Based on some of my favorite Christmas movies:
My Top 10 Things To Steer Clear Of during this holiday season…

  1. Sticking your tongue to a cold flag pole.  Ouch. (A Christmas Story)
  2. The Bumpus’ hounds or any other pack of ravenous mastiffs bent on eating your Christmas turkey. (A Christmas Story)
  3. Scott Farkus.  Oh, those leering yellow eyes!  (A Christmas Story)
  4. Roast Beast.  Not just because of it being a mystery meat, but also because you don’t know whose furry green hands have touched it.  (The Grinch Who Stole Christmas)
  5. Squirrels hopped up on eggnog.  (National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation)
  6. Taking Santa Claus to court.  It’s just really, really bad PR.  (Miracle on 34th Street)
  7. Saying things like, "May he be boiled in his own pudding and have a stake of holly driven through his heart…"  Also, not a very good way to solicit a gift exchange. (A Christmas Carol)
  8. Going dancing at a 1940s "sock hop" on a retractable gymnasium floor positioned over a swimming pool.  Is it just me or does anyone else find this concept incredibly bizarre?  It’s almost as strange as that "Buffalo gal, won’t you come out tonight…" song. (It’s A Wonderful Life)
  9. Befriending snowmen.  Let’s face it, it’s the epitome of a short-term commitment.  You can’t even call them fair-weather friends. (Frosty the Snowman)
  10. Yukon Cornelius teamed with Herbie the (sadistic) Elf dentist.  Claymation Goodfellas.  See previous post… (Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer)

    Oh man, that one had me rolling, especially the Goodfellas reference. HEY, YOU DON’T MESS WITH A MADE ELF.

    So, here is the question: would Herbie and Cornelius stop by Herbie’s mother’s house on the way back from “their job” for some Linguine Elfredo?

    I have to addmitt to a story when I was way young and in minnisota, remember young is the operative word here. Me and a couple of brothers told one of our younger brothers if he licked the metal cloths line poll it would taste like a popscile, we lived in and simpler life time and not much tv, but he took our advise well………needless to say you can imagine what happened. Man was mom mad at us, and him. WE did however feel pretty bad we didn’t realize that at that cold of a temperature it would stay stuck until mom poured hot water on it quickley, but some of it got kind of left behind. I think seeing him in pain was worse than the punishment. Not a cool thing for kids to learn to do. MER
