Title: Three Words
Post by: Mince on December 03, 2013, 08:41:35 PM: You have to sum up Christmas in three words: adverb, adjective and noun.

Here are mine: frustratingly magical nostalgia.

The scrooge hat will be awarded at the end of the thread.

Hang on, the first word has to be an adverb...
Bahly Hum Bug.

Actually, I still have a fondness for Christmas. As you get older, it's difficult not to look around the dinner table and remember the faces that are no longer there but it's still a happy occasion. Daftness and laughter still abound. My "kids" (now in their mid-twenties) are long gone from home but, happily, remain enthusiastic about returning for a traditional Christmas. I grew up in a small village in the Scottish Highlands, 1,200 ft above sea level, so my Christmases were often white and I can still remember the excitement of them. That excitement has, over the years, been slowly replaced by nostalgia but that's okay, too.
Right, I'm off to flick round the channels to see if I can find "It's a Wonderful Life".

Post by: Mince on December 08, 2013, 04:56:43 PM: Our story begins on a cold, bleak, and biting Christmas Eve in the Scottish Highlands, as Roger is walking home through the snow, exactly seven years after the death of his secret business partner, Mad Pierre. Roger is a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, old windbag who has no place in his life for Doctor Who or Christmas. He hates both, calling them Bahly hum bug. He even refuses to have a Christmas Competition.

As he reaches the door of his home....
