I hate to get that power bill. You also have to take it all down.

No thanks. Yes, the electric bill is a concern but the bigger concern for me is the hassle of putting up all that crap and then taking it down. Heck, I find putting up and taking down the basic Christmas tree to be a hassle.

I have the perfect amount of Christmas decorations for me. Zero.

If it was up to me that would be the case in my house as well.

I watch the entire vid. It's #%&*$# good.

This video saying to get that warm and fuzzy Christmas feeling of peace and togetherness we all love during the holiday, we need to shoot a few terrorists and thiefs.

It was funny at first but now it seems every Christmas this same debate comes up on the internet. It's like those endless "Downfall" parodies.

Christmas is also when TV full of commercials telling us to shop and buy.

It's on at Christmas last 2-3 years.

It's at times like this when I'm thankful I don't have a TV. Endless drivel thrown at you that I can do without.

I hate those two GMC commercials.

Well, if the Grinch is lookin' for a place to hang out tomorrow, I know where to send him, here.

The music selection bites though and I wonder how many of those homeless people they were begging for could have been fed
with what they spent?

Santa is already hard at work. He is in Russia right now.

If the Google Santa tracker doesn't work for you, use NORAD

NORAD been tracking Santa for 60+ years because of a fluke in a Sears advertisement:

I went to my friend's house recently and noticed that his Christmas tree was bare except for a shotgun shell near the top. I asked, "What's the deal, no decorations?"

Puzzled, he looked at me and said, "What do you mean? It's a cartridge in a bare tree."

Hoppy now ear, i mean hippy no ears, merry new your, aaaahh fk it!! ol the bist for 3021, i mean have a good no ear............Aaaaahh fk it!! i'm having another drink!

I've just had a message from and Aussie mate:

"I will be the first Chuffolite to experience New Year 2021.
I'll let you all know if it sucks."

What's a chuffolite?

Online Squadron, 'Chuffy's Flying Circus', mainly comprising current or retired pilots, military and commercial and Old Farts like me And at 70 I'm one of the youngest!

Thanks for that illumination BD!
