humbug meme (now with #4!)

It’s actually called the “Stuff I Hate About the Holidays Meme” and Coffeepastor started it. Humbug takes up a lot less space in the title line.

 

1) dessert/cookie/family food - Sand Tarts. Be gone, spawn of Satan!

2) beverage (seasonal beer, eggnog w/ way too much egg and not enough nog, etc…)  - Any beer that has fruity flavor added, including but not in any sense limited to Pete’s Wicked Winter Brew. Wicked indeed. Ugh.

3) tradition (church, family, other) - Staying up late to wrap presents.

4) decoration - I was going to give this honor to Will’s Star Trek Christmas Tree Ornaments, but that was before someone installed a red light on our front porch. Yes, it is true. We now have the only house in our neighborhood, in fact, the only house in all of Pottstown with a red porchlight. Red!!!

5) gift (received or given) - Rocks. My parents actually gave us a bag of rocks one Christmas. No, not last year you goof! When we were kids. My brother and sister deserved the rocks but I did not. I was an angel. My brother and sister will back me up on this.

BONUS: SONG/CD that makes you want to tell the elves where to stick it. - Coffeepastor really can’t stand Feliz Navidad, but I kind of like that song. Santa Baby by anybody just makes me gag, but particularly when Madonna sings it. Ewww! I don’t even like to think about it.

The Red Light District…heh.

What’s wrong with rocks anyway? I rather like them. :-)

Her name wouldn’t happen to be Roxanne, would it? ;)

I’m not sure I’ve ever had sand tarts. Are they those things that sometimes have the yucky jelly stuff on top?

Nice play. Although I can’t take credit for starting this one. That belongs to the RevGalBlogPals.

Gwynne,

The red light is awful. It’s just awful. I’m hoping that maybe my kindhearted, longsuffering, incredibly beautiful wife will see this post and the comments and reconsider her what will soon prove to be brief moment of complete insanity.

You could put up a green light. …whole different connotation, there.
