The drum kit I got for Christmas has been very useful – I now have a tiny amount of the talent Ringo has, as opposed to none before!  

Correction: You always had the talent (or not). What you now have that you didn’t previously, my dear fellow, is skilla-hard-days-night-ringo-15

My friends and I hung out all New Year’s Day together and we exchanged gifts and things. I have finally succeeded in getting a Beatley thing for Christmas this year and that was:

 

A 3D print of the Abbey Road cover they move when I look at it at different angles- pretty sweet.

 

I also got a snowy owl who I immediately called Hedwig, a finger puppet of an old lady and a snowflake cookie scented candle, a unicorn ornament and some Pikachu slipper-socks.

 

Good haul lads, good haul.

I got the Lennonology book, three Joanna Newsom albums on CD (two that I already had on vinyl), a graphic novel about Stu and Astrid called Baby’s In Black , the first two Robert Plant solo albums, and a Steve Hackett live album.

As is tradition, it’s the 1st of November and ASJ has to reopen this thread.

So…

CHRISTMAS IS COMING LADS, 54 DAYS TO GO!!!!

 

So this year’s opening question is:

What’s your favourite part of Christmas dinner? Mine is the stuffing, mmmmm.

For me?

The jocularity, and how everyone really doesn’t have much of care in the world, at least for a day.

This is very untraditional but prawns wrapped in bacon on the barbie is my favourite.

^Thanksgiving from a Scotsman?!?! Don’t tell us you’re some kind of East Yank*, mmm!! 

 

*This has now become the European equivalent for ‘West Brit’ 

 

Also 2017 marks the first year (in 4 years) that mmm has not been the first person to reply to my opening post with a complaint about getting excited for Christmas in November. Tommo and THGF got there first.

My family has Christmas breakfast/brunch. I love my cousin’s breakfast casserole, but my fave thing is chocolate gravy over biscuits.

I came here to agree with mmm… then I saw AG’s post.

OH MY GOD CHOCOLATE GRAVY BISCUITS
WHY HAVE I NEVER HAD THEM BEFORE
MY LIFE HAS BEEN LIVED IN VAIN

See what you’ve done, naughty AG? Anyway, I refuse to answer ASJ’s question until a decent amount of November has passed. I can’t even think about Christmas yet — there are still green leaves on the trees!*

We actually usually don’t have anything special for Christmas dinner.  It’s usually just a normal dinner. 

I'm Necko.  I'm like Ringo except I wear necklaces.

I'm also ewe2 on weekends.

Most likely to post things that make you go hmm... 2015, 2016, 2017.

Roasted ferret burgers and fried squirrel face are my favorite traditional Christmas dishes.

My favorite part of Christmas dinner is the brussels sprouts. The cookies are always better than the dinner, though. My mom goes hard making cookies every year for Christmas and my grandma and great-grandma come over to help make them with us sometimes. We usually start making them the beginning of December.

No way, that’s my favourite part too!! ahdn_george_08I didn’t think anyone else would share this view as everyone around me seems to hate them.

My favourite part in general is when I listen to Tchaikovsky’s ballet The Nutcracker, like every year. (not live, unfortunately)

Not once does the diversity seem forced -- the genius of the record is how the vaudevillian "When I'm 64" seems like a logical extension of "Within You Without You" and how it provides a gateway to the chiming guitars of "Lovely Rita. - Stephen T. Erlewine on Sgt Pepper's

Oh, fine… I guess my favourite part is listening to certain important albums (December by George Winston; A Charlie Brown Christmas; both of Mannheim Steamroller’s Christmas albums) whilst decorating. And making things for people.

I've been up on the mountain, and I've seen his wondrous grace,
I've sat there on the barstool and I've looked him in the face.
He seemed a little haggard, but it did not slow him down,
he was humming to the neon of the universal sound.
