Psssst! Stoatie, don’t tell them how much the bloody turkey is costing, someone might have high blood pressure!

Clearly it’s a roboweasel from Wallace and Gromit! 🙂

The mighty draft (or draught) weasel has a mouse clinging to his right shoulder, and the mouse has the tow ropes firmly clenched in its manly teeth and jaws. Teamwork!

We don’t put up a tree but we do set up a fine and beautiful nativity/creche on a table in a corner and we find that it fulfills our needs and desires. ☦️🙏📿

Oh, you’ve talked about those bronze turkeys before. I’d buy one, too, if I could. Our Christmas celebration will be delayed until the Sunday after Christmas, so I haven’t decided what to make yet. JavaMan suggested meat loaf, which I don’t cook often enough to suit him.

We haven’t had a live tree since the first year we were married—1970! Bought a Charlie Brown Christmas tree for 50 cents on Christmas Eve.

For my birthday in February 1999, my mother asked me what I wanted and I told her “a huge Christmas Tree.” The trees were on big sale by then, and I found a 10ft tall, $700 tree for $149. Our house had a cathedral ceiling, and it was our Last House so I was ready to go big. Insert laughter here.

By December 1999 we were packing to move from Amarillo to Houston, and it was two years before I got to put up my huge tree. Then we moved again, again, again. By the time we got back to the Texas panhandle, we’d moved nine times in 20 years. Java Man says this is our Last House. I say maybe.

Now I put up a little tree again; it was the last present I ever received from my mother, so you know how much I love it.

Have a nice weekend, y’all. Deb

When the Durned sons were still here they would move the Three Kings from the manger scene to various parts of the house using the argument “they weren’t there until Christmas and were traveling to Bethlehem”.
And assured us their guides would make sure they were present,at the appropriate date and approximate time.
(Forcing me to keep my lips zipped about the non-reality of a December birth based on actual historical fact).

While I had ZERO to do with this behavior, I did take pride in seeing evidence some mischieveous behaviors are clearly genetic.
Unfortunately from a reality standpoint it meant the Three Kings didn’t ever make it to the manger and instead had to be hunted down and rounded up during the Christmas decoration clean up.
As I recall they still had not made the trip across the dangerous dog filled deserts of Kitchenfloor and were still crossing the high passes of the PhoneDesk Mountains when found.

The more I look at that tree, the more I wonder which way’s up. Maybe it was grown up in the ISS in orbital microgravity? Also, shouldn’t the weasel (plus mouse) be pulling the cart and not the tree? AI sometimes is more akin to AC (artificial confusion).

P.S. I’m trying to get fam & friends, when they see or hear “AI”, to think “SKYNET.”

@Durnedyankee:

The Feast of the Immaculate Conception is December 8.

Do the math.

WOW

Nobody had Rob Reiner…

@ExpressoBold Pureblood — But I bet many of us wished we’d picked him for a win without the slightest hint of mixed emotions.

No mixed emotions at all.

The betas in charge of the Charlie Kirk Show started eulogizing Reiner this afternoon and I immediately turned the garbage off.

To his credit, President Trump refused to back off his dislike and opposition to Rob Reiner just this afternoon. I’m in good, good company when PDJT agrees with me!

Christmas trees, if I put one up, would come from my back yard so would only cost a bit of effort and maybe a drop of chainsaw gas. Ma Nature does a wonderful job of decorating starting in October and she leaves it all up until April. She even provides the fancy lights when the sky is clear. There’s only myself here so I don’t bother much…..
