Aww, that is nice! I sort of did the same thing, I gave all my garbage collectors each a bottle of champagne....they seemed happy.
yay!
In Aus, it's a tradition to leave alcohol out on the last garbage night before christmas. The accepted rate is one six-pack of stubbies... Some garbage men are lucky enough to collect enough beer for the next six months.
It'd be a decent job at least once a year, I suppose...
I did watch a good movie, Hancock, I liked it! Well, I sort of love Will Smith................
One daughter got Hancock... it's pretty good. Although, I have seen it a few times now...
I don't really mind.. Whats that line from the Allister Simms Scrooge..
"It was said that he kept Christmas well"... Now days if you have a patch, income and reasonable heath.. you're doing well.... Especially after living through a big bike accident.. being hit head on I could have become a statistic at 21.... so the extra 33 years are all icing...
What a beautiful outlook. But we'd have you too, Twisty. Just let us know if you'd like to give your poor old bones a rest from the ice and snow next year. We'll show you how to have an Aussie xmas.
Heya Sunny, still baking here.
. My in-laws are taking my daughter away for 8 days on a Disney cruise, lol. now that's a great gift all around.
Wow... what would I have done for a present like that when I was a kid. I hope she has a ball...
GINGERS ARE HOT!!!
Hey you xmas followers, get ur trees back up! It's the 12 days of Christmas for CHRIST'S sake!!
out.
Most Aussies stress out until christmas day, then get drunk and/or stoned.
On boxing day, we get drunk and/or stoned... and that's usually the end of the christmas season. The remaining time until New Year's is Cruisemas... this is when only half of the shops and businesses are open, and those that are really don't expect to get too much work done. Everything is generally just a little 'cruisier'. ...Unless you work in a supermarket or similar retail store... the after christmas sales must drive those poor bastards mad. After New Years, everything returns pretty much to normal.
There's definitely not going to be any 12 days of christmas in this household... I don't think I could handle the stress
