Would you rather...

[Veronica]

have Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer or Frosty the Snowman as a friend?

Veronica

[Eden]

Without hesitation, Rudolph. What's that mean

[ny biker]

Rudolph.

Frosty has to hang out in freezers and I can't handle the cold.

[Veronica]

I don't think it means anything. It's from a list of Christmas related discussion questions another teacher gave me today. My students mostly chose Rudolf.

One I'm going to ask next week: Would you rather have $100 to buy presents for yourself or $1000 to buy presents for others?

[OakLeaf]

I have to choose between preparing for imminent loss, or bright lights all night long? Can I have the Abominable Snowman?

[Crankin]

None of the above. This doesn't apply to me and would not have been allowed in the district where I taught!

[Bones8]

Definitely Rudolph. Although Frosty is not that bad in animation (every costume snowman or gingerbread man is scary as all heck though)

[rebeccaC]

changed my mind....sorry cindy-lou who....now i'm choosing as a friend, heather

I just saw that for the first time yesterday, Oak, after seeing Neil Gaimans post on Twitter. I know what you're saying.
If I were on your continent, I'd invite you and all of my other favourite Christmas Grinches to go out for a bike ride in the snow, and then go for drinks someplace noisy and unsentimental. Here's a virtual toast to you all. You're some of my favourite people I've never met, the sun has turned and we're moving towards summer. We'll be fine.

Oak,
I could have used that as my theme song this weekend. I took my 85 tear old MIL to mass on Saturday. As I sat and listen to the service, I thought, the music is nice, but the lyrics are a little dodgey.....I followed it up by wishing my husbands family a Happy Solstice the next day

They love me anyway.....

We normally run away at Christmas and our tradition is to summit something on Christmas day. WAY too many years of family dysfunction on both sides as brought to this. It works. This year I am stuck at home recovering with the foot. Bit of a bummer......

I agree with lph.....you are some of the coolest women I have never met. I raise my cup of tea to all of you!

[Crankin]

Agreed. Wish all of my friends were like you guys.

My favorite thing about Christmas is the day off work and the nightmare daily commute is a little more bearable.

We are Christians, but we don't decorate or exchange gifts or go to church for Christmas. I do enjoy hearing how all faiths celebrate, regardless of the date and what they celebrate.

If I were on your continent, I'd invite you and all of my other favourite Christmas Grinches to go out for a bike ride in the snow, and then go for drinks someplace noisy and unsentimental. .

and I'd invite you to spend the week here on the northern california coast with us ....a good storm is coming in tomorrow to make a warm fire and bottles of wine or hot chocolate even more enjoyable!!!

[rocknrollgirl]

Thanks for the invite....I am on my way.

Is that your view?

[rebeccaC]

Thanks for the invite....I am on my way.

Is that your view?
