Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and The Sound of Music.

Drop Dead Fred, which has absolutely nothing to do with Christmas but my sister and I often watch it

Posy · 13-01-2015 09:09AM

Oooh, I LOVE Drop Dead Fred! It was the first ever film I owned on video.

For me it's got to be the original Superman movie. The only time of the year they show that movie.

Today's question,

If you could replace one thing on the Christmas Dinner what would it be and what would you replace it with?

Scarinae · 14-01-2015 01:59PM

I would take out the Brussels sprouts, I just don't like them and I always feel I have to eat one just because it's Christmas.

I can't think of anything I'd replace them with though, there's more than enough food I like! Maybe I'd just swap them for a nicer vegetable, like peas

Toto Wolfcastle · 14-01-2015 02:03PM

I'd replace potatoes with stuffing. I'm not that gone on potatoes anyway and more stuffing is always good.

Or I'd replace them with an Easter egg for the lulz.

Yes!! Couldn't agree more with this statement.

I think I'd remove sprouts- although I only eat about 2- but I'd definitely replace them with another type of stuffing. I think about 4 or 5 types are essential for a good Christmas dinner.

I tried to introduce fried sweet potatoe this year.. Got shot down before it even hit the dining table!

This year I'll gladly eat your sweet potatoes. I love sweet potatoes.

I don't eat sprouts at all, definitely more stuffing😃

Same here. I feel obliged to eat sprouts despite not being a fan.

Toto Wolfcastle · 14-01-2015 09:06PM

I tried them for the first time this year. They were nice. The ones I tried were from the freezer so I'd like to try fresh ones.

Into The Blue · 14-01-2015 09:16PM

If sprouts were that nice, we'd eat them all year!! Not just one day

kitten_k · 15-01-2015 02:26AM

I must be the only one who enjoys sprouts!

Nope, I love them too. They're one of the best things in all of Christmas-land.

Scarinae · 15-01-2015 11:04AM

My Mum and sister both like sprouts, evidently they have no tastebuds

Loughc · 15-01-2015 12:02PM

Well yesterday's question certainly sproutted up a debate :pac:

Today's question is, What is your favourite Christmas Decoration you have?

Mine are the warm led lights on the tree, I love the multi functions aspect, I love making the lights dance haha.

a felt advent calendar with pockets for each date so you can put whatever in.. (normally chocolate Santa's).

I bought it for my wife (then new girlfriend) when she bought her first house. She came from a home where they didn't go in for special occasions.. So when she was at work, I decked out her house like Christmas puked all over it! She was like a child on Christmas morning going around excitidly inspecting everything one by one..

Toto Wolfcastle · 15-01-2015 12:46PM

We have some lovely decorations, and my favourite definitely isn't the nicest one we have, but we bought it in a Christmas shop in Carmel, California when we were on honeymoon so I love it.

My Granny has always been very crafty and good at things like knitting and patchwork, and she brought me along to a craft fair in the RDS when I was a kid. While we were there she bought me a kit for making a reindeer Christmas decoration out of a polystyrene ball, sequins, pipe cleaners etc, and I was so excited about it that I made it almost as soon as I got home. It is one of the few homemade decorations that is allowed onto the ‘nice’ tree each year (all the rest are consigned to the small tree in the TV room, along with the tacky 90s decorations!). Granny has dementia now and doesn’t know who I am anymore.

This isn’t a great picture of it (pulled from facebook) but it gives you an idea!

washiskin · 15-01-2015 10:26PM

I have so many that are dear to me it would be impossible to pick one. What I will say is it's become the norm for me to write where & when I got the decoration so in years to come I won't be standing at the tree wondering where I got them..

A snowman walks into a fruit and veg shop and says 'I'm here to pick my nose.'

Scarinae · 16-01-2015 02:14PM

He felt his presents!

Into The Blue · 16-01-2015 02:26PM
