I’ve written a Christmas themed meme. Its short and kinda stupid. Basically, its all about the capitalist experience of Christmas and not at all about the religious or spiritual experience Christmas was meant to be.
- What do you really want for Christmas but you know nobody will get it for you?
a toaster oven
- What do you not want for Christmas but you know that somebody will get it for you?
chocolates
- When do you open your gifts (Christmas eve or Christmas morning)?
Christmas eve
- Do you prefer gifts wrapped or in gift bags
Wrapped
- Did you regift anything this year?
Not yet, just waiting for the unwanted chocolates
- What’s your favourite Christmas movie
Bad Santa.
- What’s your favourite Christmas TV special
Merry Christmas Mr. Bean
- Do you like egg nog?
Some years I do, some years I don’t. This year I’m going to avoid it.
- Real tree or fake tree, which do you prefer?
Fake tree, a lot less mess
- Would you actually use one of those fireplace DVDs if you don’t have a fireplace?
Never. I would never use one of those fireplace DVDs.
- Are you sick of Christmas music yet?
If I hear Santa Baby once more, I will probably rip off some of my own toes just to have something to plug my ears
- Are you getting up early to wait in line to do some Boxing Day shopping (Canada’s equivalent to Black Friday)
Nope. If I didn’t need it before Christmas, I don’t need it after Christmas just because its “on sale”.
- When was the last time you sat on Santa’s lap?
Long time ago, probably the late eighties
I’m going to tag all the usual bloggers: Bob (even though you hate these), Wiwille (I bet you don’t like these), JLee (you like these silly things, right?), Angel (you might not notice this), Big Ben (you probably won’t notice this), Juice (you definetely won’t notice this), Miss Ash (I can’t think of any snappy comment here), Woozie (too busy calling the mall Santa a honky to have the time to do a meme), BDS (probably have better things to do, bathing with a barbarous Swede perhaps) and Dan (if you can break away from beating up a bus-load of five year olds). Feel free to answer it if you’d like. If you don’t, I really don’t care. Anybody else who would like to answer it, go nuts.
Happy Christmas everyone!
Merry Christmas to you too. I will take this tag, if you don’t mind.

Ho, ho, ho. I hadn’t seen this one floating around Cyberspace. And you should demand somebody buy you a toaster oven. Be specific and unyielding and it will be yours.
But what the hell is a fireplace DVD? It sounds ridiculous.
Comment by BDS — December 19, 2007 @ 10:12 am
A toaster oven!?
No way, You’ll shoot your eye out.
Comment by Dan — December 19, 2007 @ 10:22 am
modobs – be my guest.
BDS – You haven’t seen it because I wrote it. A Fireplace DVD is a video of an active fireplace playing in a loop. My thinking is that people without fireplaces play these during Christmas eve dinners for that Christmassy feel.

I shall do this tonight cause I have nothing else to write about.
Comment by Miss Ash — December 19, 2007 @ 10:37 am
Dan – maybe with those American toaster ovens.
Miss Ash – that’s why I wrote the meme, I had nothing else to write about.

wow a WIGSF original meme. Now I’ll have to do it.
Comment by wiwille — December 19, 2007 @ 11:07 am
I don’t know what a “meme” is but I would like to respond to this part:
“Nope. If I didn’t need it before Christmas, I don’t need it after Christmas just because its “on sale”. ”
But what if you did need it before Christmas but you knew it was going to be cheaper on boxing day? I want to buy a new laptop so that I can junk the paperweight that I have had for a few years now. Also I find it cheaper to buy books and DVDs after boxing day too. I need to buy these books but it doesn’t make fiscal sense to pay the price this week.
Comment by Bob — December 19, 2007 @ 12:35 pm
wiwille – it is a rarity…
Bob – A meme is one of these lists of stupid questions. You’ve seen them before.
Comment by whatigotsofar — December 19, 2007 @ 1:19 pm
and will you respond to my comments about “Boxing Day”?
Comment by Bob — December 19, 2007 @ 1:31 pm
I love Merry Christmas Mr Bean
Comment by Rawbean — December 19, 2007 @ 10:36 pm
A toaster oven? Ooooh, good call!

Rawbean – A grown man playing with a Nativity scene, and it works. Proof that comedy can be brilliant.
Claire – I need a second toaster oven. Can’t be bothered to get up off the couch to make some snacks. I want one by the couch dammit.
Comment by whatigotsofar — December 20, 2007 @ 9:44 am
Nobody will get you a toaster oven even when you advertise for it?? That’s a shame, I almost feel like shipping one to you just because.

Comment by David Amulet — December 20, 2007 @ 1:39 pm
He is advertising way too late. It is a week before Christmas. I purchased his gift like a month ago!
Comment by Bob — December 20, 2007 @ 7:35 pm
David – I likes the new Krups model.
Bob – so ya found the t-shirt eh?
Comment by whatigotsofar — December 20, 2007 @ 7:56 pm
hahahahaha, seriously do you really think I am that predictable? Even if I found the t-shirt i wouldn’t give it to you right now, you are expecting the t-shirt.
Comment by Bob — December 21, 2007 @ 10:08 am
Maybe I’ll re-gift you a toater oven? Merry Xmas!
Comment by JLee — December 21, 2007 @ 5:47 pm
hey, how did I get a profile picture all of a sudden? hhmm
Comment by JLee — December 21, 2007 @ 5:47 pm
Bob – you are very predictable.
JLee – I didn’t do it.
Comment by whatigotsofar — December 21, 2007 @ 9:04 pm
How am I gonna call Santa a honky. Everyone knows Santa is black.

I agree, those DVD fireplaces are tacky!!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!
Comment by angelcjr — December 28, 2007 @ 5:50 pm
P.S. I didn’t get to do this meme because I didn’t read it till today and although Christmas should always be in our hearts, the holiday/day itself has passed. But I will do it next year if you remind me to.
Comment by angelcjr — December 28, 2007 @ 5:53 pm
I am surprised that WIGSF hasn’t written anything over the last week.

RE: The Blog
Listen, I know you Soviets up in America’s Hat run your clocks on the Viking system, meaning you’re a few hours behind us. But I do think it’s time for another post, since KKKhristmas was four days ago Or does Red Father mandate that Christmas is for the bourgeoisie, and you have a week-long holiday celebrating the feats of the proletariat?
