Mine too

I should be there, funds permitting.

 

[Pieface]

Lots of december birthdays out there! You have to compete for attention with Jesus and shopping you poor buggers

Would everyone recognise a person dressed as a Christingle orange?

What's a Christingle orange? Is it like a Terry's orange?

 

[Pieface]

Hmm. Not so chocolatey. My pre-costume poll isn't going well so far

 

[dodgepot]

i have vague memories of christingle oranges from my childhood.

 

[spanglechick]

I has bought this dress (well obviously not that actual dress - mine is about twice as wide) and 5 yards of marabou for trimming. I shall look like someone in "white christmas" - not bing crosby, though....

Will you have little cocktail sticks with raisins and liquorice allsorts on them sticking out of you?

Christingle ftw

NO! Does anyone know what Cristingle is?!

 

[dodgepot]

i can't remember much about it - something to do with advent, isn't it?

 

[foo]

isn't a christingle an orange with candle stuck in it?


edit: yes it seems it is.

and what a pathetic looking object it is too

[dodgepot]

fuck off foo - it's not what it looks like, it's what it represents

 

[foo]

oh sorry. i was trying to be helpful.

 

[dodgepot]

i can't remember why i ever went to a christingle service. it might have been with cubs. although i did go to church a lot, so it might just be cause of that, although it wasn't at the usual church i went to.

 

[Pieface]

I only went with Brownies.

yes foo, that's the one. I might go as that

I think it's a C of E thing. We never had it in Catholic church!

 

[Pieface]

Oh right - that explains it. Actually it sounds just like a shit festival name they made up to compensate for the fact that all the interesting rituals happen in the Catholic Church

 

[dodgepot]

yeah that's what has been confusing me. i've been reading up on it and it seems to be a CoE thing, but i went to one, yet i was a catholic.

anyway, PRoD - i might very well be too skint as it happens. and too skint for Termite Man's birthday bash, too.

a bit like winterval?

Yeah but when you were a cubscout you were anyone's. Only Brownies exposed me to Cristingle.

 

[dodgepot]

i'm not sure if that makes sense

 

[Pieface]

None of it did, especially not the hurty melting wax running off my hands

 

[dodgepot]

((((S&M brownies))))

 

[Tank Girl]

M&S brownies are nicer.

 

[Pieface]

I got thrown out of Brownies. What's Henry doing for his birthday. Apparently this is phase 2.

 

[dodgepot]

back to the planet at the hobahoot.

 

[dodgepot]

anyway - about this "free tequila for all"....

 

[Pieface]

I posted on the wrong thread

It gives my orange outfit a real theme though.

 

[El Jefe]

Remember folks - bumper xmas present for the first 100 through the door
