25 Xmas Ideas to Torture Your Roommate12/17/07
 
1. Claim you were a Christmas tree in your former life. If s/he tries to bring one into the room, scream bloody murder and thrash on the floor.

2. Go to the mall with your roommate and sit on Santa's lap. Refuse to get off.

3. Wear a Santa suit all the time. Deny you're wearing it.

4. Squat in a corner rocking back and forth chanting, "Santa Claus is coming to town, Santa Claus is coming to town..."

5. Hang mistletoe in the doorway. When your roommate enters or leaves the room, plant a big wet one on his/her lips.

6. Hang a stocking with your roommates name on it. Collect coal and sharp objects in it. If s/he asks, say "you've been very naughty this year."

7. Paint your nose red and wear antlers. Constantly complain about how you never get to join in on the reindeer games.

8. Make conversation out of Christmas Carols. (i.e., "You know, I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus underneath the mistletoe last night.")

9. Contuinuously sing Millenium Prayer, the Cliff Richard version.

10. Wrap yourself in Christmas lights and roll around in the snow.

11. Sing: "All I want for Christmas is my roommate's two front teeth..." Give your roommate the gifts from the twelve days of Christmas song.

12. Build a snowman with your roommate and place a hat on its head. When it doesn't come to life, cry hysterically"it didn't work!"

13. Whip your roommate screaming "now Dasher, now Dancer, now Donna, and Blitzen, etc."

14. Tear down all your roommate's Christmas decorations yelling "Bah Humbug!"

15. Wake up every morning screaming "Ghost of Christmas Future, please have mercy on my soul!" (The Lords Of Darkness apply here too...)

16. Tell your roommate you're moving out. Santa's buying you a house on 34th Street.

17. Pin a poinsetta to your lapel.

18. Make anatomically correct gingerbread people and eat the best parts first.

19. Put on a fake white beard and insist that all your roommate's friends "give it a yank."

20. Ring jingle bells maniacally saying "every time a bell rings an angel gets his/her wings."

21. Stand in front of the mirror reciting "How the Grenache Stole Christmas" over and over in your underwear.

22. Smoke mistletoe. Do what comes naturally.

23. Watch your roommate when s/he is sleeping. When s/he wakes up sing, "he sees you when you're sleeping..."

24. Steal a life size nativity scene and display it in your room. When your roommate asks, tell him/her "I had to let them stay here, there's no room at the inn."

25. When your roommate goes to the bathroom, rearrange his/her possessions. Tell him/her that Santa's elves must have done it

20 ways to confuse santa at xmas x x x12/17/07
 
1. Instead of milk and cookies, leave him a salad, and a note explaining that you think he could stand to lose a few pounds.

2. While he's in the house, go find his sleigh and write him a speeding ticket.

3. Leave him a note, explaining that you've gone away for the holidays. Ask if he would mind watering your plants.

4. While he's in the house, replace all his reindeer with exact replicas. Then wait and see what happens when he tries to get them to fly.

5. Keep an angry bull in your living room. If you think a bull goes crazy when he sees a little red cape, wait until he sees that big, red Santa suit!

6. Build an army of mean-looking snowmen on the roof, holding signs that say "We hate Christmas," and "Go away Santa."

7. Leave a note by the telephone, telling Santa that Mrs. Claus called and wanted to remind him to pick up some milk and a loaf of bread on his way home.

8. Throw a surprise party for Santa when he comes down the chimney. Refuse to let him leave until the strippers arrive.

9. While he's in the house, find the sleigh and sit in it. As soon as he comes back and sees you, tell him that he shouldn't have missed that last payment, and take off.

10. Leave a plate filled with cookies and a glass of milk out, with a note that says, "For The Tooth Fairy. :) " Leave another plate out with half a stale cookie and a few drops of skim milk in a dirty glass with a note that says, "For Santa. :( "

11. Take everything out of your house as if it's just been robbed. When Santa arrives, show up dressed like a policeman and say, "Well, well. They always return to the scene of the crime."

12. Leave out a copy of your Christmas list with last-minute changes and corrections.

13. While he's in the house, cover the top of the chimney with barbed wire.

14. Leave lots of hunting trophies and guns out where Santa's sure to see them. Go outside, yell, "Ooh! Look! A deer! And he's got a red nose!" and fire a gun.

15. Leave Santa a note, explaining that you've moved. Include a map with unclear and hard-to-read directions to your new house.

16. Set a bear trap at the bottom of the chimney. Wait for Santa to get caught in it, and then explain that you're sorry, but from a distance, he looked like a bear.

17. Leave out a Santa suit, with a dry-cleaning bill.

18. Paint "hoof-prints" all over your face and clothes. While he's in the house, go out on the roof. When he comes back up, act like you've been "trampled." Threaten to sue.

19. Instead of ornaments, decorate your tree with Easter eggs.

20. Dress up like the Easter Bunny. Wait for Santa to come and then say, "This neighborhood ain't big enough for the both of us."

Why do some people hang big socks on their mantelpiece at Christmas?12/5/07
 
Saint Nicholas, according to old tradition, left his very first gifts ever in the stockings of three poor girls. The original Father Christmas gave them three gold coins to pay for their wedding dowries.

The stockings had been hung on the hearth to dry above the fire. Nowadays, many families continue this tradition by hanging up stockings either at the end of the bed or above the fire for Father Christmas to fill with presents.

Some families still have small items such as fruit, nuts and sweets in their stockings. Other items traditionally appear in stockings, including tangerines and a lump of coal for naughty children.

Why are mistletoe and holly associated with Christmas?12/5/07
 
Mistletoe has always been a major decoration at Christmas, and has given rise to a ?kiss under the mistletoe.? The plant has a long history of pagan use, and this caused the church to ban the use of mistletoe.

In exchange, the church called for the use of holly. Although the red berries are thought of as traditional Christmas colours, few people know why. The sharp leaves of holly were once thought to represent the thorns of the crown of Christ, whilst the red berries were his blood.



Why do people kiss under the mistletoe at Christmas?


People who meet under the mistletoe at Christmas are supposed to kiss. The origins of this romantic slant to mistletoe could stem from the Scandinavian goddess of love (Frigga), who herself is strongly associated with mistletoe.

Mistletoe gives rise to all sorts of rumours and mischief, and is a favourite at office parties and other festive occasions.

Why do we give Xmas Cards?12/5/07
 
Christmas cards also have a long tradition within the mythology of Christmas, although not as old as gift giving. Long before Christmas cards were printed commercially (the first was in 1843, in London by John Callcott Horsley) it is thought that the tradition of accompanying gifts with a card had evolved.

Christmas cards are designed to celebrate the festive season, and have always included scenes of festivity, feasting, joy and celebration.

Throughout recent English history Christmas cards have gradually evolved through the Victorian and Edwardian era. Although early Christmas cards were purchased individually, most are now purchased in packs, usually of various designs. In the digital age, many people now tailor-make their own Christmas cards. The Christmas card is in decline, however, as increased communications make it less of a priority.
