Tis the season

Everywhere I go in Cyberland, there are lists. Lots of lists. Apparently, the end of the year gets people thinking about what was really good for said year and the "Top 10" list gets trotted out to the masses. Who knew? So, in honour of this magical tradition, here is my top ten list of random crap related to Christmas.

Top 10 Random Crap relating to Christmas (in no particular order)

1. Subversive Christmas Movies
Who wouldn't love a bit of holiday cheer? Well, me for one. I love me a bit of The Ref or Scrooged... so much better than the sugary sweet fare they usually offer around Christmas. In fact, it's not quite Christmas unless I see Denis Leary abusing Kevin Spacey and Judy Davis... ah, memories...

2. Christmas Pudding
I found a recipe for Christmas pudding in one of the ancient magazines at work one year and it's been a staple ever since. It is full of untold goodness.

3. The search for the perfect Mince Pie pastry
Every year, I find a new recipe. Every year, crushing disappointment. I thought I might have gotten close this year, but nope. Bugger. Damn Balfours and their yummy pastry. I just know it's made with powdered egg concentrate and milk substitute.

4. Putting up the decs!
Even though I have to wait until after my sister's birthday (everyone knows that the Christmas Pagent means you can put up the tinsel and lights... who cares that it's at the beginning of November?), I still love me a bit of Christmas decoration fun times.

5. Reading about Vanessa's trip to France for a skiing Christmas
No one wants to hear about the insane amounts of fun you are having. No one!

6. The Crappy DJs Magic Cave
It in no way reaches the splendour of John Martins Magic Cave (you are missed!), but its still fun times. I guess... :)

7. Reading all the lists on the internet and disagreeing heartily.
Always a fun past time.

8. Being glad I am not in England for Christmas.
While I love the place to pieces, it is -3 some days. -3!

9. Having to work through Christmas.
Actually, that sucks. Ugh.

10. Getting drunk and eating too much.
Ah, merry, merry times.

Hope you all have fabulous Christmases!
