Merry Christmas to those I know and those I don’t.

A city cop was on his horse waiting to cross the street when a little girl named Mary stopped beside him on her new shiny bike. “Nice bike” the cop said “did Santa bring it to you?”.

“Yep,” the little girl said, “he sure did!”.

The cop looked the bike over and handed the girl a $20 ticket for a safety violation, saying “Next year tell Santa to put a reflector light on the back of it.”

The young girl looked up at the cop and said, “Nice horse you got there sir. Did Santa bring it to you?”.

“Yes, he sure did,” chuckled the cop.

The little girl looked up at the cop and said, “Next year tell Santa the dick goes underneath the horse, not on top.”

This is the time of year that you either love or hate and considering recent events I’m indifferent to it this year, to be honest!

To all my readers my very best wishes for a happy Christmas and a prosperous and an awesome 2006. Also enjoy your holiday, eat all on offer, be merry and be with your families (if you can)!

Real or Fake? That question can only mean one thing - the debate many homes have over the type of Christmas tree. Choosing a real or an artificial tree entails many considerations, including how long you want to display the tree, do you have the time to properly maintain/cleanup after a real tree, appearance and cost. The end goal is to have a beautiful Christmas tree for everyone to enjoy, but the decision usually comes down to personal preference.

Let’s look at the advantages of each Fake tree:- convenience,used year after year, no mess, and doesn’t have to be watered and maintained. Many newer artificial trees look very realistic, now come with built in lights, come in array of seasonal colors, and are partly decorated. Once the festive season is over, you can just pack it up and store it until next year. Real tree:- many species to choose from, variety of textures, sizes, shapes , picking out your very own Christmas tree and the most importantly that unmistakeable natural fragrance which fills the whole house.

Whether you choose to have an artificial or real Christmas tree, may it bring you joy this festive season.
