@Rasta @ItsThatDeafGuy @RickiTarr

I like Christmas, appreciate others don't for a variety of reasons but agree about them starting to put stuff out in October or earlier in some cases.

What makes me laugh is last years Xmas number 1, sure thatr record apparently beat what the beatles achieved.

What is not mentioned is that I want to hold your hand was Xmas number 1, in 1964 I think but was released in November that year and was still number 1 after xmas.

Last years Xmas number 1 was released 2 days (or about that) before Xmas with a huge fuss on TV etc to promote it.

@zleap @Rasta @ItsThatDeafGuy What is Xmas number 1

@RickiTarr @zleap @Rasta @ItsThatDeafGuy 😹

@purplepadma @zleap @Rasta @ItsThatDeafGuy Oh no am I being an American Dummie?!

@RickiTarr @zleap @Rasta @ItsThatDeafGuy Well I was more laughing at the thought of how beautiful it would be not to know what a Xmas no. 1 is

@Rasta @mstdn.ca @purplepadma @ItsThatDeafGuy @zleap I guess maybe you shouldn’t tell me & @RickiTarr, then; so as not to ruin our beautiful Xmas no. 1 innocence?

@RickiTarr @zleap @Rasta @ItsThatDeafGuy (I don't actually know but am picturing a hit record in the vein of "Love Actually"

@zleap My wife still does the tree and decorations . I don't play, but I don't deny.. I just don't want to be subjected to it cult-like for 3 months every year .@ItsThatDeafGuy @RickiTarr

@RickiTarr I'm older, and it hasn't .. But just like Climate Change, I remember the changes @zleap @ItsThatDeafGuy

@Rasta @zleap @ItsThatDeafGuy I just mean in the sense that people pretend it's new and it's not at all.

@RickiTarr It's gotten worse every year. I'm quite offended by expensive gifts, and try to prevent people from GIFTING me, I don't deserve it.
My barber said, I love my wife all the time, I might get her a gift in Aug @zleap @ItsThatDeafGuy

@Rasta @zleap @ItsThatDeafGuy I don't like big expensive gifting either, it's not fun or fair for people who just can't or don't want to. Ha that's my Valentine's thing, my husband is nice to me year round, I don't need it one day of the year.

@RickiTarr Tell Hubby it's a commercial creation, he should just randomly gift you any time of
year. Diamonds. .if he really loves you LOL In Oct, Nov and Aug. @zleap @ItsThatDeafGuy

@Rasta @zleap @ItsThatDeafGuy He is nice year round and gets me chocolate when I want. Wait, can I blame him for my belly poochie. LOL Alright that's me.

@RickiTarr There's no reason not to gift my wife anytime, she sure deserves it. Why wait for Christmas? Also, since I don't believe in Christmas, again, why wait. Happy Wife, Happy Life, she held the fort for me for 29 years of the 33 I served. She needs far more gifts than she gets.
But, that's why I don't need reminders in October. I need them on her birthday LOL

@RickiTarr I should say "42, and you still believe in Santa" LOL Or Christmas @zleap @ItsThatDeafGuy

@Rasta @zleap @ItsThatDeafGuy I just like getting together with people, food and twinkle lights lol, I'm agnostic and think Santa is cute, and baby Jesus is fine as long as I don't have to pretend a baby saved my soul

@RickiTarr Me too, did you pick a date, and can we bring something when we come to visit you? LOL, but, you never hear Walmart saying Just TWO MONTHS to get together with Family.. @zleap @ItsThatDeafGuy

@Rasta @zleap @ItsThatDeafGuy I honestly only go to Wal-Mart if it's an emergency lol it's so depressing Christmas or otherwise

@RickiTarr It is, but we have like 2 choices here, Giant Tiger and Walmart. And the big three grocery chains. I don't care, I don't shop in them, they play tasteless Christmas music in October LOL @zleap @ItsThatDeafGuy

@Rasta @zleap @ItsThatDeafGuy Yeah it sucks, especially in small towns, I get most of mine delivered or pick up anymore, started in Covid and found it much nicer

@RickiTarr I've been doing Curbside pickup @zleap @ItsThatDeafGuy

@Rasta @RickiTarr @ItsThatDeafGuy

Santa is true ... Don't tell me I've been lied to all my life ... Giggles

The only thing I believe about Christmas is that humans go crazy, get mad because of things they should have sorted before, and abundance of rudeness ... Ho ho ho

I do look forward to Christmas, as I get 5 to 6 weeks off ... Giggles

Hugz & xXx

@melissabeartrix @RickiTarr @ItsThatDeafGuy

Come, sit on Santa's lap, and I'll tell ye an old sea story. .HoHoho

SANTA'S A PERV. HE'S JUST TRYING TO GET YOU ON HIS LAP #Giggles

@Rasta @melissabeartrix @ItsThatDeafGuy Listen if a handsome bearded man wants me to sit on his lap, then I might say yes if he's respectful and has candy, the story is a bonus LOL

@RickiTarr And a Sailor too! You just don't get enough lap-sitting on Santa Sailor 😉​ And he has all the lines that young girls fall for, well, those under 50 do LOL @melissabeartrix @ItsThatDeafGuy

@Rasta @RickiTarr @ItsThatDeafGuy

Thanks Rasta, really you would do that to me ... I'm 51 ... Pout ... I miss out ... Pout ... Giggles

Hugz & xXx

@melissabeartrix Luckily for you kid, that's hot stuff in my *hood* @RickiTarr @ItsThatDeafGuy

@Rasta @RickiTarr @ItsThatDeafGuy

We all know I would plonk myself on Santa's lap just to get to licking a lollipop ... Giggles

Hugz & xXx

@melissabeartrix @Rasta @ItsThatDeafGuy I knew we'd hear from you there Princess Trix lol

@melissabeartrix Did that go public? LOL Hey, I'm not growing my beard this year. You'll be sitting on the lap of a skinny guy with just a stache.. But a wicked stache it is.

@Rasta that sounds just as inviting ... Giggles

Hugz & xXx

@melissabeartrix @Rasta @ItsThatDeafGuy Yeah my hubs usually gets the week between the 25th and New Year, and I love getting that time, but I've worked a restaurant and retail and you never get those days off, so I feel for the workers.
