What have we learned about…
Christmas
1. Some houses have a Christmas hole where “the Christmas comes out”. Our old house had this. Our new one does not.
Christmas trees
1. Too many Christmas lights = not nearly enough
2. Scouts now no longer use the sale of Christmas trees as a fundraiser due to th OH&S regulations*
3. Application of decorations precipitates immediate Christmas frenzy
4. High level of decoration concentrated between knee and waist height which must be secretly amended while beings less than four feet tall are asleep
5. Should have a goddamn star on top. OKAY OKAY GRIZZLEWICK I GIVE UP WE JUST MOVED AND ALL THE SHOPS HAVE SOLD OUT OF CHRISTMAS TREE STARS. I AM A BAD MOTHER. A BAD MOTHER, I TELL YOU
Elves
Are creepy little buggers
May or may not “help” Santa
“The reason for the season”…I give you “Pray and Play Pals”
1. Jesus action figure comes WITH STAFF (which is a stick, not the apostles)
2. Buy Joseph, Mary and baby in a set to SAVE!!!! (there is apparently, more than one way to promote a nuclear heterosexual family, one of which is appealing to the miserly nature of parents)
3. Moses (not strictly Christmas-y) has MAGNETIC HANDS with which to HOLD THE WORD OF GOD (ALSO MAGNETIC)!!!!!
I know the kinds of games kids play with their toys...these guys are not safe. And also: if our prophet/God looks like a Smurf, I challenge his ability to cast out devils of any kind.
Except maybe Gargamel.
* While this might seem like my rapier wit, it is in fact the utter truth.

Yikes! Those 'action' figures are just plain scary!
Have a great Christmas, GW.

Help Meva, I can't comment on your blog anymore. Possible I am a doofus.
Merry Christmas if you come back this way before then : )
You have to suspect that the OH&S thing is somebody's rapier wit. Surely.
I have had the same problem with commenting on Meva's blog (and quite a few others who went to the beta or whatever they call it now).
It seems that the only way to make it work is to select "Other" instead of "Blogger" and then type in your name and the address for your blog. Tedious, but well worth it to be part of the fun times over at Bills and Moon.
The image of a smurf/apostle/Moses casting out Gargamel will be hard to forget. Thank you.
And I hope that you, Mr Fix and the adorable Grizzlewick have a lovely Christmas.
