Christmas is a time for celebration and sharing with loved ones. You can spice up your holiday with these festive tips for Christmas this year:
- When giving a pet as a gift, wrap it at least a week before Christmas so that it has time to get used to the box. You don’t want it to shuffle around and spoil the surprise.
- Try drinking the water at the base of the tree — it looks and tastes just like beer.
- If you want to try something trendy, turkey sushi is an excellent idea.
- If some worrier grumbles about salmonella, just be firm and tell them you’re not serving sea food.
- You can give your mulled wine an extra kick with a liter of grain alcohol.
- If you’ve reached your fifth glass of eggnog, you haven’t had enough that you can’t count.
- If you’re sitting near someone who’s on their fifth eggnog, wear a waterproof coat and tickle them. It’s hilarious.
- Christmas lights look like candy, and taste like it too!
- If you discover that you suddenly have more guests than your turkey will feed, have a quick check for the family pet.
- Cranberry sauce covers the taste of anything — even most varieties of mould and fungus.
- All dropped food has a “5 second rule”, even the turkey gravy.
- That CD of bagpipes and tribal drumming makes good background music during dinner.
(I’ll continue this list as I think of more. Suggestions are welcome.)
