    I had my honeymoon over Xmas and New Year. I can highly recommend it to anyone who works with their family and is sick of their ugly faces by the time holidays roll around. :)
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Christmas should be banned, as Brussells sprouts are evil and mandatory at Christmas dinner. This is according to a friend. I think his mum might not have started boiling them early enough.

    A song about a man concerned for a young lady's welfare when she's planning on walking home in a blizzard because of what busy bodies will assume about her is banned because busy bodies are assuming things about the man's motives.


    I  thought the same, can I be innocent too please?
     
    Also the possibility that the lady in the song simply did not want to stay because he had let one go so her virtue saved.  Christmas farts, all that eggnog and rich food, nothing quite like them.

    You can make a sprout edible, but try doing that to a parsnip!
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    Heathens, no Viking blood in you, sprouts are the food of the gods and we even ate the leaves in winter from our own garden of course not stored for weeks in a warehouse. Picked off the stalk and washed by me, Mother ready with a pan of boiling water, the home cured bacon cubed and gently fried, spouts out of pan drained sliced in half and bacon spread over with lashings of butter salt and pepper, manner from heaven.

    A Busy day blood pressure checks all OK then gave them some blood, I am sure there is a black pudding factory behind the surgery, a short break then feet done at another surgery, toe nails cut and painted in mad colours as you do, (not really painted sprayed).
    Off to see my Granddaughter come home from school on her 14th birthday I had the present she wanted but did not expect, big hugs all round then home and feet up, let the young ones have their day all out to dinner later not me, way past dancing round my handbag or should that be "err" am I allowed to say it, MANBAG.

    To some I would say A Merry Non-Religeous Specific Holiday, to my friends on here and those who only hover, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, roll on spring.
    Frank.
