Ahh my results said;

Christmas is still fun, but you feel a little bit sad that it has lost its childhood magic. Nevertheless you try, try and try again. Most likely to watch repeats of Slade performing Merry Xmas Everybody on Top of the Pops in 1973

Here you go: cheesy

IMHO it's a pretty lousy song, never heard it before, but it beat one of my favorite Christmas songs "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday" out for #1 that year. (In the U.K. not this side of the Atlantic)

HAha Thanks xmas,I actually Have heard it before on the radio but did not know that was it until I just heard it now...I think it is a pretty catchy tune so maybe my prediction was right on.lol

Well, there's no slowing it down now, Christmas has come with a vengeance!

So many great emotions come with Christmas, no other holiday can do what it does.

Enjoy the next few days, folks!

The winner is Christmas Story (2007, Finland) Synopsis:
Hundreds of years ago in Lapland, a little boy named Nikolas loses his family in an accident. The villagers decide to look after the orphaned boy together. Once a year - at Christmas - Nikolas moves to a new home. To show his gratitude, Nikolas decides to make toys for the children of the families as good-bye presents. Over the years, Nikolas's former adoptive families become many, and soon almost every house has presents on its doorstep on Christmas morning. At thirteen, Nikolas is sent to live and work with Iisakki, a grumpy old carpenter, who forbids Nikolas to continue making presents for Christmas. Gradually, however, Nikolas wins Iisakki's trust. Together they begin to look after the Christmas traditional that Nikolas has begun. When the aged Iisakki has to leave Nikolas and move away, the tradition of Christmas presents is once again at risk. Thankfully, Nikolas comes up with a solution that brings children joy every Christmas, even continuing to today. Written by anonymous

It's a great movie!

Just sitting here having a Marie Callender's chicken pot pie for lunch. Waiting until this evening. I will try to stay on the whole time for the Love Fest; I don't want to miss Binger, Made, Xmas, Coach, Brad and anyone else who joins in. If it's anything like the beginning of the Season, tonight will prove to be a blast!!!

I love deep fried Turkey. I use to make one every year but it's been a couple of years since I last did it.

I'm trying to remember how New Year's Eve is on MMC...like is it busy or is it dead? I don't remember which it is.. this year I am almost sure I will be here at home or either in a labor room! does seawaters give out prizes to the last poster or first one in the new thread...that would be fun..I can't believe I have been in this thread A whole year,but I am so glad I ventured into here,I did not even really know what this thread was about the first few months I was a member so I stayed in the games section until I felt confident to post here. I think we will make it to 30k posts at the beginning of the year I thought that was a long shot!
