Holz für Weihnachtshasser

Na dös is ja amoi a Stöckerl… von Wiesenraute, aufgegriffen im Stöckchen-Blog.

  1. “Weihnachten, das Fest der Liebe und des Friedens – dass ich nicht lache.” Belegen Sie dieses berühmte Zitat mit adäquaten Argumenten.
    Wos wuist, Saubazi, narrischer? Komm bloß her, no fängst dir a paar, du Himmelhund, du elendiger! Schaug liaber, dass d’Land gwinnst!
    Doagaff, damischer!
    Sowas würde ich von Januar bis November nie schreiben. q.e.d. :bigsmile:
    Disclaimer: Diese Schimpftirade ist an niemanden gerichtet, auch nicht an dich! ;)
  2. An welchen Stellen in der Bibel kommen die folgenden weihnachtlichen Figuren vor?
    a.) Rudolf das rotbenaste Rentier

    Sentinel 18, 23
    b.) der Weihnachtsmann
    Myra 6, 12
    c.) der Rauschgoldengel mit der Blockflöte
    Jethro 19, 67
  3. Es ist viel sinnvoller, sich zu Silvester Geschenke zu machen und nicht zu Weihnachten. Erörtern Sie.
    Finde ich nicht. Viele haben Urlaub/Ferien von Weihnachten bis ca. 6. Januar. Und zwischen Weihnachten 6. Januar hat man viel mehr Zeit, die Geschenke umzutauschen, aus dem Fenster zu werfen, in die Luft zu jagen oder im Meer zu versenken als zwischen Silvester und 6. Januar.

A baton for the Chrismas tree

A German blog baton…

  • 3 (material) wishes for Christmas
    – an MP3 player (not from Apple ;) )
    – a big, good digital camera
    – a few energy-saving lamps
  • 3 people I would like to celebrate Christmas with
    I’m highlighting the “would” like others before:
    – Freddie Mercury †
    – my grandparents on my mother’s side †† (but better not at the same time as Freddie)
  • 3 people that will receive a present from me
    – my parents (who already know)
    – I won’t name more since they read here, too…
  • 3 people that should catch this baton
    Any non-German-speaker who wants to pick up this translation of mine?

Advent in my blog [Update]

Well, my blog’s advent/christmas design is now completely online – if it doesn’t look right for you (cf. screenshot), please click “Reload”, “Refresh” or whatever its name is in your browser…

Update 25 Nov: I thought the snow could cast some shadow onto the blue bar…

At the bottom of the sidebar on the right hand side, there are also a few candles.

Clock changes are unpopular / Advent’s Advent

The result of my last poll here in the sidebar on the right about the clock changes for daylight saving time: a vast majority of 83% (of 24 participants) want to do away with the changes and keep summer time, so that it’s longer bright in the evening. In detail:

The next poll is already ready: Do you have an Advent wreath (or will you have one starting first Advent)?

Ouch!

That’s got to hurt when they cut someone out of a garden!

We cut you out of their garden

You know, in German, there’s a difference between “sie” (she, they) and “Sie” (you (as address)) as well as “ihren” (her, their) and “Ihren” (your) – so they said “Wanted: Christmas tree, 12–20 meters, very nicely grown fir or spruce. We will also cut you out of their garden” instead of “…Wie will also cut it out of your garden.”

I know, not half as funny if you have to explain it…

But I can understand that the firs and spruces want to be undisturbed and have intruders removed…
