Yes I know that commercially Christmas is over but I go by the church calendar so there are still 12 days of celebration in my book! (Though I have not convinced Laurent to buy me a gift for each day!!!!!!!) And besides I had a stock of Christmas memes that I had saved that I’ll be darned that I’ll let go to waste.
N.B. There will be the odd comment though not my usual witty and wise introduction to each meme. The old brain synapses are still making misconnections.
My friend David is House Manager at a theatre that presents The Nutcracker. He watched Clara do in the Mouse King 38 times this year. He deserves a medal – and danger pay.
Everyone has their own idea of a Nativity scene.
I’m still waiting for the invitation?
The bag is almost empty but I’ll leave you with this touching version of the Nativity. I posted it on a religious humour site I belong to and it has had over 4000 hits in the last few days. Of the 100 odd comments only 3 have displayed misandry. Interesting.
The word for December 25th is:
Misandry mĭ-săn′drē: [noun]
The hatred of, pathological aversion to, or prejudice against men.
Formed as mis- (“hatred”) + -andry (“men”) by analogy with misogyny; compare the Ancient Greek μισανδρία (misandria), from μισέω (miseō, “hate”) + ἀνήρ (anēr, “man”).
LOVE the last one! (Joseph qui prend la relève de Marie).
OK I did not scroll far enough. I looked up misandry before I realized it was the word of the day. Great to see the Monday Memes again. Loved the reindeer but the devilled eggs were a little scary.
SO many good ones! The cardiac Christmas garland, the Mouse King & Nutcracker, the Baby Jesus eggs, and Grandma’s nursing home door! I love the last one too. St Joseph is not referenced enough as a good example and model of healthy, non-toxic, masculine gender role values. I think I’ll do a blog post on that next Christmas.
The deviled eggs Baby Jesus plate are so creepy … and funny. Or more likely, they were for a baby shower. STILL creepy and funny.
Oh Willym. As if you would be using the self-checkout at Walmart. That’s what houseboys are for.
I approve of using up the Christmas memes even now. Often you can get them for 50% off during Boxing Week sales, and if people raise eyebrows you can blame delays at the post office.
