Our X-Mas Tree

[slug]

This year we decided not to use our usual fake x-mas tree. Instead we picked up a tumbleweed on the way home from Thanksgiving at Noelle's (Mrs. Slug) parents. So here it is in all its glory:

In 1998 I used my Ducati as a Xmas tree- took the doors off the house so I could get it inside. I covered it in tinslel and baubles and surrounded it in presents. The whole house stank of petrol for weeks.

 

I was divorced shortly afterwards.

ThanX slug <_ now that tumbling tumbleweed song keeps echoing in my head src="%7B___base_url___%7D/uploads/emoticons/default_wacko.png" alt=":wacko:">

It might look more Xmas like with more toys under it, like maybe a Norge

Or you could spray it with synthetic snow.

Now to get that song out of my head...

On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me, a Moto Guzzi MGS01.

On the second day of Christmas my true love gave to me, two deerskin gloves and a Moto Guzzi MGS01.

On the third day of Christmas my true love gave to me, three wrench hands two deerskin gloves and a Moto Guzzi MGS01.

On the fourth day of Christmas my true love gave to me, four mating Serges, three wrench hands, two deerskin gloves and a Moto Guzzi MGS01.

On the fifth day of Christmas my true love gave to me, Five piston rings, four mating Serges, three wrench hands, two deerskin gloves and a Moto Guzzi MGS01.

On the sixth day of Christmas my true love gave to me, six geese for riding, Five piston rings, four mating Serges, three wrench hands, two deerskin gloves and a Moto Guzzi MGS01.

Great idea Mr and Ms Slug! I like it!

I decorated a large chilli plant we had in our living room once. It didn't make much sence but then it was sure cool looking. I'd like a tree with all the ornaments and lights on it that folds up like an umbrela, but still looks somewhat real. IS That really too much to ask or what?

I wish I had thought of that! Then I might have had the 'shortly' part too!

Get Santa Drunk

 

 

 

 

Angel Atop The Christmas Tree

 

One particular Christmas a long time ago, Santa was getting ready for his annual trip... but there were problems everywhere.

 

Four of his elves got sick, and the trainee elves did not produce the toys as fast as the regular ones, so Santa was beginning to feel the pressure of being behind schedule.

 

Then, Mrs. Claus told him that her mom was coming to visit, which stressed Santa even more.

 

When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were about to give birth and two had jumped the fence and were out, heaven knows where.

 

More stress.

 

When he began to load the sleigh, one of the boards cracked and the toy bag fell to the ground, scattering the toys.

 

So, frustrated, Santa went back into the house for a cup of coffee and a shot of whisky. When he went to the cupboard, he discovered that the elves hid the liquor and there was nothing to drink. In his frustration, he accidentally dropped the coffee pot and it broke into hundreds of little pieces.

 

He went to get the broom and found that mice had eaten the straw it was made from.

 

Just then, the doorbell rang and Santa cussed his way to the door.

 

He opened the door and there was a little angel with a great big Christmas tree. The angel said, very cheerfully, "Merry Christmas Santa. Isn't it just a lovely day? I have this beautiful tree for you. Where would you like me to stick it?

 

Thus began the tradition of the little angel atop the Christmas tree.
