Xmas Theme

[cloggypop]

Is there a way of making this non compulsory? Last year I went so gozzy that my family did not recognise me when I went back to see them.
This year I do not even have snowflakes. Instead I have falling little squares.
It is also November.

Fuck me that was quick. They have gone.

I suggested we get one ready (sorry).

I also said the option to turn off or not have snowflakes would be nice cos most people hate them.

You should always be able to change theme to standard on every forum if you're a bah humbug 😉

You should see how the Dutch celebrate. Instead of elves Santa is helped by a load of slaves. They are generally played by white people in blackface like The Black and White Minstrel Show but with afro wigs. Apparently it is not racist though as it is just fun for the kids.

You have Zwarte Piet? No way. The Dutch also have the equivalent racist chocolatey treat but with marshmallow in and called negerzoenen. Swedish ones look better.

Just to clarify it isn't celebrated in Sweden at all. It's not a Swedish tradition. The term Black Peter lives on as a card game or a cartoon character but there are no white people with painted faces walking around giving away sweets on Xmas.

So...eh....Xmas theme.
