So, I've got the tree and decs down, and with the help of Dij the cat (um...) amy puttin up the decorations for the season.
To help me in this, I have wound the music up : from Serious Sam The Second Encounter, the Snow Level "Jingle bells" bit, complete with machine gun fire, rocket launchers, headless bombers, and Kleer galloping around.
Very festive.
It will soon segue into Trans Siberian Orchestra's "Dreams Of FireFlies" and "The Lost Christmas Eve" albums.
So what do you listen to to get that festive feeling?

Apart from Kevin Bloody Wilson, you mean?
Well, I'm quite partial to country music, so I just listened to Suzy Bogguss, "Two Step 'Round the Christmas Tree" - one of my absolute favourites...

Not Christmas time until I hear Al Hirt[^]. 
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Does Dij climb up inside the tree? Over the years we've had several kittens climb the tree and get stuck. The only thing more exsanguinating than pulling the kitten out through the branches was trying to clean the pine sap out of their hair.

Yes! And removes the baubles, crackers, and even steals the oasis Herself uses for canled and stuff on the mantelpiece.
But fortunately, no sap - we got a good quality artificial tree fifteen or so years ago, and it's still going strong. It looks more natural than a real one by boxing day!

Since we have hardwood floors, we've always had to keep the fragile ornaments off the bottom couple of feet of the tree. Like Dij, our kittens loved to knock stuff down. All of our cats are now older, so they prefer sleeping underneath.
We alternate between using a natural tree and an artificial one. I think the cats liked the live tree more for climbing purposes .

If you seek to aid everyone that suffers in the galaxy, you will only weaken yourself … and weaken them.

About a half dozen years ago I was at my parents house baking cookies while rocking out to Marilyn Manson when my Mom got home from work. For some reason she wasn't amused by my musical selections. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Herself has been watching the TV again, and has decided we will be having M&S Sugar Plum Christmas Pudding for our Christmas lunch dessert. That I don't like Christmas Pud too much, and would prefer a baked apple, or a homemade Lemon Tart is irrelevant.
As is the weather: Is very wet, and pretty windy, but...off I go to the nearest M&S food hall.
£14!
For a Christmas Pudding? 
And it doesn't even include the tanner!

SHE's got a craving for pudding and YOU are sent out in the rain!!! Is she pregnant? 
That's the only way to explain that in my book!

If she's pregnant, he only have to step out of the door, count to ten and step back. She will have a new wish already...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is (V).

Thankfully, no. She was "fixed" after her son was born with a congenital brain problem that runs in her family. He died young, and she decided it wasn't fair to risk it again.

Sorry 'bout that, but OK, then there can only be one other explanition: You are well and thoroughly "kittenwhipped"...

You are not married, are you?  This is perfectly normal behavior. I can't count the number of times I've had to run to the store to pick up something when an odd craving has come over possessed my wife.

In that case, my answer to Griff from a few minutes ago applies to you as well...

Again, you are not married, are you? 
Your comment is probably accurate, but if you think you will be able to win that battle in the long run, I am afraid you will learn your lesson the hard way, just as most of us have.
