Us, dirty minds? Never, JC. Well, don't know about Tips, but mine's pure as the proverbial driven.

I hope it's just the former. I've had to guard against a general sort of disaffectedness lately. Some leave will do the trick, hopefully.

Well, it might well be a branch from a real live tree.

Pure as, eh? Says she who gets frisky on weekday mornings

It depends on who is holding the celery

Tips, this season of jollity isn't always so - I think because we're expected to buy into the hype, and it rarely matches reality. I love the family get-togethers, but they stress me out at the same time.

I think we're still talking about celery, Satz :H, but then :new:

I agree Dreamy- it's total bullshit really.
The marketeers go into overdrive - whip people in to frenzy.
Parents are shopping for Christmas from September - it's shocking how we all get caught up in it.
I was in Australia last year for Christmas and you' d hardly know it was happening. Saw one tree only.
This country is completely nuts.
Dublin is awash with people 'doing the 12 pubs of Christmas' - basically falling from pub to pub 'till they are drunk.......and having great 'craic'. :gramps:

Good grief. Never heard of that one.

Just glad my kids are all growed up now and tbh they never asked for much...........not that they were little angels, I'll add. 2 sets of fully functioning grandparents saw to most of it.

Crazy here as well, Satz - I dread going to the shops this time of year; it's empty, really, nothing behind it but buy buy buy

Bit of time off, a few days with your feet up and some celery gazing will do you a world of good.

We've always had an artificial tree....having dogs, small children, the school rabbit and hamsters charging around in them little balls aren't conducive to pine needles.

Celery now the new naval in terms of gazing? Well, I never.
