Subject: RE: BS: Bah Humbug From: Morticia Date: 13 Dec 00 - 12:43 PM The Anti-Santa.....I love it,LOL.I guess he goes round pissing down peoples chimneys and rewarding the bad kids with their own nuclear weapons?What a concept! My kids would have done much better with him than the regular guy....not that's there anything wrong with the regular guy, oh dear me no, and I, after all, have been terrifically good all year so have nothing to worry about (sickly and sycophantic smile). |

Subject: RE: BS: Bah Humbug From: MMario Date: 13 Dec 00 - 12:43 PM I can sympathize - I am spending every weekend being one of those people who are shoving Christmas down your throat for commercial purposes. (But I try to do it with some humour, at least. and a smile) By the time Christmas gets here, I'm gonna be so scrooge-d I will have problems enjoying it!!! On the other hand - even one face going from grouchy to grinning is worth it some days! |

Subject: RE: BS: Bah Humbug From: GUEST,Fibula Mattock Date: 13 Dec 00 - 12:24 PM RtS - you are right, of course. The world HAS gone mad. Put weedkiller on the Christmas tree and laxatives in the mulled wine. Declare yourself the Antisanta. You'll feel much better for it. |

Subject: RE: BS: Bah Humbug From: Troll Date: 13 Dec 00 - 12:24 PM I'm retired so no prob at work and the Memsahib and Heir are Jewish so home is low-key. But the stores have been going Gaga since before Hallow'een. Happily, the Solstice and other such celebrations are pretty commercial free but I think the money changers need to be driven out of the Temple once again. troll |

Subject: RE: BS: Bah Humbug From: Ella who is Sooze Date: 13 Dec 00 - 12:17 PM yeah for roger... I totally agree... I don't feel at all christmassy at work... They have gone mad in the main office, and my office is totally void of anything with a slighty bit of sparkle on it... cept me.. actually....groan...someone just sent me a card, which is up on my puter... not that I am enthralled about that either... I have reasons this year, for not being bothered about christmas... and they all hurt! But apart from that, decorations look messy and drive me up the wall... ours are not even up at home... perhaps I need some help finding a christmas cheer this year... Ella |

Subject: RE: BS: Bah Humbug From: The Shambles Date: 13 Dec 00 - 12:13 PM Well you think you have it bad? Christmas IS my work. I spend every month of the year with these pesky elves keep coming up to me with their bright ideas. I try to sleep and forget the whole thing until Christmas Eve. It is about all I can do to get in to the spirit then. Two bottles of brandy will usually help. It also helps to keep the red nose.
They keep waking me up, to ask me if this or that, battery powered, plastic 'whatnot', will be the thing to catch on this year. They shove all these flashing, bleeping, glittering bits of rubbish in my face. It's enough to start me on the brandy in January.
That's bad enough but then they start on the year's Christmas novelty 'pop' song and try to drag me into the recording and to make guest appearances in all those videos ARRHHHGGG!!!……………………… So you think you've got it bad? |

Subject: Bah Humbug From: GUEST,Roger the Skiffler (aka Scrooge) Date: 13 Dec 00 - 11:29 AM Has the world gone mad? Last weekend, Herself bought a pair of Santa earrings to wear at her office "do". When she got home she found the flashing light on one didn't work so she's taking them back this Saturday as they'd "look silly". "As opposed to two flashing Santa earrings, one would look silly?" was my reaction. Now, today, my younger work colleagues have come out in a rash of santa hats, reindeer antlers, stars-on-sticks headdresses, assorted flashing Xmas badges and earrings, tinsel halos,tinsel boas etc. It isn't even end of term till Friday, let alone the holiday. When I had my own office (as opposed to my present Dilbert-type cubicle) I used to put up a sign showing a Xmas tree with a red line through it saying "This is a Xmas-free zone" to deter the paper chain and balloon fanatics. Am I just an old grouch? I celebrate Xmas at home, but at work? Dear Dr Mudcat, please advise RtS |
