Arguments for Christmas

[JackOutback]

A handy list of arguments to have this Christmas, starting with the classic:

Is Die Hard a Christmas movie? But also;
Is Love Actually actually good or actually bad?
Real tree vs fake tree.
Is fruit cake delicious or disgusting?
When should the decorations go up?
Merry Christmas or happy holidays?
Elf on the Shelf: delightful or creepy?

Go to it.

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

Happy holidays?

This isn't America you yankee *

 

[PeanutButter Pies]

Fake tree. One year we got a real one just for a change and bugs went everywhere.

Anyone who enjoys mince pies is evil

If anyone said happy holidays around me they would die
Do you really have to ask this?

 

[Perth gal]

No 4 fruit cake is yummy

 

[Sparkle]

Is Die Hard a Christmas movie?
No - National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, Home Alone, The Santa Claus, they are true Christmas movies. Die Hard is not

Is Love Actually actually good or actually bad?
Actually Bad - confusing plot, slow, boring

Real tree vs fake tree.
Fake - the smell of a real tree is nice, but buying a new one every year is expensive, they make a huge mess and bugs go everywhere

Is fruit cake delicious or disgusting?
In between - depends on whether it is full of fruit or skimpy on fruit, whether it's been burned or cooked just right, size of the portion

When should the decorations go up?
Either last week of November or the first week of December - sometime around December 1st

Merry Christmas or happy holidays?
Merry Christmas

Elf on the Shelf: delightful or creepy?
Creepy - so glad they became a thing after I got older. I would have had nightmares having that thing stare at me

 

[Procrastinator35]

More a pudding kinda guy myself.

Also, there ought to be a bit of tinsel around the tree & a bauble or 2, for some layered texture & atmosphere.

As for arguments?.....Same old family ghosts & demons as ever.

Finally, Bad Santa is the go to moofy for Chrissy.

 

[Xtreme]

Never. Not one minute

What is all this bullshit about bugs going everywhere with a real tree. We had a real tree EVERY year when I was a kid and I don't remember seeing any bugs

I too had real christmas trees (for about a 5 year period until mum got sick of it) and no bugs.

Ham or Turkey

How is that even a question?! Turkey by the length of the Nullarbor!

Thats nothing.. at my aunties one year she did stuffed chickens. I almost had a fit right there in front of the whole family.

* chicken.

 

[raskolnikov]

I always say Happy Christmas because growing up my mum didn't like merry because of the association with alcohol.

**** chicken.

Back in the day (way back..) I think a lot of people may have only had roast chicken because it wasn't cheap like it is now.

Mum has gone to my brother's place not once but twice and all they have had is seafood is and ham, neither which she eats at all, had to just eat crap like party pies that kids have lol. They reckon they forgot the second time but I thought it was pretty ordinary.

A normal greek xmas we would have turkey, prawns, pastisio, dolmades, stuffed tomatoes, maybe saganaki, xmas pudding/fruit desserts. Maybe lamb on a spit, but not every time.

Star or angel (on top of the tree)
Star - looks heaps better

Ham or Turkey
Don't really eat either (I prefer chicken, lamb and pork), but if I had to pick I'd say Turkey

Away in a manger or silent night
Silent Night - mostly because of this scene from The Simpsons



Vouchers or cash
Vouchers - cash is always nice but I like heading somewhere specific to buy something

Xmas Vacation or Xmas Vacation
My goal in life is to become the Australian Clark Griswold
