Christmas? Bah humbug!

Christmas isn't really a Christian celebration. We can all be grumpy together, regardless of our race, religion, and nationality.

that is correct. Even in Indonesia one is allowed to say "Merry Christmas" now.
Indonesia gives OK to saying Merry Christmas
25 December 2012

The Indonesian government has reassured Muslims that it is okay to say "Merry Christmas" - despite the country's main Islamic group forbidding the term.

The chairman of the Indonesia Ulema Council, KH Mar'ruf, this week declared the greeting was forbidden under Islam.

But Indonesia's religious affairs minister, Suryadharma Ali, has contradicted this view, saying it is normal to convey Christmas greetings to Christians.

Mr Ali says this does not amount to participating in a forbidden religious ritual.

Merry Christmas to all the zoochatters across the world, hope you all have a fantastic day... Regardless of your religious (or non-religious) leanings! :)

Incorrect; it snowed in November, at least where I live.:p Still, nice to see the snow fall as I walked out of church.
Merry Christmas to Christians, and happy holidays to non-Christians out there!

No snow actually stuck since October. At least where I live.

I guess we can say what we got here. The only thing I'll say is that my Cincinnati Zoo trip is a definite now! You all may not care but I'm excited!:D

Happy Christmas wishes to all!

Nanoboy, I have no idea how you can possibly be so grumpy if you're annually greeted by your wife's food (and Christmas cakes!).

I just got back from spending my first ever Christmas in a hotel. A surprisingly pleasant experience, but I couldn't stand the animation team singing carols out of tune. Other than that, it was a fun Christmas.

Hope everyone else had a great Christmas, and best wishes to all for the New Year. :)
 
He's grumpy because he never gets busy during the Christmas season because his wife's too busy making sweets to give sweets;) (if you don't get that read the bottom half of page 21 and page 22 on The Nonsense Thread:D).

:D nice wordplay, and I am not being sarcastic. ;)

Devilish, why a hotel? You couldn't bring her back to your flat (apartment)? ;)
 
Since nanoboy posted some stuff about the sweets his wife made (and that's why he got no sweets;)) I thought I'd share what my sister and her friend made my family today. I have two names for it- David Brown's Dream Cookie and Heart Attack on a Tray. They were large Chocolate-Chip Cookies stuffed with Double-Stuffed Oreos. I can hear the sound of my stomach expanding as we speak:D

Here we go. In picture #1 we have the mostly devoured cookie revieling the oreo inner. In picture #2 we have some slightly damaged specimens next to some homemade birthdaycake cupcakes.

*Now imagine that all said in the voice of that Project Runway dude:)

Not related to Christmas food, but trust me, there are far worse foods out there, particularly in county fairs. Fried Ice Cream Burgers, Corn Dog Pizzas, Baby Ruth-stuffed jalapenos, Pork Parfaits, Mealworm-topped Caramel Apples... I bet for some Americans it will be the greatest thing they've ever tasted until their autopsy fifteen minutes later.

Let's not forget the all-American classic- fried macaroni balls!

Or one of Elvis' favourites: the Fool's Gold Loaf.
