Well, Father Christmas is reeling rather drunkenly and repletely towards the East, having wreaked his usuel havoc downunder for those of us with less than perfect families.
For years, I was part of a group of friends (fellow orphlings and such) who maintained a 36 hour christmas party, where other friends wobbled in, fresh from family hells, to be succoured, pour out their stories of woe (my parents STILL don't get that I am GAY...Uncle Ben stuffed his fascist **** down all our throats again...Auntie May was passive aggressive until Mum cracked...etc.) fluffed up, cheered up, and fell in line to assist the next casulaties.
So...sit down, cuddle up......have a drink or a toke....so....who behaved badly? What infant wounds were opened up? Who did you yell at? You got drunk and broke Auntie Silvia's crystal AGAIN? Your mum had to be carried off by the mental health emergency team? Uncle Dick felt you up again? Yes, yes, I know you will never see your family again, there, there.... Oh, silent tension and an atmosphere you could cut with a knife? Oh no, they've been born again AGAIN? You had a great time? So did I...go and help him....
Here you can relax and let it all out...good and bad.
Who has the ice?
Company Christmas party at the country club. Two tickets for "adult" drinks, and two tickets for the door prize drawing, so it was fairly sober and restrained, though the bartender did like to pour - Crown Royal, no less, and I won a drawing of a door.
Oh, all right. I won $100.00. Like a fool, I bought a tank of gas today.

It's over, it's over, it's over for another year!
YAHOOO! 
the whole family can't get together this year so it's gonna be a quiet affair, which is nice, we had a sort of mini xmas a few weeks back but it was more like a reg family visit than the horror that holiday's can ussually bring (although reg family visit can have their moments too)
Worked dayshift. Had dinner with friends after work. Only one drink, because I've got to work tomorrow. It was very civilised, but very enjoyable.
That sounds very sensible, djjd!
I might try that next time!
Now, as just about everyone else is missing right now, we can do
anything we want! Outrageous threads, whatever ..... Hey A2K is ours, OURS right now!
Thinking, thinking ......
So...what we gonna do?
Pour whisky on people's threads and set 'em on fire?
Graffiti rude words on all the rights' threads, and also incomprehensible Australian rude words, and pretend to be offended when they take 'em the "wrong" way?
Oh well, looks like no one's talking then.
OK, byee!
I'm off!
Weeeeeelllllll....what'm I then, chopped liver?
Not to mention the others who esponded?
Harrumph!
Deb!
You must have been hiding. Didn't see you!

Was so not hiding!

Well it's only just past midday here- still a lot of eating and drinking to do.
Watch out, liver, here it comes!
Not many folks posting on the Internet today- they're probably roasting chestnuts on an open fire, or something.

I probably should report this to the moderators - purely on the grounds of incomprehension.
So....sounds like nobody' killed anybody, and nobody is never speaking to anybody else ever again?
What sort of goddamn christmas IS this!
Stumble It!
