Tree trimming

how about the cash ..and just a little very cheap inexpensive , even deliberatley jokey thing wrapped up just for fun?
nothing any thought or money went on ... just a quite random jokey present ... no one expects anything ..just the fun of it?
(most presents ever bought by me fall into this category
)Kinda like your christmas stocking stuff?
some gloves with a satsuma, a walnut and a minature bottle of whiskey / countreau etc etc?
easy and fun to shop for - about one hour and preferablly one shop ought to do it - and all the fun of the fair!
anyway - Let's face it, once you are adults ... rarely is the present actually that awe inspiring ... its as much about the banter opening them all up and being together etc.. -
having the family together ... being little kids inside again with your brothers and sisters etc ... passing this fun on to the next generation ... the stoopid customs and traditions ... like what Catocom said somewhere (in the thread patrolled vigilantly by the Enforcer ...
.. i think )
tis the fun of it rather than the actual present, mostly.

I'm sure it's lovely but Rob is allergic to corn and soy so most local fare would involve the 2.

I can take you through part of the country where they do. Its frightening. Row after row of houses that leave up the twinkler icicles throughout the year.
Leaving regular lights up all year (if they're NOT turned on) is OK...leaving those damn icicle lights up all year turns ones house into an eye sore (even if they're not on)...if you're gonna leave your lights up for the love of god, just use regular straight string lights!

I am finding myself redecorating the tree EVERYDAY because the darned cats won't stay out of it when we are not home!
Not hard to take care of, either flush em down the toilet or kick em outside...

You named your cat after the silmaril? 
Now that's asking for trouble.

IF Santa's naked and thinking of the children, perhaps someone should notify the DND and Homeland Security peeps. He's a pagan legend from overseas who's planning on breaking into every home in America, in some cases planting fossil fuel fragments into people's socks!!
