What do you want for Christmas?

hard brexmas and a cadillac eldorado

Gonna end up with the Steak Knives, probably.

Another poll guaranteed to be swamped by socks votes

write-in vote for aftershave instead

I just asked for books. Don't think my siblings have much control over Brexit.

voting steak knives as a proxy for ‘total nuclear annihilation’

predict a tie meself tho

My preferred xmas presents have been books for almost my entire life.

This year in a shock change, I fancy some Carolina Reaper Honey Hot Sauce that I tasted at a friends house the other week and was just incredible. Easily pleased ha.

predict a tie meself tho

I see what you did there.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

you'll get neither and like it

Christmas has been moved to March

Ethiopians always had it in October didn't they?
Wonder where it was before the Northern European Xians adapted tehir midwinter feats to be it. Was it the same daye elsewhere?

a new camera would be great.
Remastered reissue of Clock DVA's Thirst.
Ability to conjure up an extra week between now and then and whatever otyher extra time I need before deadlines at will.

Trump & May's heads on sticks. An end to Conservative parties and the right. Though someti8mes does help to have a nasty venal 'them' to be an 'us' against? Reducing them to a nominal entity would be so much handier though.

Ethiopians celebrate Christmas in January bc of Julian calendar, I don't know if anyone celebrates Christmas in October

Do they know it's Christmas?

Well if people keep reminding them they're bound to. Especially if a bunch of rockstars put together a naff hit single.
A friend said tehre was still a lotof produce coming out of Ethiopia at the time of the famine and she saw produce of Ethiopia on fruit & veg at the time.

Somebody on a course i was on who was from Ethiopia was saying something about a tradition of Christ being born on I think the 8th of October.

Just looked up where the 25th of December came from and apparently in th e3rd century Hyppolytus of Rome extrapolated it from Jesus being conceived on the spring equinox.
Otherwise it seems to have been an adaptation of an existing feast. Saturnalia i Rome or whatever Northern European midwinter celebration.

Bob Gedolf doesn't give a flying fuck about Ethiopians any more, he just wants a People's Vote for christmas this year! I'm getting a puppy myself.

Indeed, happily no-one gives a flying fuck about Bob Geldof any more too, so all is well and deep and crisp and even.

I think as with many famines there was a political element, with the main opposition to the communist DERG and the famine both being concentrated in the north in Tigray

the $350 i'm going to pay every month for Obamacare

I'm getting a puppy myself.

pics or gtfo, obv

8 week old black lab arriving on Friday, I'm quite emotional tbh!

the pets4us ad is still up, I think the one I've put a deposit on is the middle one - although it's fair to say they are all pretty mint!

*shriek*

I wonder if I will ever stop responding to adorable puppers like the kind of aunt that kinda scares her nieces and nephews with her overzealousness. I sure hope not.

they are the last 3 of a litter of 11. Dammit, it's a brutal game for sure!

Ah man, Calz, this is glorious.
