The Xmas Thread

[partyweb]

Hi all,

Let's hear all your views on the Xmas season, whether you're religious or not. What do you look forward to, or dread. Are things too commercialised or do you just revel in all the glitter, lights, and general joyous spirit that December brings.

Also without being offensive lets hear all those seasonal jokes (and I don't mean the ones you find in the crackers). And any weird and wonderful stories of past years.

Three men died on Christmas Eve and were met by Saint Peter at the pearly gates.

"In honour of this holy season," Saint Peter said, “you must each possess something which symbolizes Christmas to get into heaven."

The first man fumbled through his pockets and pulled out a lighter. He flicked it on. "It represents a candle", he said.

"You may pass through the pearly gates" Saint Peter said.

The second man reached into his pocket and pulled out a set of keys. He shook them and said, "They're bells."

Saint Peter said "You may pass through the pearly gates".

The third man started searching desperately through his pockets and finally pulled out a pair of women's panties.

St. Peter looked at the man with a raised eyebrow and asked, "And just what do those symbolize?"

The man replied, "These are Carols."

And So The Christmas Season Begins......

The man replied, "These are Carols."

Yup, that'll be that Lost S3 dvd box set that the other half has 'bought' me.


Seriously though. I tend to start my Xmas shopping in October. Whenever I see something going cheap in a sale that looks just right for someone in particular I get it then and put it away til Xmas. Helps spread the cost and also means I buy something that they will hopefully enjoy rather than something I bought in a last minute panic because I'm going round their house in a day or two.

Has anybody got any ideas if the expanding universe has black holes which co exist with other parallel universes.

I think in the 13th dimension a universe is just a bubble that has other universes in it. Hopefully the M Theory will have some answers some day, but probably not in our existance.

Some people say that black holes don't exist because you can't see them.

What do you guys think.

Cheers.
