, that's consistent with this time of year.
I like distracting people with my general beanness from their woes.

SG lives in Downton Abby. -
Everyone in Glasgow lives like this, where the average flat price is 575 British pounds. Fuck London.

Went there myself yesterday, and ir was good. But it was pissing down all evening which put a dampener on things.I'm falling apart to songs about hips and hearts... -
I just showed my 5 year old this video.
He's now shit scared of Christmas, thanks krs. This is going to take some major explaining. -
I like how you don't need an excuse for the shit food you're eating.
Still not had a mince pie tho."Better than a tech demo. But mostly a tech demo for now. Exactly what we expected, crashes less and less. No multiplayer."

It's only fucking snowing!
Not laying though as the wind is making it come in sideways. -
Merry Christmas, y'all. -
Merry Christmas Eve.
Ham is cooking.
