Dweezil Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 The vomit of children who have indulged in too much Christmas candy and excitement. The despair of the homeless. The sorrow of those alone on that day. The hate of countries divided. The pain of those in hospice dying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There really is nothing like the smell of a real tree, and it is a whole scene going out to cut down the tree. I shall post some pictures later (when I'm a bit more sober) to try and convert the "fake-tree' people. http://www.therushforum.net/html/emoticons/1022.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drumnut Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 Christmas Cookie Mix Cookie Mix 1 cup of water 1 tsp baking soda 1 cup of sugar 1 tsp salt 1 cup of brown sugar 4 large eggs 1 cup nuts 2 cups of dried fruit 1 bottle Jose Cuervo Tequilla Sample the Cuervo to check quality. Take a large bowl, check the Cuervo again, to be sure it is of the highest quality, pour one level cup and drink. Turn on the electric mixer...Beat one cup of butter in a large fluffy bowl. Add one teaspoon of sugar...Beat again. At this point it's best to make sure the Cuervo is still OK, try another cup... just in case. Turn off the mixerer thingy. Break 2 leggs and add to the bowl and chuck in the cup of dried fruit, Pick the frigging fruit off floor... Mix on the turner. If the fried druit gets stuck in the beaterers just pry it loose with a drewscriver. Sample the Cuervo to check for tonsisticity. Next, sift two cups of salt, or something. Who giveshz a sheet. Check the Jose Cuervo. Now shift the lemon juice and strain your nuts. Add one table. Add a spoon of sugar, or somefink. Whatever you can find. Greash the oven. Turn the cake tin 360 degrees and try not to fall over. Don't forget to beat off the turner. Finally, throw the bowl through the window, finish the Cose Juervo and make sure to put the stove in the dishwasher. CHERRY MISTMAS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afansince74 Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 This is the first year in 7 that we've had a tree in our house. Actually, this is the first year in 7 that we've had a house!! Just finished a very long remodel WHILE we were living in it (a tip from your friendly TRF builder/contractor... DON'T DO THAT!!!!!!!) Anyway, it's so nice to smell the fresh pine... and the cookies in the oven... and the hot cinnamon cider...

Snowdog Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 Ok, it's not a smell of Christmas, but a taste. Every year at Christmas I give myself a treat. A local chocolatier makes choclate covered popcorn. It is a little pricey (hell, it's a LOT pricey) so I limit my intake to once a year at Christmas. At first I thought the combination sounded too weird to be good but then I tried the free sample http://www.therushforum.net/html/emoticons/tongue.gif It is outstanding.

Snowdog Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 Oh yeah, yesterday when I was picking up my chocolate popcorn they had a new item to try: chocolate covered Nutter Butter cookies. They were outstanding and lasted about 10 minutes http://www.therushforum.net/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif If you guys can't tell, I love chocolate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
