Christmas poll

[slemslempike]

I hope that you all had nice Christmases if you do Christmas. I quite enjoyed myself. I got to play my new version of Trivial Pursuit (deluxe, where you have an "abbot" that goes round the edge and gets you new skills, and different levels of difficulty for each question), and Bananagrams, which rocks. I am now back in Lancaster being a bit ill and enjoying my Christmas presents. Also I bought a hat.

For people who also do Christmas in the present getting sense:

[Poll #1113612]

I do realise that this poll doesn't allow for people not having had stockings. This is as it should be. I don't want to know of such deprivations.

The family never forgot Christmas when I was 5. The key "stocking" present was a cuckoo clock. Because Father Christmas was going to bring it, although it was set and wound up when placed on the wall it hadn't been tested.

I was good. I was very, very good. I waited until it cuckooed seven times before I burst in on my parents shouting "Happy Christmas!"

It wasn't my fault that it was only 4 am.

When I was 7, at the French school in London, I was puzzled at first by the very different way Father Christmas manifested himself in France. The conclusion I came to was that it was what I would now call a franchise; after all, it wasn't logical that one person could deal with the whole world.

Oh, that's great that you decided it must be a franchise! It makes perfect sense.

And you were very good, it's a shame about the clock.
