What does Christmas mean to you?

When I was shopping yesterday I found some lovely mince pies but the er Friend I was with stopped me buying them

 

[Noodley]

Not round here it isn't!

Ok, I'll eat it under the mistletoe. Happy now?

I would be happy enough if you just ate it. It's up to you if you want to eat it whilst tempting ladies to share it with you...I suppose you'd have done most of the chewing for them

That is no kind of friend.

Buy pies. They will be your friend.

How did I know some one one would say that

Christmas to me is a sentiment - the crisp honesty of familial togetherness.

I remember one christmas when dad was out of work and Lady, our cat gave birth to a litter of kittens on christmas eve. Money was short, and we couldn't afford to keep the kittens, and when mum walked in with a bucket of water and rolled her sleeves up we screamed.

But oh the relief when she said 'these kittens need a good wash if they're going to be presentable for santa!'. Then we all sat around drying the kittens and singing christmas carols.

Was someone not sent out acquire pies? If only you had sung the carols outside a home of a kindly elderly neighbour....

Double time.....so I can buy loads of pies in the sales!

No, nothing like that. The harmony was broken when at about 3pm in the morning my dad came in pissed and tripped on top of the cat basket.

I can still hear the death miaows and on christmas morning a basket full of crap furry beermats. We soon forgot about the kittens once we'd opened our proper electrical presents though.

If only he had lined his stomach with a few pies before he went out things could have been so much better for you.
